Are the announcers seriously discussing what is wrong with Cabrera? It is the freaking the 6th game of the season.

 

It's pretty obvious what's wrong with him...he's off-balanced due to his stride being off. That's why he's check swinging a lot and breaking his bat.

nicely done!

Buehrle got out of that 2nd inning a little better then his opening day game

I see Buerhle is back to his 86 MPH fastball that apparently plagued his 2006. He seems to be doing fine now, Im only worried about what happens later in the game the 2nd and 3rd times through the order when they sit waiting for an 86 MPH fastball.

Mark lookin' good.

Crede with a single up the middle. Love getting the lead off man on.

Lead-off single for Crede. 1 on, 0 out for Uribe.

I'd be more concerned if he hadn't been sitting high 80s his entire career.

Uribe with a walk!

Evidence that Verlander does not have his "A" game today:

 

a Juan Uribe walk...

Uribe with a walk...it's a miracle.

Wow. Great atbat from Uribe.

 

And SWISH up!

Snacks and Cakes draws the walk. 2 on, 0 out for Swisher.

Uribe is plate patient. Bizarre.

How does Verlander walk Uribe on 5 pitches... just throw him 3 straight high fastballs, of all major league pitchers I expect Verlander to know this.

That was weird.

Wow. That looked like a single off the bat to me.

Swisher with a weak looper to short, Renteria with the 6-3 DP. 2 dead, Crede on 3rd.

I hate GIDP.

Cabrera continues to disappoint at the plate. He really could use a day off.

Cabrera grounds out to end the inning. Bad execution that inning.

Well that might come back to haunt us, 2 on no out and no runs.

damn it. we needed that inning.

Ugh, Cabrera swinging on the first pitch and a weak groundout. Inning over.

Not sure why Swish wasn't bunting there. Isn't that the role of a leadoff guy?
