Growing up in Goochland, Virginia, John Hicks hung around the baseball field, watching just about every game his brother Daniel and his best friend, a stud pitcher named Justin Verlander, played.Hicks and his brother celebrated the night Verlander was drafted and they’ve remained close all through Verlander’s brilliant career.Imagine the thrill Daniel Hicks must have felt when he got a text message from Verlander Monday night — something to effect of “Hey, your little brother is catching me tomorrow.”“My brother is probably more excited about it than Justin or I am,” Hicks said.It will certainly be a big night for the folks in Goochland — two of their native sons comprising the starting battery for the Tigers.

“He’s obviously struggling,” Ausmus said of Rodriguez. “He’s not throwing the ball the way he wants to or like we want him to. There’s no way around it.”Rodriguez, who publicly complained about pitching in mop-up roles on June 13, has since allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings, including two home runs while pitching in higher-leverage situations. He has allowed nine home runs in 25 1/3 innings this season.

Missed that. Yeesh.
Gibson's demeanor might be affected by Parkinson's. He's easily the league's most laid back commentator and maybe the planet's least excitable uptalker.

Will definitely tune in to more DET games because of that. I didn't think he had any particularly great (or bad) insights, but listening to him was like a pleasant soak in a jacuzzi.

Gibson and Rod Allen alternate and occasionally work simultaneously. Gibson's pretty hit and miss. Every now and then he says something hilarious with such subtlety that no one else in the booth picks up on it.

@beckjasonJordan Zimmermann is first Tiger to give up 7+ ER in 3 consecutive starts since Tommy Bridges in 1935, according to @baseball_ref.
@beckjasonJordan Zimmermann: "I'm not that concerned. I think it's a pretty simple fix. It's just finding that problem."
Cool. Only the second-worst ERA (6.11) among qualified MLB starters. Plenty of season left.

James McCann gets tossed for arguing balls/strikes. A couple of pitches later, replacement catcher seems to get crossed up and the ball puts the umpire flat on his back (he stayed in the game). Cleveland booth says O RLY?

The color commentary that followed on the Indians broadcast drew Ausmus’ ire.The suggestion was made that Farmer and Hicks intentionally hit Wolcott for Ausmus and McCann’s accusations that the strike zone was unfair early in the 5-3 loss to the Indians, who set the American League record with their 21st consecutive win.“To imply that was intentional is, first of all, a lie,” Ausmus said. “If any player intentionally tried to hurt an umpire on this team, we’d deal with it severely.“For anyone to imply it was intentional is completely wrong. They are out of line in saying that, quite frankly.”

“For anyone to imply it was intentional is completely wrong. They are out of line in saying that, quite frankly.”
Hicks did not turn to check on Wolcott, as is often custom with catchers and umps, and instead conferred with Farmer, as if to indicate they were confused about signs.Farmer and Hicks offered similar denials.“Obviously, it looked bad right after Brad and (McCann) got tossed,” Hicks said. “But it’s bases loaded and we’re trying to win a baseball game. Any thought of us trying to do that on purpose is just ridiculous.”
