J.D. Martinez returns to the Tigers lineup for the first time since Tuesday and just his second start since Sunday. Rajai Davis is the odd man out in the Tigers outfield as a result. Other than that, it’s a pretty standard lineup against Tyler Skaggs, a pitcher the Tigers haven’t faced before.

Could be a tough night for Drew. The Angels kill lefties. Might need the bats again tonight.
 
Agreed. Last night's win was good to get. The odds don't favor us in this game I'm afraid.

Let's win it anyway! :)

mlb extra innings had the phillies - d-backs game on. just finished.
Bastardo gave up a grand slam to a right handed batter oliver perez looked shaky too.
don't want either of them.


this channel should be switching to Tigers game now. Yes, just in time to see Alice strikeout.

skaggs throws about 30 pitches this inning and the Tigers don't score?!?

If we got him it would be to face lefty's I'd assume. Maybe some full innings when the other guys need a rest. He's been pretty damn good against RHB's though. That's his first homer given up to a righty since 2012.
 
Alex is just a k machine at the plate these days 17 more k's than anyone else on the team

249 AB's
97k's

Leads team in walks though with 38
 
That was a nice ground-rule double by JD Martinez in the last half-inning. I'm not sure why Hamilton didn't just catch it though.

I was wondering that also, it didn't look like it was that far away from him did it

The way the tampa rays are playing I don't think they will have any kind of sale.
McGee would be a nice lefty in the pen,
iirc today or yesterday mcbtb Motor City Tigers blog that is mentioned a lefty with the Marlins Mike Dunn?

Alex Avila vs. Left this season 72 ABs
3 BB 30 SO .260 OBP / .292 SLG / .551 OPS

Holaday vs. Left this season 47 ABs
3 BB 11 SO .286 OBP / .328 SLG / .614 OPS

Neither choice is all that appealing. I was going to get upset for Ausmus not starting Holaday until I looked at the numbers. Avila's defense I think makes up the difference in offense.
 
Should not be trying to steal with 1 out and miggy on deck tigers, c'mon now brad it's just common sense

I saw that too. I'm not really sold on needing a lefty though. Smyly will be in the pen in the post season so I really don't see the need.
 
We were bitten by baserunning problems again. To Skaggs' credit, that was an excellent pickoff throw.
