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.

@Tom_Gage
Grade 3 calf strain for #Tigers Cabrera; out six weeks - mid-August, in other words

Asked to compare Krauss to Cabrera as a hitter, Ausmus said, "He's not quite as good."

"We won't know until we find out." -- Joe Morgan

"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."

J.D. Martinez HR traveled 467 feet, according to Statcast.

OVER the roof of the CF camera well.

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.

The ball landed a little higher than that, in the bushes, though.

So are we officially in 'the next Phillies' mode?

not until miggy stops raking

and being more than 15 months removed from scooping up j.d. martinez

4-6 since the break -- all games against other sub-.500 teams.

Hoping your home team loses is a strange feeling.

Shit -- anyone want Verlander? Sell high.

back in it!

@beckjason
First double-digit strikeout game with no walks for Justin Verlander since Sept. 24, 2010. 5th of his career.

No, mookieproof, no.

Game scores: Verlander 80, Archer 78.

"Rebooting"

*whew*

Norris on relation to 2nd cousin Brad Ausmus: "It’s like my mom’s dad’s daughter’s husband or something like that? Second cousin’s dog?"

@beckjason
Ausmus: "I just want outs, whether we're related or not."

@Lynn_Henning
Toledo muscleman Mike Hessman just hit a monstrous grand slam at Fifth Third Field. It makes him the all-time minor league HR hitter: 433.

Waiting for the lengthy Mitch Albom profile with a subheading for every other paragraph.
