Tigers at Sox!
Tigers opening up a 3 game series at White Sox Tonight. Matchups:
Greene / Samardjia
Big Pasta / Sale
Lobtstein / Quintana
Its Sox 1, 2, and 3 pitchers vs our 4, 5, and 6, so edge their. Sox just embarrassed themselves in Minnesota, so I'd expect them give us a better effort.
Tigers are no longer on the flaming hot start, but have settled into a pretty good groove.
As an arm chair manager, I wouldn't mind seeing the lineup change to: 3)Cabrera, 4) Cespedes, 5) Victor. 6) JD.
Its nice how long our lineup is right now, and this maybe shortens it, but I feel like we're wasting those doubles Cespedes is hitting with our 2 slowest players in front of him and then JD isnt great on the bases. Plus Victor would prob drive Cespedes home more than the guys behind him now. The other big downside is losing a switch hitter protecting Miggy. No one would ever consult me for baseball strategy.
The Hawk looked like he was ready to cry to open the broadcast.
Signs of life from the Martinez' is good to see, especially against a guy like Sale.
i was thinking this was going to be one of the better wins of the season. looking at probably the worst loss now. Can't be mad at Joba though, our bullpen is awful but had pitched something like 8 scoreless innings vs the Sox.
Deflating loss. Good to see JD find 3 walks today at lest.
