2013 AL Central

[Jimbo]

Oakland Sonny Grey is out, pitched well, gave up 6 hits, but only 2 runs, keeping his team in the game.

Tigers get the first two on in the 6th, need to score here, NO Ground ball DP.

Meanwhile Verlander looks like the Verlander of old !

Run for us! Yea!

Run for us! Yea!

2 on, 2 out, another hit means another run, we want more runs !

Well, at least Jackson didn't strike-out. I think we can put up another run or two on the pitcher the A's have in there. Elsewhere, let's hope JV keeps mowing them down. He looks great!

3-0 Tiger through six. Go Tigers!

Fielder finally has a at bat that he hit hard .

Fwiw, Avila has hit the ball hard tonight with nothing to show for it.

And Martinez has 3 hits tonight.

Two on and two outs again for the Tigers. We need Jhonny to blast another 3-run HR.

I would have taken a base hit.

Tigers have stunk in hitting with runner in scoring position tonight.

 

[riffjim4069]

Hopefully Cabrera, Fielder and Martinez will get another opportunity.

Nice start for Verlander, 6 2/3rds till he gave up a hit !

In game 2 he went 3 2/3rd before giving up a hit and No runs thru 6 .

3-0 Tigers through seven. Need more runs...

Looks like Verlander will make it thru the 8th, settled down in the 8th once he saw the bullpen get up.

Probably Benoit in the ninth.

 

[riffjim4069]

We're through eight and the Tigers are up 3-0. So do you bring in the bullpen or bring JV in for the ninth inning? I say you gotta let JV pitch the ninth if he wishes.

 

[Jimbo]

So, end of 8, J.V. struggled a bit in the 8th, do you let Verlander start the ninth and go from there, or bring in Benoit from the start ?

 

[riffjim4069]

Time for insurance runs. Would be nice for AJ to get a hit.

Jackson struck-out on a ball so far outside that it was seen going under the Golden Gate bridge.

 

[riffjim4069]

3-0 going into the bottom of the 9th. Go Tigers!

 

[riffjim4069]

A's Donaldson looked just as bad at the plate as Jackson.

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers pitching has struck out 57 batters in this five game series - a record.

We Win! It's back to the ALCS!!
