Game 2013/35: Indians at Tigers

Found May 11, 2013 on Tigers Weblog:
PLAYERS: Al Alburquerque,  Quintin Berry,  Jordan Lennerton
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers
20-14, 1st place, 1.5 games up on Royals/Indians. ********* Get Al Alburquerque out of Detroit. At least for a while. Please. This has gone on long enough. Game 34 was Tigers 6, Indians 4, Tigers Bullpen -3.* The bullpen pooped the bed yet again. What is that – 10 times this season already? Take away the walk-offs – it happens – and it’s still 7 times. (I think. I’ll check it out.) Rather a lot for a team with 14 losses. * I’m conveniently leaving the Indians pen out of it. ********* Danny Worth has been out with a heel contusion for a while, but is close to rejoining the Mud Hens. This is good. We’d all like to see him raise that batting average down there. Along with Quintin Berry. Makes you wonder what’s happened to them. Devastated by not making the big club out of camp? The International League is a pitcher’s league, true, but the numbers on these guys… yikes. Up and down the Toledo roster, the batting numbers are pretty frightening. Only 1B Jordan Lennerton has put up anything halfway decent. *********

Via USA Sports 360  |  May 12, 2013
He is one of the American Leagues most dominant pitchers. Yet, Justin Verlander can’t control the bats in the Cleveland Indians line-up.

Tigers Prince Fielder gets Beaned in the Private Parts During Game (Video)

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  May 12, 2013
    Ouch. No hitter ever wants to get beaned on any part of their body by a pitch travelling upwards of 80 mph, especially in the region where the family jewels are located. During a baseball game Saturday night between the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians, slugger Prince Fielder’s jewels were put in harms way when he got hit in that area by a Joe Smith 81 mph breaking ball...

Verlander erratic early in loss to Indians

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  May 11, 2013
DETROIT -- Yes, Tigers fans, that was really Justin Verlander on the mound Saturday night. He may have looked like Jamie Moyer or late-career Frank Tanana, but it was the Tigers ace trying to survive a game without his legendary fastball. It didn't go well. Verlander did strike out seven batters in his five innings mostly with his changeup and curveball but the lack of a...

Jose Valverde had been 3-for-3 on save opportunities with five scoreless innings since rejoining the Detroit Tigers.

Is Verlander's Velocity Reason for Concern?

Via tigers.scout.com  |  May 12, 2013
Despite the loss on Saturday, Justin Verlander is off to arguably the best start of his career, with an ERA under two, an FIP just barely over two, while striking out ten batters per nine innings. Despite those results, much has been made about Justin Verlander’s velocity dip so far this season. As a potential leading indicator of injury or declined performance, should Tigers fans be worried?
