Doug Fister since All Star break- 6-2, 2.75. Only 1 R allowed in last start. Tigers- Only 6 runs total last 4 gms. TigersLive 7:30 on FSD.

Pretty standard lineup tonight against Jake Peavy. None of these guys particularly beat him up. Miguel Cabrera is 12-for-42 off him, with two home runs and eight RBIs, but with more strikeouts (14) than hits.
A couple notes to mention on Peavy: Opponents are 8-for-15 stealing bases on him this year, way down from the 78 percent rate he has allowed for his career, despite A.J. Pierzynski as his catcher most days. Second, Quintin Berry has faced him once, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch against him on July 20. He did reach base on a hit-by-pitch.
No Adam Dunn for the White Sox again.
from Jason Beck's Tigers blog


The Chicago White Sox haven't held a four-game lead over their closest challenger in the AL Central at any point this year.
That could change tonight.
The Tigers are now three games behind the division-leading White Sox following Monday's 6-1 loss -- their fourth straight.
Another defeat and the Tigers could fall four back with just 21 games remaining.
Can right-hander Doug Fister help stop Detroit's tailspin?
Fister hasn't found much success against the White Sox in the past, but he's coming off a seven-inning gem, allowing only one run and four hits in last Wednesday's 7-1 win over Cleveland. In five career starts against Chicago, Fister is 0-2 with a 3.52 ERA.
The White Sox will counter with right-hander Jake Peavy, who is 0-2 with a 6.92 ERA in his two starts against the Tigers since the All-Star break.
With a right-hander on the mound, Tigers manager Jim Leyland has stacked his lineup with left-handed hitters, including Andy Dirks and Brennan Boesch, who will play in the outfield corners and bat second and sixth, respectively.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura will trot out the same lineup and order he used Monday night with DeWayne Wise batting third and Dayan Viciedo batting seventh as the club's DH. Adam Dunn will miss his fifth straight game with a strained right oblique.

Boesch will play last three games of WhiteSox series.

Raburn might not play again this series. Leyland not sure he is healthy.

Leyland said Raburn will not start tomorrow against Gavin Floyd despite past numbers.
"He still looks sluggish," Leyland said, citing quad.

Tigers clubhouse has an upbeat vibe today. Much different than last night.
 
Make or break 3 games. Gotta go at least 2-1 but I feel 3-0 has to be done. Anything is possible in baseball... Need Fister, Scherzer and Verlander to just carry this team.

I'm optimistic. I think we take this one tonight. One game at a time.
 
On the subject of runs. In the Tigers last 10 loses. In 9 of them they have scored 2 or less in them. Shoot they are not making the other team work for there wins! More than a fire needs to be lite in/under someone!
 
Everyone ready for another lack luster offensive display of futility? The good news is you only have to watch this wretchedness 22 more times!
 
We have 57 games this year where we scored 3 runs or less. That's 40.71% of our games.
 
Anyone else see this from the Tigers splits vs. peavy?

Ryan Raburn's one, lone home run this year? Off Jake Peavy. In fact, his only two hits ever vs. Peavy are HRs. 2 for 9 Slugging .889 w/ 1.089 OPS.
Because of the shitstorm from mondays lineup, maybe Leyland said pass?

I've come to now also believe that Leyland will in fact retire at years end, all the signs are there.
 
4 guys in the lineup batting over .300 yet scoring more than 2 runs is a major challenge.
 
Boesch and Young have to do something here if we want to win.

Facing a righty in a Chinese-takeout carton of a park, these guys need to step up, if they ever have a chance at hitting some long balls the rest of the season, this is the best time.

These two ass-clowns are supposed to power hitting, run producers. Time to make up for letting your team down guys. Nut Up or GTFO.

Key bat to get out tonight, Rios is hitting .636 off Fister career, pitch around Rios.

Might as well throw Peralta's name in their too.
