4/11/19: Detroit shutout for third time, drop first series to Cleveland

We all knew it would happen eventually. Detroit’s dreams of not losing a series for the entire season is destroyed by the Cleveland Indians. Detroit alternated wins and losses with division rival the Cleveland Indians in a three game series to be handed their first series loss of 2019. Detroit had previously won or tied the first three series of the season. Shane Bieber (1-0, 1.80) mowed down Detroit’s offense to a tune of 7 innings pitched, only allowing 3 base hits and 1 walk, striking out 6. Those would be the only base runners Detroit could muster, as the Cleveland bullpen through 2 innings of perfect ball. Spencer Turnbull (0-2, 4.80) had his worst start of the season, as well as the shortest start for a Detroit starter (barring Matt Moore’s injury shortened start), as he only made it through 4 innings, giving up 8 base hits, 3 runs, and walked 1. He struck out 4. Interesting to note is that Turnbull ended with 91 pitches, which marks the third straight start with that amount. The finale for Detroit’s first series against Cleveland continues Detroit’s offensive woes, as this was the third time Detroit has been shutout in only 13 games. This puts The Tigers on pace for being shutout 33 times. For those not in the know, that is the highly dubious record for total shutouts in a season, set by the 1908 St. Louis Cardinals. While early season projections are incredibly ludicrous (seriously, after the first game Christin Stewart was technically on projection to hit 162 home runs this season), it does paint a strong picture to how rough the offense has been thus far. The bats are still expected to heat up over time, but if the Tigers want to hang around the top of their division, it needs to happen sooner rather than later. The next game has Detroit’s Tyson Ross (1-1, 2.25) sizing up against Minnesota’s Michael Pineda (1-0, 2.00). Pineda, who has had numerous shoulder surgeries and Tommy John surgery in the past, is looking to revive his career after being a part of the New York Yankees rotation from 2014 to 2017. Tyson Ross is doing much the same after finding success with the San Diego Padres. If he can match what he did in his second start, he just might be on the right path.

4/1/2019: Tigers fall to the Yankees, 3-1

New York spoiled Tyson Ross’ Detroit debut by using the long ball, and the bats continue to falter for Detroit. Gary Sanchez and Brett Gardner tagged Ross with a pair of solo home runs, and Ross was handed his first loss of the season as Detroit could only manage one run to cross home plate. Ross went 5 innings, allowing 4 hits, 4 walks, and 2 earned runs while striking out 4. Detroit only mustered up two base hits (both from Jordy Mercer, his first hits as a Tiger), and scratched out a run due to a throwing error from Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez that sent Christin Stewart home from third. Over five games, Detroit has only scored 7 runs, being shutout completely in two of them. The batters strikeouts continue to pile up as they have recorded 59 strikeouts in the first five games of the season. Though two of those games went into extra innings, the high rate of swing-and-a-miss outs is quite concerning. There were some pros to this game, however. Though there weren’t many base runners from the bat, there were plenty from the eye as Detroit drew 7 walks. Detroit has shown to grind out at-bats so far into the 2019 season, but are looking to patch up the several glaring holes in their swings when they finally decide to lift the bat off of their shoulders. The outfield defense has been messy to say the least, but Jeimer Candelario, Jordy Mercer, and Josh Harrison have had plenty of success with the glove at their infield positions of third base, shortstop, and second base, respectively.

The first run through the starting rotation has also proved to be rock solid. In the first five games of the season, the rotation stats look like this:

ERA: 2.48 WHIP: 0.82 K/9: 9 BB/9: 2.89

The bullpen has also done very well, only allowing 5 total runs to score over 16 innings. Their first five game rundown is as shown:

ERA: 2.81 WHIP: 1.06 K/9: 7.9 BB/9: 2.81

The Tigers sit at a record of 2-3 to start the season, and will look to make it back to .500 when they take on the Yankees tomorrow: Jordan Zimmermann will look to build off of his spectacular opening day performance, and Masahiro Tanaka will attempt to get New York over the .500 mark after losing a three game series to the Baltimore Orioles.

Padres Tantalizingly Close to No-Hitter (Daryll)

Padres Tantalizingly Close to No-Hitter (Daryll)

I predicted that Tyson Ross would throw a no-hitter…in 2014. Again in 2015. Friday night, a Tyson Ross that nearly left baseball and came back to the Padres nearly threw the first Padres no-hitter in history.

Great piece by AJ Cassavelloutlining some Padres close calls on no-hitters, including a game in 2006 where Chris Young nearly got it done in the 9th. A game I was at. Not included in this…

A.J. Griffin had a Bad Day

A.J. Griffin had a Bad Day

A.J. Griffin is one of the guys trying to make the Texas Rangers rotation for the 2017 season. He gave up six runs on six hits in 2.2 innings pitched, including two home runs. His ERA for the spring is now 10.57. But what do spring training stats really mean? Griffin doesn’t think too much of the stats.

“I was working on my offspeed stuff, and I feel really good about the action I’m getting on…
