Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

7 point lead in the batting race. 1 homer ahead of Hamilton, 2 ahead of Encarnacion. Hamilton goes this afternoon, Encarnacion an hour before our game starts.

Quick look at the numbers. If Cabrera went 0-4, and Trout went 4-4, Trout would lead by decimal points.

Trout (4-4) - .3285714
Cabrera (0-4) - .3285256

Unless the HR race gets dicey, I'd say Cabby doesn't get 4 at bats.

Jose Reyes thinks Cabrera should bunt for a hit and then take himself out of the game, then throw himself a party to watch Mike Trout not win the batting title.

Cabrera could sit out and no one could say anything about it. He has 620 AB. Trout is only at 556.

Also, Detroit is locked into their seed. This game is meaningless for them. There can exist an argument that pulling Cabrera is in the team's best interest.

As long as Hamilton doesn't pound 2 into the bleachers.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Hamilton grounds into a fielder's choice in his first AB.

Barn-burner in Oakland, but just base hits from Hamilton through 5.

Directly from Marlboro Jimmy, on PTI about a half hour ago:

"As of right now, he is in the lineup" (Emphasis mine)

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Hamilton just K'd. I think he's done.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Trout HBP to open the game.

He then tossed the ball into the crowd, where it cured cancer.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Trout grounds out to start the 3rd. Down to .323.
