B-R Preview | Live Boxscore | MLB GameDay 3D

Complete Coverage >

Scheduled start time is 1:05, but this one won't start for a while. The good news is the rain is supposed to stop sometime late this afternoon. They may not get two games in, but should be able to play one on what I assume will be a sloppy field.

Borodin: Good. Then I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman, and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pick-up truck, or umm… possibly even…a recreational vehicle, and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?

can anyone confirm for me what is happening with today's games??? i can't find information anywhere!

Matchup: Tigers (70-76) at White Sox (81-65), 1:05 p.m. CT
Probable Starters: Justin Verlander (184 1/3 IP, 5.32 RA, 1.38 WHIP, 149 K) vs. Javier Vazquez (188 2/3, 4.48, 1.30, 180)
Pythagorean Record: Detroit, 72-74 (738 RS, 751 RA); Chicago, 81-65 (732 RS, 646 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Detroit, #17; Chicago, #6
Prospectus: The White Sox have their own problems, above and beyond having the Twins breathing down their necks, as the offense has been unable to produce since Carlos Quentin went down with his self-inflicted injury. The team has hit a collective .243/.303/.388 in his absence, and that’s with the bulk of those games coming in Chicago, where the offense normally does well. Today’s doubleheader will give the White Sox an opportunity to gain some ground on the Twins, who play a single game today. Of the two, the late contest is clearly in the White Sox’s favor, with staff ace John Danks facing off against the aged and increasingly decrepit Kenny Rogers.

Before that though, there’s this early afternoon game, with two starters going at it who have performed below expectations. Verlander’s pitching better lately than he did during the early part of the season, but he is still not entirely right. His average fastball velocity is down by 1.2 mph from last year (which is itself down slightly from the two seasons before). If you look at Verlander’s FIP, he appears to be suffering from poor luck, as his ERA is 0.61 higher due to his low strand rate of 65 percent, which FIP adjusts for. The thing is, though, that Verlander has pitched much more poorly from the stretch (opponent’s line of .315/.383/.458) than from the windup (.202/.294/.310). That’s a far cry from 2007, when he allowed a .230/.317/.350 line with runners on; if this is a fluke that will regress with more time, then it’s just bad luck for Verlander, but the Tigers may want to spend time this offseason doing some tinkering in order to get their ace back into form.

as far as i know his injury gets reevaluated next week.

Javy Career K's

Hawk is talking about how Javy has 1999 career Ks and is 61st on the all-time list. Is that really impressive? 61st all time? I mean, its not bad, by any stretch, but is it notable?

I mean I think it's noteworthy given the fact he's just about at 2000

It shows that he’s been durable and that he’s always been a power pitcher

by Crede's Crew on Sep 14, 2008 5:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's even more impressive....

…given that he generally gets the smallest strike zone amongst all pitchers.

He struck out the last hitter 3 times in one at bat, and the runner is currently on first base.

by Omar21 on Sep 14, 2008 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Javy Career Ks

He’s #9 on the active career list. That’s higher than I would have guessed. The only people ahead of him are:

1. Randy Johnson* (44) 4775 L
2. Greg Maddux (42) 3365 R
3. Curt Schilling (41) 3116 R
4. Pedro Martinez (36) 3098 R
5. John Smoltz (41) 3011 R
6. Mike Mussina (39) 2800 R
7. Tom Glavine* (42) 2607 L
8. Jamie Moyer* (45) 2237 L

Those are some seriously good pitchers. Moyer is kind of weird but the others are all HOF or HOF contenders. Impressive. And yet, despite the obvious good stuf and he durability and all the Ks, he’s never going to get close to the Hall. I wonder why.
