witesoxfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) That is a run every three games or so if you base it on the 27 run differential. Freep Tigers @freeptigers This adds to Tigers lead in unearned runs allowed. They've allowed league-high 58 unearned runs. White Sox have allowed league-low 21. Besides the fact that the Tigers pitching staff has been worse (and I think is worse, all things considered, though they are pretty close), they've also allowed ~40 more runs that weren't the pitcher's fault than the White Sox. That exasperates the problem, forcing pitchers to work more than they have to and giving up runs they should have never given up. You don't have to look at anything else, that alone is the difference in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to look at anything else, that alone is the difference in the standings. Yep. Adding on say 10-15 pitches to pitch over an error, can show up later in the game for sure. It almost means you are probably going one guy deep into the pen too. All around the defense hurts more than just the unearned runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like in May when KC swept a two-game series in Texas. That doesn't even count the 4-game splits with Baltimore & the Yankees. Automatic!

Real Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Miguel Cabrera Leaves Game With Ankle Injury Share This:More Sharing Services Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email 0 Miguel Cabrera. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera has left Detroit’s game Thursday against Toronto in the second inning with right ankle soreness. The slugging third baseman appeared to grimace as he rounded first after flying out to right field in the first, but he went out to his position to start the second. After the second out of the inning — a routine popup to first baseman Prince Fielder — Tigers manager Jim Leyland and a trainer went out to check on Cabrera. Cabrera then walked off the field and was replaced at third by Ramon Santiago. Cabrera is hitting .326 with 31 home runs and 105 RBIs and has worked his way into the MVP discussion. He hasn’t missed a game this year. (© Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

whtsoxfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Motown worried about Cabrera's ankle. It doesn't seem serious (perhaps a sprain) but if it hasn't gotten better for 3 weeks, it isn't going to get better playing on it every day.
