He ran a 4.23?!

Looks like Henning corrected himself here. Still...
In April 1978, he also ran during an audition for NFL scouts. He was timed, by multiple people, at 4.28 in the 40-yard dash. This, from a 20-year-old man who stood 6-foot-3 and weighed 220 pounds.

"It's funny," said Lobstein, a genial, intelligent 25-year-old. "I pitch 7 2/3 innings and get three strikeouts. Soria gets four strikeouts pitching to four batters."

BP:
"Two years ago Detroit led the majors in strikeouts. This year, they're 29th. The most popular theory is all those strikeouts had to move out of state to find jobs."

"Time goes quick," Cabrera said. "I feel like my first year was last year. Sometimes I'm scared because I don't want to stop playing baseball, you know? I just want to stop [aging] right here. I'm 32. Stop! And keep playing. Time goes too fast, man."

@cmccoskyCabrera is the 15th player to reach 400 in his age-32 season. He has 262 as a Tiger, tied with Willie Horton for fourth

Victor Martinez, .141/.242/.153 against RHPs, likely to the DL.
Unfortunately he can't be reinstated to face LHPs (.462/.516/.654).
Also unfortunate that Bengie Molina (with his brothers strapped to his back) would likely beat Martinez in a sprint.

"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.
