Detroit Tigers Baseball Blog » Freddy Dolsi http://www.tigershomeplate.com A blog about Detroit Tigers Baseball Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:58:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Tigers explode for 19 runs and beat the Royals 19-4 http://www.tigershomeplate.com/tigers-explode-for-19-runs-and-beat-the-royals-19-4/ http://www.tigershomeplate.com/tigers-explode-for-19-runs-and-beat-the-royals-19-4/#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:39:35 +0000 TrammelFan92 http://www.tigershomeplate.com/?p=59 The Detroit Tigers used a big 10 run spot in the eighth inning as the exploded to beat the Kansas City Royals by the score of 19-4.  Let’s all hope the Tigers didn’t use up all their offense on Monday evening as they still have two more games against the Royals in Kansas City.  However, scoring 19 runs is huge for the team!

Miguel Cabrera led the team with six rbi while Matt Joyce was right behind him with five rbi.  Gary Sheffield had three rbi, Carlos Guillen two rbi, and Ivan Rodriguez chipped in with one rbi each.  Sheffield had a three run home run and Joyce had a two run shot in the game.

Starting pitcher Zach Miner tossed six shutout innings to pick up the win and improve to 4-3 on the season.  Freddy Dolsi did have some problems in the seventh inning as he allowed four hits and four runs to score.  Aquilino Lopez tossed the final two innings of the game without allowing a run to score.  So besides the four run eighth inning, the Tigers pitchers did a pretty good job.

Kenny Rogers will take the mound for the Tigers on Tuesday night as they hope to go up 2-0 in the three game series.  Tigers Blog

Dolsi took the loss and is now 1-3 on the year.   It was just a bad pitch by Dolsi and he took the punishment which was the loss.  Kenny Rogers had started the game for the Tigers and pitched the first seven innings of the game.  Rogers left the game after giving up nine hits and three runs.  Once Rogers left the game, Fernando Rodney gave up a run while Todd Jones let two more runs score.  Jones let both runs score in the ninth inning when the Tigers blew the save.

Ramon Santiago led the Tigers at the plate with two rbi but was followed by Curtis Granderson, Placido Palanco, Jeff Larish, and Matt Joyce who all had one rbi each.  Joyce’s rbi game via the long ball as he went deep in the fourth inning.

The Tigers will try to even the series up on Friday when they will send Armando Galarraga to the mound.

Rogers wasn’t the only pitcher to suck however as Freddy Dolsi gave up four hits and three runs in only one inning of action.  Finally Casey Fossum and Fernando Rodney were able to finish up the game without letting any more runs score.

All four of the Tigers runs came via the home run.  Gary Sheffield had a two run home run and then Ivan Rodriguez and Miguel Cabrera connected for solo home runs.  There just wasn’t enough runners on base to make up the four run difference in the game.

So will the Tigers win on Wednesday?  I doubt it they way they are playing compared to the Cardinals who have been playing some very good baseball.

Placido Polanco and Carlos Guillen had two rbi each for the Tigers as the plate.  Polanco had a great day as he went 4-4 as well.  Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera both had one rbi in the game to help out at the plate.

Armando Galarraga picked up the win and is now 7-2 on the season.  Galarraga pitched very well as he lasted six innings.  He gave up seven hits but only two runs on the day.  Galarraga struck out five batters and walked two.

Freddy Dolsi pitched much better as he threw two innings on Wednesday and only allowed one hit while walking two batters.  Zach Miner finished things up in the ninth inning and ended the game without giving up a hit in the inning.

Fernando Rodney was welcomed back with a three run home run in the eighth inning as he let three of the five runs in the inning score.  Freddy Dolsi let the other two runs score in the eighth inning when the Giants opened up the flood gates.

It sucked watching Dolsi and Rodney pitch so poorly.  Especially after Justin Verlander threw six innings and only gave up five hits and three runs.  Verlander gave up one home run in the game but other then that he was pretty good as he got a no decision.

At the plate for the Tigers, Marcus Thames hit two home runs and finished the game with three rbi.  Pitch hitter Edgar Renteria had a rbi sac fly in the seventh inning and then in the ninth inning Curtis Granderson had a two run single.

Once again it was the bullpen losing a game for the Tigers.  I have a feeling that the bullpen is going to hurt this team the entire season.  What do you think?

Nate Robertson fell to 3-6 on the season as he took the loss in the game.  Giving up eight hits, five runs, and three walks just didn’t get it done for Robertson who threw 6 1/3 innings.  The Tigers bullpen wasn’t any better however as they gave up another five runs in the game.

Freddy Dolsi got right back on the mound after last nights outing and gave up one run while only recording one out in the game.  Casey Fossum had the worst outing however as he gave up four runs without even recording an out!  Fossum, your old, you suck, please retire!  Aquilino Lopez pitched the final 1 1/3 innings and gave up three hits but zero runs.

Both of the Tigers runs came in the sixth inning as Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez both recorded an rbi.  Guillen had a rbi single that scored Ryan Raburn and Ordonez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored Curtis Granderson.

The Tigers will have a much needed off day on Thursday and then will get back to playing baseball on Friday when they begin a series with the Clevleand Indians.

Bobby Seay actually took the loss as he gave up a lead off single in the 11th inning and that was the winning run that scored.  Dontrelle Willis took the no decision after throwing four innings and allowing two hits and no runs.  The Tigers are going to be very cautious with Willis as he regains arm strength to be come a starter once again.

Armando Galarraga gave up three runs after he came into the game when Willis exited.  Casey Fossum then was called upon but he also gave up a run as the Tigers bullpen just didn’t get the job done.

Curtis Granderson, Placido Polanco, Miguel Cabrera, and Carlos Guillen all had a rbi in the game for the Tigers.  They just weren’t able to get that one or two big runs at the end of the game to come away with a victory.

Jeremy Bonderman improved to 3-4 on the season as he picked up the win for the Tigers.  Bonderman tossed six innings while giving up eight hits and two runs.  He also had two walks and two strike outs.

Freddy Dolsi pitched the final three innings of the game to record his first save of the season.  Dolsi did not give up a hit in his three innings of action as he did a very good job.

Matt Joyce and Brandon Inge both hit home runs in the game for the Tigers.  Joyce had a two run shot while Inge connected on a three run home run.  Inge finished the game with three rbi while Jouce and Magglio Ordonez both had two rbi.  Edgar Renteria and Miguel Cabrera both chipped in with an rbi each as well.

Good with for the Tigers and now they will start a series with the Twins on Friday.  Tigers Blog

In Wendesday’s game against the Royals the Tigers offense was never there it seemed like.  The Tigers only had six hits and left 16 runners on base.  So much for that awesome offense we were talking about before the season started.

Justin Verlander took another loss on the mound as he dropped to 1-7 on the season.  Verlander didn’t pitch badly there just wan’t any run support for him.  He threw six innings and allowed six hits and two runs.  Both the runs came in the second inning on a rbi single.

Clay Rapada and Freddy Dolsi pitched the final two inning of the game without allowing another run score.

The Tigers struck out six times and did not walk once in the game.  They simply got dominated by Wakefield.

Nate Robertson piched 6 1/3 innings and took the loss for the Tigers.  Robertson gave up ten hits and four runs in the game.  Robertson now has a 6.64 ERA on the season.  That definaly isn’t good for any pitcher!

Freddy Dolsi pitched 1 2/3 innings and gave up one run as well.

Just another terrible game for the Tigers.  It seems like we have been saying that for quite a while…  Things have to turn around at some point you would think.
