Think i'd rather see Iggy in the 2 hole when the maybin is getting a day off now that iggy isn't over swinging anymore. But hey go have a good game lettuce he's due for his 1 home run on the year isn't he?

There is no reason to justify Lettuce batting 2nd. NONE!

This is the type of thing that irks me.

For his career, Romine hits lefties far better than righties.

Career vs RHP

.227 BAVG .288 OBP .268 SLG .556 OPS

Career vs LHP

.280 BAVG .317 OBP .341 SLG .658 OPS



I am sure there is a logical reason Romine is in the #2 hole.

Did I miss where Maybin looked tired? Is he tired from all the laps around the bases he's been running? It's always a good idea to sit a guy in the middle of a hit streak.

That is kinda stupid isn't it, does he need a day off, is he hobbled a little bit? why give the maybin a day off brad. He's the catalyst that's driven getting the team back on the right path to victories.

Prior to tonight's game, Cabrera and Cameron Maybin will be presented with their American League co-player of the week awards for the period ending May 22. ...

Congrats Maybin, that deserves a night off!

 

[gotime909]

Boyd not too sharp that 1st inning. Needs a quick inning or he might not make it through 5

 

[gotime909]

10 pitch inning for Boyd in the 2nd. Much better

 

[Rebbiv]

Zumaya interview coming up....should be interesting.

 

[Rebbiv]

It will be a miracle if Boyd can go 6 tonight. He needs a short inning.

Tigers notes: Day off for Cameron Maybin, who's still feeling his wrist.

No way I have Boyd come back out for the 6th inning. 91 stress-filled pitches are enough.

Agreed, should have the full pen available too.

 

[Mawilli]

Won't matter much anyway, I smell a complete game shutout for sanchez.

 

[tigermud]

This Sanchez guy is absolutly dominating tonight.

 

[tigermud]

This game is likely over, like the tigers chances to take the series tomorrow though...

 

[gotime909]

I hope we don't over use Greene

 

[tigermud]

Good job limiting the damage now just need this Sanchez guy to fall apart

 

[manchild98]

This dude has nasty stuff if you K VMart 3 times....twice on just 3 pitches.

 

[manchild98]

That's embarrassing Parnell.
