Diaz optioned back to AA so, like I speculated the other day, Santana DHing at least for today and they're keeping an extra catcher for now to allow him to get back into the swing of things.

Ubaldo on the hill after being pushed back a couple of days...... again, as I said the other day, not sure I get moving him back to start in this series on the road as opposed to facing the Twins at home - hey, I guess we'll see what happens.

RF Choo
SS Cabrera
2B Kipnis
DH Santana
LF Duncan
CF Brantley
1B LaPorta
3B Chisenhall
C Marson

RHP Jimenez

CF Berry
LF M Young
3B Cabrera
1B Fielder
DH D Young
C Avila
SS Peralta
RF Boesch
2B Santiago

LHP Smyly

Also interesting to see that, for today at least, Carbera and Kipnis have flip-flopped in the order!

EDIT: Lopez a late scratch with lower back soreness and Chiz in the lineup.

Some ugly swings from the first couple hitters against this lefty. Better hope Ubaldo somehow channels April 2010.

Why the fuck haven't they abandoned the splitter with Ubaldo yet..... he bounces every single one!!

I wonder if he's uncoachable. Seemed arrogant as can be when Acta asked him about his Spring struggles saying he'd be fine. Clearly, he isn't.

If this keeps up, I hope the Indians just cut their losses and take the Jimenez deal for what it is.

I wondered when Belcher quit as pitching coach what affect this Ubaldo (and the other froot-loop we had at the time, Carmona) had on his decision.

Wow. It's tied! Color me surprised :nanner:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:45 pm

Drooooobs ties it up with a nice piece of hitting.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:48 pm

Lou Marson has a 7-game hitting streak.

Carlos Santana's career-long hit streak is 8.

Marson does ONLY have 7 hits in that 7 game hit streak though.

Doesn't matter. Dimaggio had 33 one-hit games during his 56-game hitting streak.

So, you calling a Marson 56 gamer with 56 singles?? :nanner:

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:03 pm

dazindiansfanuk wrote:So, you calling a Marson 56 gamer with 56 singles??

No. He'll break the record with one hit per game.

by **RedDawg53** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:11 pm

Holy Lou Marson!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:11 pm

I take it all back Lou Marson!!

Nice couple of swings by Lou tonight.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:13 pm

That ball was LouMarred. And likely gone at the Jake.

Good looking swing from Choo there.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:13 pm

Choooooo

Hopefully a sign of improvement against the lefties.... hit well against Diamond on Sunday too.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:15 pm

That wasn't off Asdrubal's foot!! hahaha

by **andrew6586** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:23 pm

Screw this big park. That would have been gone anywhere else.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:31 pm

Amazingly Jimenez has only thrown 63 pitches through 5IP.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:35 pm

Trick is to give him 9-10 days of rest between starts.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:38 pm

Another RBI triple!!!

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:39 pm

Terrible decision by Boesch. I'll gladly take it.

Nice rip by Brantley. Good AB by Shelley to extend the inning.

Matt LaPorta is useless.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:52 pm

Good pitch to Young. Jam him above the belt. Knew he'd swing first pitch.

Nice to see Ubaldo sack up after he thought the inning was over with the pitch to Fat Miggy.

Hammy: "the only two parks that ball stays in at are here and Yellowstone"

Props to Ubaldo, does he look the same throwing?

This Tiger line-up is a nine course meal with two courses being filet mignon and lobster and the other seven being Tuna Helper varietals.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:08 pm

Big out here for Hagadone.

Ubaldo seemed to lose his control here in the 7th, was behind everyone.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:08 pm

All this means is that Ubaldo's start against STL on Sunday will be 3 IP, 7 ER, 5 H, 5 BB.

As Dave Hester would say: Yuuup!

(A new Storage Wars airs tonight at 10 on A&E.)

I watch for Brandy and Barry. I don't know if it's because she's the only chick on there, but I think Brandy's cute. And Barry's just hilarious.

Can't stand everyone else.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:16 pm

The Clippers have scored 18 runs in 6 innings tonight. Can't believe they did it without Matt LaPorta.

Jared Goedert is 4-for-4 with 2 HR, 2B, SF and 9 RBI.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:22 pm

Vinnie P brought his A game tonight.

Gets through the heart of the order with ease.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:22 pm

Hell of an effort by Cecil Jr. getting down the 1B line on that groundout. Was barely on camera when Kotchman got to the bag.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:29 pm

2 walks for Brantley tonight..... he had just 2 walks in his last 32 games coming into today!!

by **RedDawg53** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:35 pm

Marson sucks :hide:

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:36 pm

Please get 3 quick outs and don't do anything to get the Tigers fired up/pissed off/woken up.

by **RedDawg53** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:39 pm

So much for the 1-2-3 inning (smoke)

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:40 pm

Fuck me AC.... that was amazing!!

by **RedDawg53** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:40 pm

How the eff does Asdrubal do that? Wow!

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:40 pm

Omar Vizquel called. He wants his play back.

Unbelievable play.

Great call at 2B too. Delmon never touched the bag.

Barry is by far the best. Dave is a douche but I think a lot of that is shtick by the producers.

Routine save.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:49 pm

Meanwhile, the Jays jump out to a 5-1 lead over the W/Sox in the 5th.
