Why is Thortnton out?

Something with his elbow.

Jenks will pitch the 9th, so I'd use Putz in the 8th, Pena in the 7th and have Santos ready to go if needed in the 9th for Jenks.

The good news is for us, the only lefties the Tigers have in their lineup right now are Boesch and Damon, and the 2 lefties on their bench are hitting around .200.

Freddie! :headbang

No more crap about skipping Freddy's turn when there's a day off. He's been more consistent than Floyd or Buehrle.

Freddy just appears to be a gamer this year. He's been a pretty good workhorse in the rotation. Hopefully, Ozzie pulls him at the right time today.

quality start by fred

 

Can't ask for more out of a 5th starter than he's given us so far this year.

c'mon PK, how about a little insurance?

At least that walk stops Porcello from getting his third straight 1-2-3 inning.

Something with his elbow.

inflammation

12 pitches total in 2 innings were dumb buy our hitters.

Just saw the Twins are down 11-1 to the Jays. Yes!

Freddy lowers his ERA to 4.52...very nice.

Jones first CS of the season.

You bring Freddy back out? Bottom of the order.

Yeah, and I put him on a short leash. 1 base runner.

I agree, good sir.

Santos L Halper in.

Who'd have thought that Fred would be our 2nd best pitcher! Good job today!

Or Santos, I'm okay with this as well. Good job Freddy!

Sergio time...lets do it kid.

Freddy's been worth the $1 million option so far.

Santos is so good.

Not the time for walks, Sergio. C'mon, get these guys out.

Does Santos normally pitch out of the stretch to start an inning?
