The Tigers suffered their first blowout of the season Saturday. Zumaya struggled again Friday and Detroit lost another game it led after 6. But the real reason for my visit today is to post this note stolen from Billfer at the Tigers Weblog:
Entering today, Placido Polanco had swung and missed 3 times this season. Three. I forget the exact number, but Billfer had Polly with 90+ consecutive swings with contact.
An observation from last night: Polly came to bat with a runner on base and the OF playing him to go the other way. Tigers talking head Rod Allen noted the defense and mused about Polly pulling the ball. Polly choked up and blooped a double to left for an RBI.
