TIGERS (39-31)

Jackson CF

Hunter RF

Cabrera 3B

Fielder 1B

Martinez DH

Peralta SS

Tuiasosopo LF

Infante 2B

Pena C

Pitching: LHP Jose Alvarez (1-0, 1.50).

 

Game time: 7:08 p.m.

 

TV/Radio: NESN, MLB Network / WEEI.

 

Red Sox vs. Alvarez: No history.

 

Tigers vs. Lackey: Hunter 11-49, Peralta 11-28, Martinez 10-23, Cabrera 3-9, Infante 2-9, Santiago 2-9, Fielder 2-3, Kelly 2-3, Pena 2-3, Tuiasosopo 0-3.

 

Stat of the Day: Gomes is 11 of 29 in his last six games with two doubles, two homers and six RBIs.

 

Notes: The Sox carry the best record in the American League into Comerica Park and a four-game series against the Central-leading Tigers. The Sox were 5-5 against the Tigers last season and are 24-12 against them over the last five seasons, 10-7 at Comerica. ... Lackey is facing the Tigers for the first time since May 16, 2010. He is 6-2, 4.01 in 10 career starts against Detroit, 5-1, 4.09 in five starts at Comerica. ... Alvarez was originally signed by the Red Sox out of Venezuela in 2005. He was traded to Florida after the 2009 season (along with lefthander Hunter Jones) for outfielder Jeremy Hermida. The trade did not work out particularly well for any of the trio. Jones was released by the Marlins in 2010 and is now playing independent ball. Hermida was released by the Sox in August of 2010 and has played with four organizations since. Alvarez never made it beyond Double A with the Marlins and was signed by the Tigers over the winter as a minor league free agent. He was 5-4, 2.78 in 13 starts for Triple A Toledo before being called up. This is his second start. ... The Tigers are 23-12 at home and have won 56 of their last 79 games at Comerica. ... The Sox are 21-15 on the road this season with a run differential of +52. ... Iglesias had his hit streak snapped on Wednesday. But he has reached base safely in 22 consecutive games. That's tied with Pedroia for the longest such streak by a Red Sox player this season

Bradford seems snake bitten as a replacement analyst. "John Lackey is not throwing harder than he was before" just as Lackey runs one up there at 94 mph.

I remember seeing 94 quite a bit in 2011

Hopefully we score some runs before the 4th.

 

Somehow the 4th inning for Lackey is scary.

Lackey's Brooks pitchfx records shows Lackey at 93 and change in September and October 2010 and again in August 2011. But that could be differences in guns/systems...who knows. I honestly did not remember him able to hit 94. Outside of those months at 93.3 and 93.4 the rest of his career numbers show 91 and change and mostly 92 and change. I would have thought he would have had a tough time getting it up there at 94.

The only reason I remember him being at 94 is because I kept thinking '94, that's good velocity for him, so his arm can't be injured'. A smart man I am, as he was having TJS about a month later

Boy Ross seems to have really had some bad luck with that hockey style catcher's mask. I know Molina uses one. I think there are fewer guys using it than guys using the traditional mask. I wonder if the strength of his neck has anything to do with it. Ross can't be the only guy getting whacked square in the mug wearing that hockey style mask. But boy when he would get hit it was like somebody hit him with a sledge hammer.

Bradford is a moron. That ball skipped off his foot after the ball hit the ground

 

If anything the entire cast of also rans make me yearn for the return of Remy. Eck is an exception. TC was terrible the other night. Rice is terrible. Bradford is like chalk across a blackboard! Gammons is Gammons I guess.

I've been wondering about that, it's been like this for a couple days. Maybe because of the NBA and NHL playoffs?

 

Probably. Who knows. Time will tell if it's annoying posters or something else.
