There's Still Hope For The Tigers.

Impatience at the plate
Here’s a stat: 20 of 35 Tigers saw three pitches or less during their at-bats on Monday afternoon. And 14 of 35 saw two pitches or less. That’s disgustingly impatient.

Conversely, there were nine Tigers at-bats in which they saw six pitches or more. They reached base in 5-of-9 of those at-bats (Fielder two singles, Jackson walk, Hunter walk, Avila walk).

Cuba natives Iglesias, Cespedes 'really good friends'.
DETROIT -- More than 1,600 miles away from their childhood baseball diamonds, Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias and Athletics left fielder Yoenis Cespedes are facing off in the American League Division Series.

The two Cuba natives have been seen joking around with each other throughout the series, whether it's Iglesias tapping at Cespedes' legs when he begins to take a lead from second base or Cespedes giving a playful slap at Iglesias afterwards.

"Yoenis Cespedes, I know him from Cuba, obviously," Iglesias said. "But, yeah, we're really good friends."

Cespedes first learned about Iglesias through watching him on television and seeing Iglesias dazzle for the junior national team. Now both are shining in the spotlight on baseball's biggest stage.

Leyland OK with added scrutiny in postseason.
DETROIT -- More people paying more attention. More, much more, on the line. A big difference between the regular season and the postseason, Jim Leyland said Tuesday, is that everybody has an opinion on lineup changes, how the pitching should be handled and in-game strategy.

All legitimate, the Tigers' manager added. But even though he conceded that 21-game winner Max Scherzer was an option out of the bullpen in must-win Game 4 of the American League Division Series, for the most part, Leyland doesn't believe in doing things differently in October.

"This is a time of year where it's really interesting, because everybody comes up with all these different scenarios. 'Maybe you could try this? Did you think of this and that?'" he said.

"It's interesting, but we are what we are. This is the way we play the game. This is who we are. There are no tricks. We've got [Austin] Jackson leading off and [Torii] Hunter and [Miguel] Cabrera and [Prince] Fielder and [Victor] Martinez and [Jhonny] Peralta and [Alex] Avila, [Omar] Infante. That's who our guys are. There's nothing to try to pull out of the hat, nothing different, at this time of year. There are not a lot of secrets in this."

Those comments came in the wake of Monday night's National League DS game in which Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez didn't use closer Craig Kimbrel to try for a two-inning save against the Dodgers. Instead, setup man David Carpenter allowed a two-run homer to Juan Uribe and Atlanta was eliminated.

"I've got my own problems, [but] I thought Fredi Gonzalez did it exactly right," Leyland said."Some people can disagree with that. ... That's fine. That's what this postseason is all about, different ideas and different thoughts."

Pregame 4;
Hunter's shoulder good enough for Game 4 action.
DETROIT -- There was little doubt that Torii Hunter would be in the Tigers' lineup for Game 4 of their American League Division Series against the A's on Tuesday, despite the bruised shoulder he suffered on a diving attempt at a catch of Coco Crisp's fly ball in the first inning of Game 3. The only question would be how healthy he'd be.

Judging by his swings in batting practice, he's playable.

"It was kind of numb for a little bit," manager Jim Leyland said about Hunter's shoulder, referring to the innings he played in Game 3, "but he's OK."

Even if it isn't OK, he'd still be playing. However, he seems to have his swing set.

X-rays taken Monday came back negative for any structural damage, so he was back in his usual second spot in the starting lineup, playing in right field.
