Rain Delay. And that game is now in the 13th...
-
And with that bullpen, the Tigers may actually be worse.. we have Casey Janssen, Detroit has---nothing. Rondon's not ready, Benoit is a setup man, and their other bullpen arms aren't good.
-
Well, at least we have the disappointing Tigers next.. but what a gut check of a loss.
-
Well, it's a muggy day. Luckily, Edwin is DHíng today anyway.
-
And another disappointing game for the Tigers. Cleveland is now in 1st in the Central. Detroit is now out of the playoff mix for the wild card--they're well back of Baltimore and Oakland. Doesn't bode well for the Tigers in their coming series with Toronto and Cleveland--they're very similar to the Jays, but with a ton of inconsistency outside of Scherzer, Cabrera and Fielder.
-
Mid-back tightness for Adam Lind. Guess EE will be back to playing 1st again.. if it's a DL need, can we bring up Mauro Gomez?
-
4-6 in their last 10, BTW
-
Eric Thames has been acquired by the O's for Ty Kelly(a low-level prospect playing in AA at 24)
-
Agreed--Pettite's declining, Hughes has home run issues and needs to be traded to a NL team with a large park, and Phelps/Nova have consistency issues. I mean, look how bad Phelps was last night!
-
Keep in mind our schedule begins to lighten up after Detroit(although Detroit isn't playing well either--so you could say it's lightening up after Boston)
-
This is how bad the Yankees are right now: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/yankees/post/_/id/58285/first-pitch-girardis-hands-are-tied Basically, it shows: JPA > Stewart/Romine Lind > Overbay Izturis/Boni/DeRosa < Cano Adams < Izturis/DeRosa/Lawrie(no joke!) Reyes/Kawasaki > Nix Cabrera/Davis > Wells Rasmus = Gardner Bautista > Ichiro Encarnacion/Lind > Hafner Pretty embarassing for the Yankees.. and no significant help is coming.
-
That was for contenders within 3 games.
-
One more note--Detroit is an ugly 17-20 on the road, which is not a good number for a contending team like the Tigers.
-
We're in contention. No way. Detroit's more likely going to overpay for someone like Johnathon Papelbon or Jesse Crain, or even Kevin Gregg.
-
We're not that far back of the Tigers in the standings--only 3.5 back. Detroit is supposed to be one of the best in baseball, but: -Holes in LF and C, and an inconsistent V-Mart. -Anibal Sanchez on DL -Scherzer only real dominant starter--without him, Cleveland's leading the division by a mile. -Very hittable starters outside of Scherzer--Verlander's numbers are down, Fister and Porcello have been inconsistent, and Alvarez is unproven and not a long-term option(he's not even a propsect!) -That AWFUL bullpen! (6-14, 4.04 ERA and just 17 saves) -Weak farm system--only blue chip prospect right now is Nick Castellanos(why hasn't he been called up yet?)
-
Yes--but Verlander has not been the same this year. All his peripherals(hits, walks, pitches per inning) are trending the wrong way.
-
Oh and BTW Detroit needs a closer badly--Rondon blew the game with his lack of command.
-
Wow, the Tigers are under-performing badly! They're in danger of handing their division to Cleveland and endangering their contention chances if they have a bad game tomorrow and in their coming series vs. the Jays and those same Indians.
-
What a fall from grace for the Yankees. Last place is not far away for the Yankees--and unemployment is looming for both Girardi and Cashman if they finish last.
-
Time to fire Girardi and Cashman.. the Yankees are now down 6-0 to Baltimore. They're playing like the Jays in April right now..
-
We still have many games with both teams--don't count us out.
-
Jeff Francouer finally DFAed by the Royals.
-
It's going to be a LONG night for the Yankees.. Phelps is struggling badly.
-
And boy are the Yankees bad--our Jays will be in 3rd in the East soon at the rate things are going, especially with Longoria out for the Rays.
-
Wade Davis sets a major league record--for most pitches to get 3 outs. 69 pitches! Part of the reason why the Royals won't be contending anytime soon.
