Understatement: Nice start by Verlander.

Go get the Red Sox!

How will Scherzer's relief outing in Game 4 effect the Tigers starting rotation? Will he pitch after Sanchez? I hope Sanchez has a good start in Game 1 because he can be dominant when he's in a groove.

Never mind. I just noticed Max is schedule to pitch Game 2 on Sunday.

Ya it's pretty much the same as it was originally, it's Sanchez turn to start and then they will start the rotation over.
Sanchez, Scherzer, Verlander in game 3 and Fister in game 4.

This will allow Verlander to go in game 7 if it gets that far I believe I heard.

Getting excited about tonight's game @ Fenway. And I'm really excited to see JV pitching like JV once again. Go Tigers!

For those that may have missed it ...
Tigers Phil Coke was added to the Post Season roster, Luke Putokenen has been removed and Bruce Rondon is still out.

Great game last night. I watched it but was unable to post.

Jhonny Peralta has been worth his weight in gold here in the playoffs. Great move bring him back.

You wouldn't think that the Red Sox would have a 1.38 ERA through 13 innings and have a good chance to be down 0-2. That's what happens when the Tigers have a 0.00 ERA and have held them to only 1 hit.

I hope our great pitching continues...but I would love some runs, runs and more runs.

Leyland snatches defeat from the Jaws of victory. Please retire your old ass. Please.

That was great starting pitching wasted.

I was pretty worried when Hunter went over the wall. If he'd caught the ball, what would the call have been?

Had he caught it, I was an out.
He said he was going full speed when he got to the wall.
Says hes fine.

Personally, I think he over ran the ball, would have had it had he been able to slow down a bit.
Gotta give him an A for effort.

Being objective, although last night was a painful loss it was only one game and we set out what we had hoped to do...split the first two games in Boston. Go Tigers!

Yup,
Last Friday, I said to the guy at work when talking about the upcoming weekend games... 2 games in Boston, I hope we split.
I figured that Max would probably win and Sanchez, well ya never know.

Sundays lose was only 1 game, forget about it and move on to Tuesday, get the relievers corrected in the off day, and while their at it, skip this garbage of having to pitch certain people in certain innings, if my starter is going good thru 7, let him pitch the 8th an look at the 9th.


Heres hoping JV pitches well and keeps the pitch count down.

A split is great if you lose the first. Win the first and be up 5-1 in the 8th of the second and a split is a disappointment. I worry more about a shift in momentum than anything else.

On the other hand, Verlander can shift momentum all on his own.

Yep I agree a split was the goal. Problem is they had a 2-0 lead coming home before they imploded With more realistic shot of not having to go back to Boston. Now they just might.

Nice too see the bats wake up!

Can we talk about all this in the playoff thread? I don't come into this thread and would really like to see all this discussed in the playoff thread.
