I'm back from the twilight zone.

Looks like about 90 fans in the park.



Also, Tigers are playing at least two guys in unfamiliar positions.

Tigers have busted out with a first-inning three-run shot that wouldn't have left the park under the original dimensions, but alas.

I didn't think Pham's shot was far enough or fair enough.

Turned out it was just barely so in each case.




To quote Howie Rose, it was a ‘sneaky home run.'

Why not Alvarez against the lefty?

The second game starter for Detroit is a righty.

Why not Nido?



If you are alternating, they presumably both have the same advantage against a lefty, and the same disadvantage against a righty.

Alvarez is the hotter batter. He is 6-for-17 (.353) with a home run and three RBIs over his last seven games.

If he isn't going to catch against the lefty, why not DH him?(Although I can't argue that after what Canha did)

How about Nido catches the Hall of Fame pitcher in Scherzer. Nido is the defensive catcher?

No explanation given.

Gary speculated about needing a starter on Sunday so maybe bringing Lew Casey back on three days rest. Or maybe just Buck wanted to counter Detroit's RH-heavy lineup rather than have the Lefty going third time around.
