Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition
If Peralta goes out, that's trouble, plain and simple. There's no easy, or cheap, solution.
Regarding the offense, first things first. Austin Jackson needs to come back healthy. That's been a big drag on this offense. But there's nothing we can do about that.
As for adjustments, two come to mind. First and foremost, Alex Avila needs to start hitting, or we've got to make a change behind the plate. Either Brayan Pena, or Brian Holaday in AAA-Toledo, or James McCann in AA-Erie, or a trade, or something. We've gotten no production whatsoever out of Avila so far. That must change. Secondly is the DH position, directly behind Fielder. Martinez is simply not producing enough. Maybe a short-term answer is Tuiasosopo, or someone else, but Martinez has yet to really pick things up. Given his age and his injury, there's plenty of reason for concern.

Valverde terrible again tonight. looks like they are sitting on the split finger which doesn't do much. If he can't get it to do more, things are going to get worse. But we really have no one to call on instead, though I wish we did. The whole bullpen needs to be better if we are to win in the fall.

Anibal Sanchez has a stiff shoulder. He'll miss his next start.
Jose Alvarez is being recalled, presumably to take Sanchez' next start as a spot-starter. Dotel to the 60-day DL.
There still has to be another move on the 25-man roster to make room for Alvarez.

Justin Verlander: Avoiding the "Handshake of Doom" last night in the 7th inning. Apparently, Jimmy was not amused.

Just in case you're sitting in front of the television (like me right now), Kevin Ziomek (2nd round pick of the Tigers) is pitching for Vanderbilt against Louisville on ESPN. He gave up a run in the bottom half of the 2nd.

Three run double from Prince.
Carrasco is going to be at 60+ pitches thru 2. If he didn't cash in there, we lose. You can't leave 6 on base, score only 1, make the pitcher throw 60, and expect to win.
Now it's up to Ricky Bobby to give us some innings.
