August 14 in Tigers history:

1929: It is Charlie Gehringer Day in Detroit, and the popular 2B handles 10 chances in the field, hits three singles and a home run, and steals home in a 17 - 13 win over the Yankees.

1934: The largest weekday crowd in history watches as the Tigers sweep a pair at Yankee Stadium by scores of 9 to 5 and 7 to 3. It is the Tigers' 14th straight; Schoolboy Rowe has won 13 in succession on his way to 16 straight. 2B Charlie Gehringer is the hitting star of the day with 6 rbi in the twin bill. The next day the Yankees will end the Tiger streak.

1935: Schoolboy Rowe beats the Senators 18 - 2 and also goes 5 for 5 at the plate. His hits include a double and a triple, and he scores three and knocks in 3.

1948 - Rookie George Vico drives in seven runs to pace the Tigers to a 10 - 3 win over the Browns. Vico is one better than a cycle, collecting two doubles, a triple and homer to back Virgil Trucks' sparkling one-hit relief effort over 6+ innings.

1952 - The St. Louis Browns send Ned Garver to the Tigers for slugger Vic Wertz in a deal involving six other players.

1988 - Detroit pounds Boston 18 - 6 at Fenway Park to end the Red Sox' American League-record home winning streak at 24 games, two shy of the major-league record held by the 1916 Giants. Roger Clemens gives up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings as the temperature hits 97 degrees. SS Alan Trammell, C Matt Nokes, and 1B Dave Bergman each knock in 2 runs, but RF Chet Lemon and DH Darrell Evans each have 5 rbi.

2000 - The Tigers score eight runs in the 5th inning and go on to defeat the Mariners 15 - 4.

Brennan Boesch's struggles at plate might force Detroit Tigers to look for other options.
from Mlive

Boesch has never been a patient hitter, but he had a lot of success swinging at the first pitch as a rookie in 2010. He hit .365 (35-for-96) when he put the first pitch in play that season and had an impressive .957 OPS in those situations. But those numbers fell to .211 (12-for-57) and .540 last season.

They have fallen even further this year. Boesch is hitting .170 (9-for-53) with a .464 OPS when he puts the first pitch in play during the 2012 season. Pitchers seem to have made the necessary adjustments.

How do some players maintain such high BAbips?
from HighHeatStats

Some players seem to be able to maintain really high BAbips (batting average on balls in play.) It?s one thing for a guy like Ichiro to do it?he has a .347 career BAbip, which is really high, but not so much higher than his career BA of .322.
Here are active players (minimum 2000 plate appearances) with BAbips at least 20% higher than their batting averages, minimum .296 BAbip, which is league average for 2012 only.


For 1,500 PAs, Austin Jackson is the active BAbip king (.375, 2nd all-time to Ty Cobb), and his BAbip is 33% above his BA.
