vandy125 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 09:26 AM) Infante didn't leave the game due to injury. He was replaced by Inge at third for defensive purposes. The Polanco injury is huge though. Obviously he was a defensive stalwort but he was also the #1 steadying influence on the team when he came up to bat. He never struck out, he would almost always put the ball in play (and in the direction that the situation demanded) and he was one of the best hitters with RISP in the entire leauge. The degree of his shoulder separation is not yet known. Out for the year according to Rodriguez. Linkage Rodriguez said on the Tigers postgame broadcast that Polanco was out for the year.

southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Wow. And now with hindsight... How big was the non-Soriano trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loltrain Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Polanco is a big loss defensively, and while I will miss his high contact rate offensively he has actually been pretty horrible: .294 .325 .359 .684 Also, since I wasn't around a belated congratulations to the White Sox for the sweep, Contreras was awesome and we made some dumb mistakes in the other games, which you simply can't afford to do against a great team like Chicago.

Bonderman38 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah, Infante was in for Inge and just left for Inge to come in. Infante is a decent player though. He was one of the top 5 2nd Basemen in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkage It should be noted that Pudge said that before -any- medical analysis or MRI on the shoulder was performed. He was simply assuming the worst because Placido looked like he was in quite a bit of pain. So TIFWIW. QUOTE(loltrain @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) and while I will miss his high contact rate offensively he has actually been pretty horrible: You still cannot ignore a batting average of .374 with runners in scoring position. His lack of walks and extra base hits aside....guy has been flat out CLUTCH with men on base this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Sean Casey has been killing the ball this past week...not so much for power, but he's driven in 7 over that time in several low scoring games. Good move by Dombrowski. I'm curious if he'll be moved up to the 2 spot with Polanco out. edit: well, forgot the Tigers game already started so I looked at the lineup...Craig Monroe in the 2 spot? hmmm Edited August 16, 2006 by mmmmmbeeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) You have to work pretty hard to find a leadoff hitter with a lower on base percentage than Podsednik. The Tigers have found one. ANd somehow, he leads off the game with a walk. Edited August 16, 2006 by Balta1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loltrain Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) LOL, Ordonez just completely butchered a fairly easy catch on an Ortiz flyball, leading to it just getting over the short fence for a 2 run homer. 3-1 Red Sox, but it really should be 1-1. Haha, he promptly leads off the next inning with a solo jack over the monster to make it 3-2. Clevlen with his third career homer, a two run shot over the green monster and out of the stadium. 4-3. Well, Verlanders curveball was nowheres near the strike zone tonight and he ended up walking 7! (Boston was smart enough not to swing at the fastball and other pitches, and force him to try and throw the curve for strikes) Fastball velocity was still 100 mph, so I guess he was just having a rough game, not fatigue... Now 5-4 boston in the top of the 7th. Edited August 17, 2006 by loltrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 No Polanco for what looks like 4-6 weeks, at least. Who they gonna pick up? Read that they tried hard to get Grudz from KC.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Mr. second half has shut down a very powerful Ranger offense through 5 innings. Make that 4-1 Tigers on a HR by Gullien. We're not getting any help from anybody. Only team Detroit can't beat is us. Edited August 18, 2006 by Jordan4life_2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 For a guy everybody said was a lock to suck in the second half, Rogers hasn't done too badly in August. 4 runs allowed in 19 innings.

DeRosa walks on 5 pitches, it's a 4-2 game, still loaded with 0 outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
