Nick Castellanos gets the day off for Tuesday?s series opener. He?s 1-for-16 with six strikeouts against James Shields.
Andrew Romine is 1-for-8 with two strikeouts off Shields, but with lefties Chris Sale and Jose Quintana coming up Wednesday and Thursday, Romine?s best fit for a spot start was tonight.
The White Sox swapped outfielders on their roster, calling up just-acquired Charlie Tilson to take the place of just-optioned J.B. Shuck. Tilson, acquired from the Cardinals for Zach Duke, makes his Major League debut, batting eighth and starting in center field. He was batting .282 at Memphis with 16 doubles, eight triples, four homers and 34 RBIs.

The Tigers come in having swept the previous two series. That hot streak, of course, only dates back to the last time they faced the White Sox, when they suffered two bottom-of-the-ninth losses in one day in Chicago. The Tigers have won eight of their last 10 home series, and 24 of their last 34 home games. The Tigers haven?t, however, won a game started by Anibal Sanchez since April 28, and are 3-13 overall when he starts. James Shields, on the other hand, has pitched to a 1.71 ERA in his six starts since June 29, but gone just 3-3.

Andrew Romine is 1-for-8 with two strikeouts off Shields, but with lefties Chris Sale and Jose Quintana coming up Wednesday and Thursday, Romine’s best fit for a spot start was tonight.

With that logic, why isn't Salty starting tonight? McCann sucks at righties and probably isn't sitting with two lefties.

 

[Rebbiv]

FYI...in the last 26.3 IP Sanchez has had as a starter, DET has only scored 1 run while Sanchez was on the mound. This isn't justifying how poorly he has pitched, just that it probably didn't matter who was on the mound in those starts.

Brad logic, isn't it just swell.. :ugh:

I suppose he got it at Dartmouth.

 

[kalinecountry]

I get my hopes back up some, and then they (Ausmus) do stupid shit like this with their comments.

 

[Rebbiv]

Upton with warning track power. He didn't have his bowl of Wheaties this morning.

 

[Rebbiv]

Collins was safe. Replay review gets it wrong.

 

[Rebbiv]

DET working on 30 innings of scoring just 1 run with Sanchez starting. I imagine he is difficult to pitch inning after inning without your team scoring you some runs.

Shields shutting us down dang it all

Come on Tigers start hitting .

 

[jas5lf]

Remind me again why we can't beat Cleveland while the Twins are beating the shit out of them? I hope Cleveland collapses.

 

[lonesometiger]

Lettuce with the Triple and Iglesias with the sac tied.

 

[lonesometiger]

Maybin Triples Tigers lead

 

[Rebbiv]

Remind me again why we can't beat Cleveland while the Twins are beating the shit out of them? I hope Cleveland collapses.

Because they can put 6-7 Lefthanded hitters in the lineup against their Righthanded dominant starting staff. and we generally only put Victor out there.

 

[jas5lf]

Ouch....Tilson tore something up. Poor kid.

 

[Rebbiv]

Finally Sanchez with some run support.

 

[lonesometiger]

Cabrera doubles 3-1 Tigers

 

[jas5lf]

Because they can put 6-7 Lefthanded hitters in the lineup against their Righthanded dominant starting staff. and we generally only put Victor out there.

I guess we need to hope everyone else can beat Cleveland for us. Seriously, the Tigers need to find a way to win 4 or 5 of the 6 remaining with the Tribe.

 

[lonesometiger]

I wanted that 4th run now a 5th would be sweet.
