deduno walking 5.76 hitters per 9 innings. should not be putting up the numbers that he is... which is why his FIP is 5.16. Regression is coming for Deduno, the only question is when.

Same pitcher, same lineup.
A day after getting rained out, Minnesota will trot out Samuel Deduno, Friday's scheduled starter, for its Saturday afternoon contest.
As a result, Tigers manager Jim Leyland will use the same lineup he penciled Friday with Quintin Berry in left field and Andy Dirks in right. Brennan Boesch will ride the pine.
Alexi Casilla, not Jamey Carroll, will start at second for Minnesota -- the only change to the Twins' lineup from Friday.

Scherzer cleared to pitch. He’ll start day game tomorrow. Smyly in nightcap.

Rick Porcello, who was on standby for Sunday in case Scherzer wasn’t ready, now scheduled for Wednesday against KC.

Tigers rotation is set up that way so that Verlander is in line to start G163/Wild Card/G1ALDS, if that opportunity presents itself.

This one's not looking good either.

Rain, with thunderstorms developing around 3pm. The rain should end around late afternoon. Mostly cloudy with temperatures slowly falling to near 56F. Winds W at 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 95%.

Anyone know the status of the game as far as blackout-sellout?

Should be on in Detroit? Not on mlb extra innings and the foxsports game of the week here is la and cincy.
I will need a stream, or that vipbox you have posted, if they have it.

Looks like the rain is pushing just far enough south to get this in. And I mean just a couple of miles is all. Came very close to another long delay.

Well I'm hoping it's shown here, maybe I'm thinking of football blackouts where they don't show the game if they don't sell enough tickets. I just noticed it says "subject to blackout restrictions".

And I'll post a link closer to game time, if there is one but as of right now I don't see any flash-based streams. And I'd be wary of downloading anything to watch them. But here is the links, it's possible they will add the flash links closer to 4pm. http://www.vipboxsports.eu/sports/baseball.html

Mauer with a long 2 out double. Willingham can't get him home. Curious play by Miggy to chase down Mauer rather than throw to first for the out.

 

[kalinecountry]

asshole foxsports is at it again for saturday 1 to 7 games and blockage.
I get the dodgers-reds here in boston.
stream from the vipbox not yet.

 

[spockmaster]

well thats a good start! first pitch homer!

 

[manchild98]

AJ lead off home run!!! First pitch.

 

[tigermud]

Crap last two times that's happened we didn't score anymore after that for 7+ innings.

 

[kalinecountry]

Least I got Gameday, first batter of the game Jackson says in play runs means Homerun!!

Tigers lead 1 - 0,

 

[kalinecountry]

career lead-off HR for Jackson, his 6th during 2012 season.

fox can eat a dick.

Nothing like being patient with this pitcher who walks almost 6 per 9 innings,

If only Delmon would comprehend stuff like that.
