My new least favorite player is Adam Everett. Who's NOT your Tiger? They sign this guy for defense, bat him at the bottom of the order and he can neither hit nor defend to save his life so far. Two more misplays today. Neither were errors, but so what. He makes a nice diving stop on one ball but is unable to even make a throw, then drops the ball when trying to turn two. Not happy with him. If the guy cannot hit and they do not expect him to hit, then just play Santiago at SS everyday and let this guy be the backup.
Porcello was impressive in his major league debut today. His line: 5.0 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO. Not great, but not too bad for a 20 year old in his first start. He gave up two long balls which hurt and of course, the bullpen allowed one of his runners to score.
Miguel had another hit, going 1 for 3 to drop his average to .615. Not too bad. Curtis went deep for the 2nd time this young season.
Key points in the game:
Top of the 3rd when the Tigers left the bases loaded.
Top of the 4th when Santiago reached on infield single, then Everett doubled but Santiago was thrown out at home. Everett advanced to third on the play at the plate, but Curtis struck out to end the inning.
Too many missed opportunities.
Of course, the game effectively ended in the bottom of the 6th when the score changed from 2-2 to 6-2 on a couple home runs and a long double (off 3 different pitchers).
