April 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906 - A new baseball rule puts the umpire in sole charge of all game balls. The home team manager previously had some say as to when a new ball was introduced.

1914: At age 19, Babe Ruth plays his first professional game as a pitcher, as he throws a six-hit, 6 - 0 shutout for the Baltimore Orioles over the Buffalo Bisons. The second batter Ruth faces is Joe McCarthy, the manager he will play for 17 years later with the Yankees. Ruth is 2 for 4 at the plate in addition to his great pitching.

1915 - Pinstripes first appear on New York Yankees uniforms.

1916 - Philadelphia Athletics pitcher Jack Nabors tops the Boston Red Sox, 6 - 2. His only victory of the season evens his record at 1-1. Nabors will follow with 19 straight losses to set a major-league record.

1937 - Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson are among 18 black players who jump to the Dominican Republic league. Negro League owners regard this as desertion and plan to ban the players from the league. In May, Paige will be banned for life.

1957 - John Kennedy becomes the first black to play for the Philadelphia Phillies, making them the last National League team to integrate. Kennedy pinch runs for Solly Hemus in the 5 - 1 loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. He will play only briefly in five games, two at third base, and will go hitless.

1960 - A record opening day crowd of 53,563 at Briggs Stadium sees the Detroit Tigers chalk up their third straight win, 6 - 5, against the Chicago White Sox. Recently-acquired Rocky Colavito blasts a home run in his first at-bat with Detroit, and Eddie Yost adds a home run in the 5th inning.

2012: The Rangers edge the Tigers, 3 - 2, on a controversial squeeze bunt in the 11th inning. The bases are loaded with no one out when Alberto Gonzalez squares up and lays the ball down right in front of him; it bounces and glances off his right knee, but the umpires miss it and the play is allowed to stand in spite of Detroit manager Jim Leyland's protests. After the game, home plate umpire Tim Welke will admit he missed the call and should have declared the play a foul ball. Thad Weber is charged with the loss in his major league debut as a result.

Inside the Detroit Tigers: Al Alburquerque has been unhittable; offense has fallen flat in clutch.
from Mlive

Who's Hot, who's not,
Analysis: With just a clutch hit here or a double to the gap there, the Tigers could have easily come home from a tough West Coast swing with a 6-3 record. Instead, they went 4-5 and have lost four consecutive games. They cannot seem to get a hit in the clutch. In their past six games, the Tigers are 5-for-52 (.096) with runners in scoring position. Even more shocking is the fact that Miguel Cabrera is the only Tigers player in those six games with an RBI hit with a runner in scoring position in those same six games.

Octavio Dotel still dealing with elbow inflammation.
from JasonBeck'sTigersblog

Because Dotel pitched Friday, the Tigers could only backdate a move to the disabled list by a few days, meaning they?d still have to shelve him for close to two weeks. If Leyland feels they need a full bullpen against the Royals, they might have little choice.

If they did make a DL move, the question of who would replace Dotel could be interesting. Would they promote Bruce Rondon this early in the season for what would almost surely not be a closing role? Would they move their other relievers up and add Luis Marte or Luke Putkonen as a middle reliever? Don?t rule out the possibility of the Tigers signing Jose Valverde to a Major League contract and promoting him, either; if they?ve seen enough of his stuff to believe he can pitch and fill a void for them, it might not matter how much minor league time he has so far.
