Tigers vs. yankees Game Thread April 27

Lineup I'll give you.

Bullpen script is Dotel/coke 7th, Benoit 8th, and Valverde 9th in save situations. 99 times out of 100 you take that if the situation presents it.

Nothing was wrong with the bullpen management, it just does not always work out.

JB has pitched in 8.1 innings and walked 8 and gave up 10 hits...Not sure if the yahho stats include tonight game.. I don't care he is struggling...

 

[gotime909]

he is starting Monday I think..

Yup, just read it on their website. So, once again wishy washy Leyland changes his mind. After that 6 inning relief outing he said NO WAY to Below moving to the rotation when asked after the game.

]JB has pitched in 8.1 innings and walked 8 and gave up 10 hits...Not sure if the yahoo stats include tonight game.. I don't care he is struggling... And Kelly did not help him tonight. But he has to start keeping runners off the bases..

You have to think at one point one of the players are going to step up like last year and go on a rant in the clubhouse to light a fire under these guys' asses.

 

[biggunsbob]

I have Verlander, Strasburg, Lincecum,and Santana as my fantasy starters... LOL....

I hope so...They need to stop smiling and take care of business.

Actually it's 9.1 innings. but he also has 16 K's to go with them.

Could Victor travel with the team and serve as the designated clubhouse motivator?

You watch these post game interviews and some of the guys all just seem like they have this subdued abandoned all hope persona thing going on.

I noticed that also, you still see cabby and prince all smiles late in the game after blowing a lead. That is kind of annoying..

I know how he feels, don't get down on a loss and move on to the next game, but the whole team needs to start taking this serious.

I think signing Johnny Damon would do wonders for this team, bring in a veteran presence who has been around these players already.

 

[gotime909]

Other than bringing in Coke for one batter, I really didn't have a problem with bullpen order. Gotta play the hand you're dealt. Dotel looked sharp and I thought he should have finished the inning.

The lineup, however, that's a different story. Time for an overhaul.

I'd say,

Jackson
Peralta-might get him going
Cabby
Fielder
Boesch
Eldred-break up 3 lefties in the lineup
Avila
Kelly/Dirks
Raburn/Santiago

Damon signed with the Indians 2 weeks ago.

Damon signed with the Indians 2 weeks ago.

Wasn't he released shortly after though?

I'd go for that and stop giving Peralta days off in the middle of hot streaks! He was hitting ok until he got a day off or two.

its a minor league contract. if he isnt called up by May 1 he automatically gets released.

You want them to be like Kevin Youklis and beat the crap out of equipment.

I'm more concerned with execution rather than window dressing.

Johnny Damon? Seriously? A guy that can't play the field and can't get his OPS over .750 anymore. The Tigers need a win before fans go full retard.
