excellent read from Tigerdog1.

Does Leyland/DD pull the plug on this, or does he continue to ruin the season with more blown saves from a guy that can't close anymore and not admit it isn't working?

A Plea To Tigers Brass: End The Jose Valverde Experiment.
from WalkoffWoodwardTigersblog

In his thirteenth outing, he was completely bombed by the Orioles, and since then we have seen something much closer to the real Jose Valverde. His ERA, which has since ballooned to 4.15 including today?s disaster, is still outperforming his FIP, which now stands at 5.89. The man who had given up 5, 5, and 3 home runs in his three previous seasons as a Tiger has now given up 5 in 17.1 innings in 2013, continuing the alarming trend that began to emerge during the last postseason.

June 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912 - Christy Mathewson reaches his 300th career victory as the New York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 3 - 2. During his 17-year major league career, Mathewson will compile a 373-188 record.

1921 - Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees hits a 460-foot home run into the center field bleachers in the Polo Grounds, for the first home run ever hit to that spot. Ruth adds his 21st home run of the season and also pitches five innings in the 13 - 6 win over the Detroit Tigers, giving up four runs, but striking out Ty Cobb.

1948 - An ailing Babe Ruth makes his final appearance at Yankee Stadium. With the crowd of 49,641 singing Auld Lang Syne, and members of the 1923 Yankees team (the first to play in the stadium) looking on, the New York Yankees retire Ruth's uniform number 3 during ceremonies that also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Stadium. Fewer than two months later, the 53-year-old Ruth will die from throat cancer.

Valverde Spoils a Verlander Gem.
espn

Valverde has thrown 20 splitters in his last six games and allowed four homers among those 20 pitches. He allowed zero homers on the 21 splitters he threw in his first 12 appearances of the season.

This is the fifth time in his career that Justin Verlander has pitched at least seven scoreless innings and got a no-decision. No other Tigers pitcher in the Live Ball era (since 1920) has more than two such career games.

Verlander now has three losses in quality starts this season, already more than the two he had all last year.
