"It was my fault," Kaline said, sitting on a black leather sofa in the Tigers clubhouse as Detroit got ready for a night game against Milwaukee. "It was one of the worst, if not the worst, decisions I've ever made in my life.

Third inning, Tigers on first and second, none out. Bunt, bunt, ground out. No runs score. Ausmus says after the game that both bunts were "hitters on their own." Maybe he tried the "Don't bunt unless you get the sign" rule with team Israel and lost the clubhouse. Wouldn't want to lose two clubhouses in three years.
Later in the game, Iglesias ranges to his far right, nearly gets Lawrie at third. Tough play, wasn't a force, Iglesias had no chance going to first. Same inning, first and third, routine grounder to Kinsler, whose only play is at first since the runner on first went with the pitch and the runner on third stayed put. Rather than go for the 4-3, Kinsler weakly throws home. Kinsler says after the game that he thought the runner on third was going home. Translation: "I am not at fault." He also says they "had an out" they "didn't come up with," in reference to the Iglesias play.
Ausmus might be only a loss or two away from making another domestic abuse "joke."

Cabrera went only 2-for-5 yesterday with no XBH -- which dragged his '15 against-Cleveland slash line down to a measly .619/.673/1.024 -- so he's sitting today.

"There's too much talent in this clubhouse for this team not to play better," Verlander said. "Everybody needs to take a look in the mirror. And that starts with me. I can't call this a step forward for me. It was a disappointment. I've got to pitch better."

At this point, I'd prefer to see the Tigers set themselves up for the future (and enrage entitled fans even more). I'd be a little surprised if Ilitch gave in, though.
