Busy Memorial Day highlights Week 8

BadCo · May 25, 2009

Gallardo allowed six runs on seven hits through five innings Wednesday, picking up his second loss of the season.
He struck out three, walked two and allowed a home run to Miguel Tejada. This start was set up by strange circumstances (his last start lasted only a few innings because of rain), so we will consider it an anomaly.

GALLARDO is 0-1 when starting against ST LOUIS with an ERA of 9.28 and a WHIP of 1.500.His team's record is 0-2 (-2.6 units) in these starts. The UNDER is 0-2. (-2.6 units)

Tigers offense suddenly lacks spark

Lynn Henning / The Detroit News

Detroit -- Listed within the statistics is a big reason why the Tigers scored one run Sunday, three runs Saturday, and no more than five runs in any game since May 17.
Curtis Granderson, once the jumper cable to the Tigers offense, has been the biggest mystery on manager Jim Leyland's roster.
Granderson was 0-for-4 on Sunday as the Tigers crawled to a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Comerica Park. They got six hits, five of them singles.

 <script language="JavaScript">  </script><script style="display: none;" language="javascript1.1" src="http://gannett.gcion.com/addyn/3.0/5111.1/133600/0/0/ADTECH;alias=mi-detroit.detnews.com/sports/baseball/al/tigers/article.htm_ArticleFlex_1;cookie=info;loc=100;target=_blank;grp=693692;misc=1243265057971"></script> 
Granderson is batting .240, 40 points beneath his career average entering the season. He has four doubles and a triple, which in previous years would've been Granderson's output from a three-game series.
And while he has 11 home runs, which have been vital to a handful of victories, Granderson's otherwise frigid first quarter has been murder on a team that suddenly is not scoring runs.
The manager has noticed, although he wasn't indicting Granderson on Sunday after a game in which his entire batting order pretty much looked like hash against mediocre Rockies pitcher Jason Hammel.
"We've had some bad at-bats," said Leyland, whose 1-2-3 hitters were a combined 0-for-23 in Saturday's and Sunday's losses. "We've got too many guys not hitting. There's no way we should score one run with that lineup. We did absolutely nothing."
Granderson's day was, well, typical of too many this year: pop to third, grounder to second, fly ball to left, line drive to second.
"For whatever reason, he's not getting the leadoff doubles or triples," said Leyland, who batted the left-handed Granderson fifth against Hammel, a right-hander. "We've got to get him going."
Leyland was asked before the game for thoughts on Granderson's anemic spring: "It looks to me like he's not getting to hitting position. He's in-between a lot."
Granderson is as baffled as Leyland and anyone else who wonders who this guy is wearing Granderson's No. 28 uniform.
"I can't put my finger on it," he said, putting the finishing touches on his gray suit ensemble as he and the Tigers prepared to board a flight to Kansas City, Mo., for a three-game series that starts today. "I've never had this happen. I don't know what all's going on, but to me it looks and feels bad."
He rejects the prevailing view he might be getting homer-conscious after knocking 11 into the seats in the first seven weeks.
"I've hit a lot of those home runs with a man on first base when I was trying to hit the ball through the hole," he said. "Instead, I've been getting pitches that I've hit out of the ballpark.
"It's a crazy thing with everything going on."
That's another issue, of course. Granderson has lots going on. He does a blog for ESPN.com. He's a community drone bee who shows up at all kinds of public functions on behalf of the Tigers and other interests. He owns a restaurant/bar in Chicago.
And, yes, he's 28 and single.
"It's interesting," Granderson said, acknowledging that, "I like being busy. When I do a lot of things, I get to the ballpark and my mind is finally on that (baseball) instead of sitting around at home dwelling on it.
"Maybe to a lot of people it seems like a lot, but since '06 and '07 I think it's (his schedule) gone down. In '07, I was blogging three times a week. Now it's once. My school visits are down."
He's a silent partner, he says, in his Chicago business. As for the single life, he said, "If you're single or married, I'm not sure which side requires more time."
Granderson doesn't have a lot of time for outside theories on why he isn't hitting. He knows the numbers speak for themselves. He isn't happy.
Nor, Sunday, was a Tigers team that had lost for the second consecutive time, perhaps not coincidentally. Its ignition switch remains firmly in the "off" position.
