Tigers/Twins Opening Day

[@Stakesarehigh]

Predictable lineup other than Davis over Gose


1. Davis CF
2. Kinsler 2B
3. Cabrera 1b
4. Martinez DH
5. J. Martinez RF
6. Cespedes LF
7. Castellanos 3B
8. Avila C
9. Iglesias SS

Price on the mound.

crazy to lead Davis or Gose off vs RHP. I'd put Avila there over those two

 

[grandy]

My guess as to why Davis is starting

Hughes splits from last year

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=hugheph01&year=2012&t=p#plato

.928 OPS vs RH
.610 OPS vs LH

good point, i was thinking more about a generich RHP matchup

 

[spockmaster]

Hughe's reverse splits are exactly the reason Ausmus gave. We'll see which wins, that or Davis' ineptitude vs RHP.

[spockmaster]

Im so lucky that I get to start work at 1 today.

 

[SpartyNash]

With opening day and The Masters this week, it is about to be a pretty unproductive work week

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

I feel like the Tigers either kill Hughes or he throws a gem. No in between

 

[Rebbiv]

FYI...today's game is the "free" game at MLB.TV

 

[biggunsbob]

Go tigers!!!!!!

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Price 1 2 3 inning. Nicely done

 

[tinselwolverine]

FYI...today's game is the "free" game at MLB.TV

It's also free on MLB Extra Innings on television. They're all free for about the first week. Well, free above the cost of cable and a cable box.

I haven't decided if I'm going to pay for the subscription this season, I'm a little more pessimistic about this season than I've been.

I'm curious..why not play Gose? Isn't the reason we got him so we can play him against RHP.

Some of us are at work, so MLB.TV is more doable. I have dual monitors, so I can have the game on one and work on the other. And I always have a subscription to MLB.TV so I can stream it out at camp (no cable or satellite TV). I use my phone (unlimited data) and output to HDMI TV.

JD!

 

[Rebbiv]

It's gone

 

[manchild98]

JD homers!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Look at that, no fluke for JD. Nice.

 

[gotime909]
