When healthy Dirks should be out there every day. Use Bosch/Young as a DH platoon to minimize defensive problems?

I'm not very high on Dirks long-term but he's earned the right to play every day on this team until he proves otherwise. With Baker I think you can have a nice rotation of Boesch, Dirks and Baker with Delmon used as a pinch hitter. vs lefties: Young and Bakervs righties: Dirks and BoeschBoesch can play sometimes vs lefties, he hits them pretty well. Whatever scenario that exists where Delmon isn't playing works for me.Raburn may never return from the DL, there isn't any room for him. Only thing they can do is keep him there until the rosters expand. Wow Verlander screws himself with the error.

That last plate appearance by Tex could literally be the worst at-bat I've ever seen.
2nd & 3rd... 2 outs. Takes three straight curve balls for strikes. Bat never leaves his shoulder.

Jeff Baker found out he had been traded when the team got back from LA. Instead of waiting for a flight, he threw his stuff in his car and drove to Detroit. I like this guy already.

OMG Lamont. 
Peralta would have been out by a bus length there. For all the times he holds guys who definitely should have been sent, I guess that's a little payback.
Great at bats this inning.

Verlander not great tonight but average Justin is fine by me most nights. He would have got another inning had he not made that error, oh well.
Now Phil Coke will try to make it close.

Yes, he strikes out a ton (3rd in the AL). I think it's fine but he has been a #5 hitter for two years now and the Yankees keep hitting him 2nd. If I were Girardi I'd slide Ichiro up to 2nd and drop Grandy to 5th where he could probably do a lot of damage with Cano and Teix in front of him.

He's already 6th all-time on the franchise K list. He's only halfway to Lolich but he's already achieved Denny McClain overall numbers (wins, ERA, WHIP, K, etc) and he's just 29. His WHIP and OAV totals are among the best in franchise history, he's probably three or four seasons away from being a "no doubt" best in franchise history.Yeah, I was just kidding.

Ichiro, Granderson, and Texeira each struckout 3 times tonight. Talk about destroying the heart of one of baseball's best offensive teams.

In the big picture of the season and his career, I'm still not comfortable having him pitch that 8th inning. (JV being JV, he probably wanted to pitch the 9th, too!)

He was also coming off an extra day off and he'll have more in a few starts down the stretch with Sanchez replacing the rookie starter spot, which might have been skipped otherwise.I think JV has proven his just fine throwing 120, 130 pitches every outing.

Seeing Bosch's 12 pitch at bat made me think of this for some reason:
On June 4, 1984, Bergman came to bat in the 11th inning with two men on base and two outs in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Bergman fouled off seven pitches, and on a full count hit the 13th pitch of the at bat into the upper deck at Tiger Stadium for a walk-off, three-run home run. In his book, Bless You Boys, Detroit manager, Sparky Anderson, wrote, "Tonight I saw the greatest at bat in my life...Bergie fouled off seven pitches and then picked one practically off the ground and drilled it into the upper deck in right. What a battle! Bergie was up there a full seven minutes."
Not sure why, but it jogged a memory.

That Bergman at bat was the best at bat of any Tiger in my lifetime. I'll never forget it.Great effort by Porcello tonight, wish he was just a little more consistent.

White Sox finally lost, hard to believe it the way they are playing.
Indians blew another one also. Never gonna feel real bad for the Indians but that team is better than 11 straight losses at any point in a season. Five unearned runs tonight from three errors, ouch.
Benoit was not available tonight, but maybe Leyland was just saving him for tomorrow. If they are up, they'll need him to close because Valverde threw more pitches than Porcello did tonight.
