After an awesome win on Saturday night, 11-10, supplanted by Luke Scoot’s walkoff; Daniel Cabrera looking awful, and Detroit’s Nate Robertson even worse, the script turned out to be the same on Sunday — yet another loss — their 15th in a row. Sad to see, honestly. Baltimore earned a split with Detroit in the four [...]

Nate Robertson (6-8, 5.26) vs. Daniel Cabrera (6-5, 4.33) Thursday night, the Tigers brought the big boi bats. Last night, the Orioles swung the big sticks. If this series continues to follow the rhythm of its first two games, tonight should be the Detroit's turn to knock out some long balls. And Daniel Cabrera could be just the guy to accommodate such an outburst. Last time Cabrera faced the Tigers,...

PREGAME: It will be Nate Robertson and Daniel Cabrera. Cabrera isn’t on pace to walk over 100 batters for the first time in history. But he’s still walking 4 batters per nine innings. Cabrera typically posted above average K’s numbers in his career, but now he’s only fanning 5 per nine [...]

PREGAME: Another day game on Fox, another Twins starter the Tigers struggle against. This time it’s Scott Baker. Nate Robertson is on the mound for Detroit. He went 9 innings of excellent work against the Mariners. But the start prior to that the Twins handed him his worst start of the year [...]

Scott Baker (5-2, 3.32) vs. Nate Robertson (6-7, 5.19) Until the Tigers start winning some games against the Twins, I'll probably keep straining for metaphors to describe the aggravation that comes from watching this team from Minnesota constantly crush the hopes and dreams for this season in Detroit. Last night, I used Charlie Brown and Lucy to illustrate the repetitive frustration of losing close...

Nate Robertson (6-7, 5.56) vs. Ryan Rowland-Smith (2-1, 3.05) One week after finally surpassing the .500 mark for the first time this season, the Detroit Tigers fell back below it after their second straight loss to the Seattle Mariners, who have the worst record in the American League. Winning today would salvage a series split. Baseball Musings has a post today showing how much the Mariners have...

PREGAME: I’ll be honest with you. Going into this series I didn’t have big demands. As long as the Tigers didn’t get swept, I figured things would be okay. However, with that requirement out of the way I’m going to greedy and ask for a series win. Tonight it will be Nate Robertson [...]
