Game 43: Tigers (20-22) @ Indians (24-18), 7:05pm

Published by Bob Biscigliano on May 23, 2012 | 30 Responses

Dating back to May 8, there’s a pattern the Tigers have been following as it pertains to winning and losing (WLWLL-WLWLL-WLWL?). If that is to continue on Wednesday night, they will lose. Let’s hope it does not.

Lineups after the jump…

Tigers - (D. Fister – R)

Indians - (Z. McAllister – R)

Walkoff Notes:

  • Quintin Berry makes his MLB debut. In the minors, he got on base at a .358 clip and stole about 40 bags a season. Supposedly, he’s Nook Logan fast, and I once saw Nook Logan circle the bases on a ground ball to third base (after two errors). That could be exciting and the proverbial shot in the arm. Don’t get your hopes up, though. But if you want to personalize a shersey now, he will wear No. 52.
  • Speaking of leadoff hitters, I mentioned in the recap that Shin-Soo Choo is on a 9-game hitting streak. Since moving to the Indians’ leadoff spot, he’s hitting a cool .394/.487/1.093 in 39 plate appearances. Sure enough, he will be leading off for the Indians again.

    Fister will get no run support again tonight. (Reverse jinx).

      Hey, that will work!

  • SkitchPatterson

    Your underwear is likely unkempt

      How do you know this? Stop looking in my window, that’s gross.

      • SkitchPatterson

        I said likely, I just tricked you into admitting it. I played you John Edwards (the ghost talker dude, not the presidential candidate guy) style!

          Hmmm. I’m not sure how I feel about being tricked into admitting anything.

    • Doug

      And your father was a hampster

      • Chuck Norris

        Nnnnnnnnnnnne!

  • PAUL

    IM SAD

    • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

      Don’t be sad, Paul. Cabrera just doubled.

  • Richard S.

    This is getting out of hand. Did you know that Prince Fielder’s mom was so fat that Cecil cooked her, causing the feud between the two?

    • Frank Gregg

      Wait why did that cause the feud?

      • Richard S.

        Because Prince was hungry and didn’t get any.

  • SkitchPatterson

    Do the Tigers lead the league in “hits off the top part of the wall?”

    • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

      Is say they’re pretty freaking close.

  • kalinecountry

    How you doing Josh?

    • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

      I’m doing pretty fantastically swell 20-21 hours out of the day. How about you?

      • kalinecountry

        Same here, if Tigers were playing better I think we would be doing better 24/7

        • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

          I completely agree.

  • SkitchPatterson

    Quentin Berry better make an error real quick if he doesn’t want to show up his teammates. 

  • SkitchPatterson

    I like that Leyland mixes up his lineups so that there are no stretches of weakness throughout.. Like Santiago/Laird/Berry consecutively. 

  • Z4Willy

    We fucking stink. Mccallister is throwing nothing but fastballs and the Tigers cant touch it.

  • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

    Scoreless through three innings. I suppose the rude comments we are all posting rather creatively are keeping the Indians off the scoreboard. Excellent!

  • SkitchPatterson

    Keep the updates coming, I’m watching an episode entitled Sea Monkey, where due to a comedy of errors, George is forced to pass through a very narrow coral reef  by himself in order to retrieve a fallen satellite.

      For those who don’t know Skitch and I have an inside joke where I tell him to go watch Curious George on occasion.

      • SkitchPatterson

        Inside joke? Im live blogging what I’m actually watching. Quint is giving George updates through his headset. They are monitoring his progress through a camera on his helmet. 

        • http://www.walkoffwoodward.com/ Josh Worn

          The inside joke is that you actually have to watch it.

          • SkitchPatterson

            The real joke is if the Tigers don’t get better, we’re all going to end up watching a lot of American Pickers past the 4th inning.

            This is unfortunately true.
