Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

July 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912 - Ty Cobb strokes seven hits in a doubleheader to give him a major-league record of 14 in two consecutive twin bills against the Athletics. Bill White will tie Cobb in 1961. Cobb also pummeled the A's for seven hits on the 17th on his way to collecting an incredible 68 hits for the month, a record.

1950: At Fenway Park Vern Stephens crashes a 3-run home run in the 1st off Fred Hutchinson. Detroit wins 9 - 5, with a little help in the 9th from umpire Jim Boyer. Boyer calls time just before pinch-hitter Tom Wright triples to CF. In his do-over, Wright grounds out.

1977: At Yankee Stadium, the National League scores four times in the opening inning off Jim Palmer, en route to a 7 - 5 All-Star Game victory. Don Sutton, hurling three scoreless innings, is named the game's MVP.

1991: Detroit pounds Kansas City 17 - 0, to give Bill Gullickson an easy win over Tom Gordon. It is the worst loss in franchise history for KC, and a reversal of the match-up of July 14th between the same two starters. That day, the Royals routed the Bengals, 18 - 4.

Second half preview: Tigers have power; they need finesse.
from the freep

Here are the two facts that show how dreadful the Tigers have been this season at late-inning wrestling:

No. 1: They have lost 10 games they led in the seventh inning or later. This is not the fault solely of the bullpen. In these 10 games, the Tigers? offense hasn?t given its bullpen any help.

In these 10 losses in the seventh inning or later, the Tigers have scored one run from the seventh inning onward. One run.

The Tigers never have scored in eighth or ninth inning of these 10 come-from-ahead losses. They have never countered a lead-changing late-inning comeback against them with a lead-changing comeback of their own.

No. 2: In extra innings, the Tigers are 3-9. In two of those three wins, they didn?t score until the 14th inning.

From the 10th through 13th inning this season, the Tigers have played a total of 25 innings. They have scored in one of those 25 innings. One inning.
