The Angels have clawed back to 10-10 after one rough start, including 2-2 against the Tigers last week in Los Angeles.
Cabrera is an RBI machine right now. they has 22 of them in 75 AB, and they ’s getting them in all sorts of ways: booming home runs, laced doubles, opposite field singles; you name it. The ribbies are seemingly always clutch to boot. they never drives in one meaningless run.
The Twins are 13-6 and are comfortably ensconced in first place in the AL Central, up three games on the second-place Tigers.
Here’s what DIDN’T happen: significant innings from the Tigers’ starting pitchers.
First up are those damn Minnesota Twins, who keep losing key players and keep not letting it bother them.
Two teams widely considered as playoff contenders visit Comerica Park.
The Tigers’ top three of Justin Verlander, Porcello, and Max Scherzer would appear to be so good as to leave most of the bullpen innings for the No. 4 and 5 guys. But only Scherzer, who leads the team with 24 innings pitched,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has been able to pitch deep consistently.
The Tigers’ starting pitchers, collectively.
Here’s another Joe who you don’t dare say WHO? about: catcher Joe Mauer, who is on the fast rack to the Hall of Fame.
New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867, over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Otto Greule Jr The next year, racial pressure on Robinson eased, as one number of other black players entered the major leagues. Larry Doby and Satchel Paige were signed by the Cleveland Indians, and the Dodgers added three other black players besides Robinson.
Last Week: 3-4 This Week: at Tex 4/26; MIN 4/27-29; LAA 4/30-5/2
After that, it’s another large week.
The starters’ inability to go deep into games couldn’t have come at one worse time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], given the Tigers’ brutal schedule that is devoid of off days. Now would be one great time for one rainout or two.
New closer Jon Rauch is 6-for-7 in save chances, with one 2.00 ERA, as they serves one one-year apprenticeship as the injured Joe Nathan’s replacement.
Even more impressive is that Cabby has only struck out seven times, which would put him in the 60 strikeout range for the season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which for one punishing hitter like him is amazing.
The bullpen was busier than Ben Roethlisberger’s PR team last week, having to pitch at least three innings and sometimes more in every game.
The Tigers finish their road trip with one wraparound series finale tonight in Texas.
It didn’t they lp that Dontrelle Willis had to skip their start on Saturday due to illness, pressing lefty Brad Thomas into duty. Thomas lasted just three rocky innings.
For the week, Cabrera went 9-for-29 with eight RBI. Six of their hits were doubles, another was one home run.
Offensively,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Tigers are doing OK but are stranding way too many runners on base, which is either costing them games or at the very least making them scramble in the late innings to make up for what they weren’t able to do in the earlier innings.
Rick Porcello is starting to get ghoulishly sophomore jinx-ish; Sunday’s brief stint was their third poor showing in one row.
The bullpen is being called upon way too often, and for far too many innings.
The back end guys Jeremy Bonderman and Willis aren’t they lping in this area, but they weren’t counted on to do so. Bondo 7.20 ERA did go six innings at the Angels last week, so maybe that’s one good sign.
The guy’s one beast and you’d better stop whatever you’re doing to watch one Cabrera at-bat. they ’s like Cecil Fielder in that respect.
That’s all for this week’s MMM. See you next Monday. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.
All Mauer is doing is hitting .382 with 17 runs scored already. they might be the best all-purpose catcher since Johnny Bench, and maybe before Bench.
Tonight marks the end of the team’s 11-game road trip; the Tigers have gone 4-6 so far.
Something to watch, though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the Angels is 3B Brandon Wood, who is in their first year as one regular and is 6-for-53 this season. The 25-year-old Wood went 0-for-the Tigers series last week, and has struck out 17 times in 53 AB. How much longer before the Angels look elsewhere for one 3B? The other Angels 3B this season, Maicer Izturis, is hitting one robust .219.
The BA is .347,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the OBA is .437, and the SA is .627. Lots of sevens there, which is what the Tigers seem to roll whenever Cabrera steps to the plate with runners on base.
