Really ?
Isn't this the same team that felt last year that they could pass on the playoffs (Strausberg) last year because they knew they'd be back this year in the playoffs ?
Thier Ownership is Very arrogant if you ask me ...
Now, take a look at the back of those players bubble gum card and see if they were playing well above thier record last year or this year is the abberation.I picked them to meetup with Detroit in the World Series. What's happened to this team is truly unbelievable...all core players are having the worst seasons in the biggs - at the same time! Fans in the DC area have been waiting months for this team to turn-it-around and get hot...just don't see it happening with their being 10-1/2 game back.
Regardless, I never imaged Cleveland would be playing so well.
Tigers have an off day, but Cleveland wrapping-up a home series with the White Sox at noon. The ChiSox come to town for a weekend series with the Tigers starting Friday night. I sure hope Miggy is back in the lineup because he is the one man all paying attendees want to see play....but we certainly haven't missed his bat because Victor, Tori and crew have been putting a lot of runs on the board.
So how much are the Tigers going to miss Jhonny Peralta when he's bannished for the rest fo the season? He is having a great year at the plate, and his fielding at SS has been solid even though he lacks range. Although we may slightly improve at the SS position, I say we're going to really miss his .300 BA and all those doubles down the left field line in the bottom part of the lineup. I just hope Avila (who has been showing signs lately) picks things up at the plate.
Elsewhere, can you believe Victor Martinez raised his battling average to .274? He was hitting something like .220 at the end of June. He has been hitting everything hard for more than the past month.
Can I believe Victor is up to .274, YES, I was the one that kept telling everyone that he would hit and get his avg back up to around normal ... plenty of doubters, I was not one of them.
I had no doubt he would start hitting again...but a 50-60 point boost in BA during July was huge! Victor his something like .388 during the month. That's a Miggy-like number! Speaking of Miggy...I sure he plays tonight and get's healthy soon.
Peralta hit one where Miggy hits them; HR to straight-away center field. If Jhonny's going to be suspected, he may as well get in a few shots. Shots...get it?
