The only Tiger with any at-bats against M’s starter Brandon Maurer is Jose Iglesias, and that consisted of one at-bat before his trade over from Boston. However, there are no discernible trends to his pitching. Hitters have had a good amount of success against him from both sides of the plate, and he has given up a lot of home runs — 14 of them over just 72 2/3 innings.
Expect a short bullpen again, though hopefully we’ll find out more later today or tonight about Bruce Rondon and Jeremy Bonderman. Rondon, in case you missed it, is dealing with elbow tenderness, which is why he hasn’t pitched in two weeks. He’s scheduled to throw a side session today. Bonderman was slated to throw yesterday to see if his thumb is feeling OK to pitch.

Is Fucking Dirks hurt or something? He didnt PH last night and Kelly is starting tonight. Im not a huge fan of Dirks, but hes better than fuckin Kelly.

It's probably just that Donny needs some attention, or else he might think Leyland don't love him no more.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Don Fuckin' Kelly..

 

[kalinecountry]

One of these days Leyland is going to pencil in Donnie at 3rd and LF in the same game.

 

[kalinecountry]

Smyly, Benoit and Rondon won't pitch tonight...."but Bonderman is available."

maybe Donnie Kelly can pitch relief too.....

 

[sggatecl]

On the bright side guys, we could have 4 other batters go 0-4 and we can still blame the loss on Leyland benching Dirks.

 

[manchild98]

AJ steals his 8th base of the year leaving Miggy in a 2-1 count. Miggy walks.

disappointing

 

[kalinecountry]

Dirks would have had that just because......Kelly's out there.

 

[kalinecountry]

Sanchez with 38 pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

What's the over - under on runs the Tigers score of this kid with a near 8.00 ERA to start the game?

The wise ass in me says 1,

low strike to Omar,

 

[kalinecountry]

Kelly since the break. .202 .293 .262 .555 but bat him 6th.

 

[kalinecountry]

"Cy" maurer with 40 pitches and allowed 1 friggin hit.

 

[kalinecountry]

4 strike at bat now for gutierrez, grounder to Iggy,

51 pitches for Sanchez.

 

[kalinecountry]

wtf are you swinging at Jackson?

et tu Hunter? f'n hacking fools,

 

[manchild98]

Stop chasing that fuckin' pitch!!!

 

[kalinecountry]

That's gone if Miggy's healthy,

 

[sggatecl]

No, I don't want a Craig Monroe signed baseball you twit.

 

[sggatecl]

That's gone if Miggy's healthy,

Can't help but agree with you. That's a real bad sign.
