Niko Goodrum will start at second base Wednesday, giving Dixon Machado his first day off of the 2018 season.

The rest of the lineup is back to normal as the Tigers try to win their first game against the Cleveland Indians, who lead the four-game series 2-0.

Tigers pitching coach Chris Bosio will miss a second game today with unspecified illness per HIPAA Laws. Ron Gardenhire said situation is same as yesterday and he'll let us know if there are any more details to share.

AL starting rotation ERA:
1. Red Sox, 1.68
2. Astros 1.93
3. Twins 2.74
4. Tigers 2.93

Forecast shows low-to-mid 50s for tonight?s game time in Cleveland.
Would snap Tigers 10-game streak of sub-45 degrees.

oh boy...out ace is going

Better score 6 runs if they want to be in this game

It would be really nice if Miggy could even be worth 50% of his contract. Leadoff double from Martin is wasted

 

[tigermud]

Ouch

 

[gotime909]

Holy fuck! Zim takes a rocket from Kipnis to the face. He might be the toughest son of a bitch I've ever seen to get up after that and walk off the field.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Miggy, imo, just doesn't have the drive anymore for those opposite field HR or doubles. Maybe it's his hip flexor or all his other injuries. I thought coming in he might be a 20 HR hitter now but I don't see that any more..

 

[Mitchrapp]

I heard Zimmerman took one to the face. How bad was it?

Edit: NVM, I saw the above post.

 

[tigermud]

This offense is very boring and the funny thing is the current .aves in the Cleveland lineup actually look worse than ours! Yet they have a lot more HR’s than wez as a team

I think there is a good chance the tigers will conclude this four game series tommorrow with 1 total run for the entire series

I know it was mentioned yesterday but I don't think it's the cold.. we were scoring early 4 times at least 6 runs. Just too many weak hitters..

 

[tigermud]

Da da de Dant de da charge!

It is not exceesivly cold tonight so you might be right, maybe this al Millen assembled shit show is just simply what we thought it was

This.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I know its rebuild but Avila's off season just sucked.. He could have gotten some decent talent that wasn't too expensive. He went to the bargain bin.

Do you think Al knows the bargin bin gets ya the bargin basement and no overly good reason to attend any games. I'll bet he doesn't

Yup looks to be ok, on his way to hospital for X-rays under himself own power, must have steel in that jaw

 

[tigermud]
