Game Notes

http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2016/04/detroit_tigers_gameday_justin_77.html

--The Tigers have lost five of their past six games and are in fourth place in the American League Central, five games behind the first-place White Sox.

-As a team, the Tigers are hitting .208 in their past seven games. That's dead last in the American League.

Brad shuffles the line up a little bit for tonight, Upton to 5 hole, JD to the two spot. Still not ideal IMO, Upton needs to be 7th or 8th, tonight's line is dumb, iggy at 7, wtf brad, get a clue., Iggy, Kinlser, Miggy, JD, Victor, Nick, Salty, Upton, Goose. C'Mon brad it doesn't have to be this complicated.

Collins has been sent back to Teldeo, urealible closer back from personal issues.

On a positive note they made him throw 25 pitches to JV's 10!

JV worries too much about runners on first. Alonso wasn't going anywhere and he just fucked around playing peek a boo with him and ends up giving up a hit to the #9 hitter.
 
Why is Verhagen in? Are we trying to let them back in it? I'm assuming everyone is available tonight.
 
Upton is now hitting under .200 he belongs in the 8 spot IMO

3 more k's tonight. 5th time this season with 3 k's in a game. 11 games this season with 2 or more k's. He's k'd in every game this season except one and he had 1 at bat that game.
 
.500 team returns to .500
Brad will stick with upton in the five spot now for far too long before eventually moving him to 7/8 where he belongs.
I can't believe the white Soxs are 16-6
Day game tommorow weather forecast absolutly shitty, cold, cloudy, cold rain , too cold for baseball

Man hopefully warmer weather will help him but man he is really struggling.
