Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

The initial forecast for this afternoon was marginal, too, IIRC.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

I'll take a 5-spot in the 1st. Nice to be on this end.

Okay, Dirks is out with an injury. Eldred pinch-runs. Where are we going to put him?

9-0, end 4.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Dirks is DHing, so never mind. It would help if I actually looked at a lineup once in a while.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Now, then. Just who in the hell is Brad Eldred? He's a 31 year old with 13 homers in 20 games (81 AB) this season in Toledo, with 21 strikeouts. He's also 6-6 and 270. Oh, and at age 31, he's had a whopping 282 at bats in the majors. 103 of those at bats ended with the umpire saying "Strike 3!". The Dutch are impressed by this windmill.

Two words: Mike Hessman. Don't expect any miracles here.

With that strikeout, Eldred is now 2 for 14 in Detroit. Two hits in his first game at Yankee Stadium, and nothing since. Limited sample size, but...

He can go another 5 at-bats without a hit and still be an upgrade over Inge.

Was that the right call on the Francoeur ground rule double?

What was Leyland's beef?

He's got to get in the field and bungle half a dozen plays, too.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

well inge was hitting what 190 when he left which is better than santiago is hitting right now. Inge made a fantastic play tonight vs the red sox in the 8th, and is hitting, get this, second.
I hope Boesch gets going soon, he looked terrible this evening.

Try .100

Good thing this isn't the BCS. AL Central is looking like the Sun Belt right now. Three way tie for first with each team just a game above .500, only division with every team in double digit losses, and the bottom two are fighting it out for worst in the league. KC and the Twins are 2 games back of the third worst team.

I like the term "windmill". We had more production out of redpop in 2006 than this guy, who, BTW, has had several MLB stops in his career.

Thank goodness for the red sox and royals this season. 7 out of12 wins. 1-6 against that tough west division. But in fairness, Texas does seem to be the class of the A.L. right now.
