2013 AL Central

[Jimbo]

Tigers have been No Hit thru 9 innings ... no score bottom of the ninth.

For the Record, Henderson Alverez is the Marlin pitcher with the No No today.

Btw, looks like if the Tigers get to the 10th, Alverez is going back for the 10th !

Bs. This is why I hate Leyland. Your offense is already struggling. So sit them for a week. Btw no excuse for not getting a hit today there are capable hitters in that lineup. Pathetic. This is why I was complaining two weeks ago. Now we go to Oakland for two games. Smart managing.

Capable hitters in the line up ?
Not many.

Tigers lose on a Wild Pitch, 1-0 ....

Great showing against the crappy Marlins to end the season. Way to rev up for the playoffs.

What a sad way to finish up the season.

They go limping into the playoffs, I know they rested players but no excuse

Remember, the Tigers have "Rested" players all year long ... this way they are fresh thruout the year and into the playoffs.

Did anyone See the Tigers today and what did you think of Verlander, I know I posted his stats, but didn't see the game when he was in it, just wondered if he's close to the OLD Verlander yet, his last few outings have been better.

and mercifully the Twins season is done

also the last person to get a no hitter with his team winning in the bottom of the 9th was (I love this name) VIRGIL TRUCKS

It was quite a well pitched game on both sides.

I think Alverez would have been back out in the 19th inning as well ... you don't see that very often. I think he ended up throwing under 100 pitches.

funny note about Virgil Trucks.....pitched 2 no hitters in the same year yet finished 5-19 that year

Now that the Playoffs are scheduled to begin (minus the Rangers-TB thing) how do you think the AL Central teams will fare in the first round.

Tigers over As
Indians over TB or Rangers

I agree ...

It's gonna be a tough series with Oakland regardless.

Scherzer to start Game 1 @ Oakland, while Cleveland starts Salazar tomorrow against Tampa.

I listed Tigers rotation in the MLB Post Season thread.

Leyland has decided on Scherzer, Verlander, Sanchez and Fister in that order.
I could have seen if they would have used Verlander as the third pitcher as well but with him pitching better of late, they will probably be fine.

 

[riffjim4069]

I'm satisfied with that pitching rotation...just as long as Porcello is moved to the bullpen.

Thats already been done, he was in the pen for the Miami series and maybe the one before that .... thats about the time I heard about it.

 

[riffjim4069]

I'm just a little concerned about two things: 1) Miggy's health...he's still going to be something less than 100% and, based on the past couple months, is prone to re-injury and 2) Tigers went into auto-pilot mode the last week of the season and will have to put on their baseball thinking caps. Regardless, I think they'll come out swinging and take it to the As.
