5/23 7:40 Tigers @ Twins

[Tigeraholic1]

Target Field - Minneapolis, MN

Forecast

RHP Beau Brieske vs RHP Chris Archer

 

 

[gehringer_2]

Archer appears to be on a short leash this season. He hasn't gone more than 4.1 in 7 starts and Minny has lost 4 of them.

One of the few (6) with an above average OPS.  Sad but true.

Sadder and still true?  Only 3 of those 6 are available to play tonight.

Willi on a 1/16 and OPSing 585 against RHP, which is what Archer is, is a terrible fielder and terrible base runner. I don't know what (else) Hinch did he is so ashamed of but Willi clearly has the pics. 👿

Yeah, I don't blame AJ for trying to squeeze the juice out of the lemon. 

But the juice seems gone at this point...

Apparently, Beau Brieske has been taken out of the pitching rotation and Elvin Rodriguez is starting the series against the Twins.

half dozen of one, 6 of the other. Maybe just to keep him on his rotation day after the rain out and hopefully not because Brieske is heading to the IL!

Schoop in the 2 hole. Gotta get him at least 5 at bats. Work himself out of a 2 month slump.

I dunno, I think E2-Rod is going to have to wear this one. Brieske tomorrow, BP day Weds...

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Daz legs out a grounder for an RBI, for all the good it'll do.

[mtutiger]

Nice recovery for El-Rod

wow, it's Dickerson's twin in the stands.

[gehringer_2]

I'll give credit where credit is due. Willi Castro appears to be one of the only Tigers that knows the right way to turn when a pitch is bearing in on him.
