Tigers Game 2 Preview. Tigers turn to Verlander looking for twin-bill split.
from the Tigers official site

rangers lineup for Game 2 hitting a combined .202 vs. Verlander.
Verlander is 5-1 with a 1.72 ERA in his past seven regular-season starts against Texas, but the Rangers were one of the five teams to hand him a loss last year with a 2-0 defeat April 11 at Comerica.

rangers still have edge on Tigers in speed, defense, lineup depth and overall athleticism, just as they did in 2011 ALCS.

Leyland over resting Peralta just like last season. Santiago, Kelly, and Inge at the bottom of the line up provides too many easy outs. Happy raburn is sitting, but Santiago should be playing second with Peralta at ss for this game. Inge showed today that he is not defensively or offensively capable of playing second base on an MLB roster.

Inge getting to play both games pisses me off.

I swear he has some incriminating pictures of DD or Leyland somewhere.

 

[tigermud]

Because he didn't f'up enough in game 1? wow Jimmy, just wow..Starting inge in both games of a Double Header should be considered a crime.

 

[spockmaster]

...as if didnt fuck up enough in the first game, he gets the 2nd. wtf.

 

[spockmaster]

fun story, Jamey Carroll has a .355 OBP in minny right now with good defense. i still wish we'd signed him, hes not great but hes doin better than anyone we've tried.

What are the total BA at 2B with Inge, Kburn and Santiago? Has to be pretty piss poor.

 

[jas5lf]

Is this game televised? Can't find it on Directv.

 

[biggunsbob]

OMG not freaking INGE again..

 

[byco42]

Maybe Feliz will earhole Inge and that will settle things.

Is this game televised? Can't find it on Directv.

Looks like Detroit stations only, mlb extra innings doesn't seem to have it despite 2 or 3 open channels with no other games slated for 8/9/10PM.
I can get the mlb audio with that Tigers official fan club with Dickerson.
Maybe Direct tv is same set up? idk.

 

[jas5lf]

Thanks KC. I can get the feed via the MLB Game mix channel, on a very small window.

 

[tazmac]

I am watching it on slipstreamtv.com It is a channel from Japan but they do have American announcers.
Plus, NO COMMERCIALS!!!

Andrus was picked off. Don't run on Verlander Texas scum. 2 k's as well. 0-0, B1.

 

[Mitchrapp]

1 2 3 for Detroit.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander's pick-off in 1st inning was the 21st of his career. He is fourth in Tigers history since since stat began being tracked in 1974.

 

[kalinecountry]

f'n cringe with another muff at second base.
