That A Boy Jimmy

[lions2011]

fully rested bullpen and you leave your starter in there....

well done Sir.

 

[tinselwolverine]

When should he have pulled him?

And for whom?

Yeah, obviously - right before he gave up the game tying home run, and for anybody else.

What would you have posted if he had pulled Scherzer, and the reliever had given up the home run?

"Way to go, Jimmy, Boy, pull your hot starter when he's on a roll?"

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

I wouldn't second guess the decision to keep max out there.

Up one run with a decent pitch count.....

 

[mikem2780]

He had thrown less than 90 pitches. No need to pull him there

 

[hellifino]

only thing Jimmy might have done wrong, was pulling Benoit early.










and having Perry on the Roster.

Agreed.

Prototypical case of 20/20 hindsight.

 

[tycobb420]

Leaving Max in was not the problem. Were they going to bring in Perry and then Coke and then Benoit?

Leave Benoit in for another inning and lose him for tonight?

a possible win in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, we might not even need him again in the series.

Nelson Cruz could stand at the plate with a whiffle bat right now and mash balls into the plutosphere. Max made a boo-boo and Cruz delivered a seat-seeking missile.

 

[cmlfactor]

Scherzer was throwing great...he was facing his last hitter....he hung a pitch to a hot hitter and got burned. What can you do? The offense is losing these games right now not the pitchers.

 

[jared]

I honestly believe we were 1 batter away from winning that game. I think if Max can get Cruz out there, the Tigers win that one. I think Leyland made the right decision, it just didn't pan out.

Valverde had the right idea, just hit the guy.

 

[lions2011]

bah....should have made the move.

Leylands a putz.

 

[batcave76]

This is the last thing to squawk about.

 

[lions2011]

This is the last thing to squawk about.

true....the fact Austin Jackson has struck out more then you with the female population should garner more of my ire.

 

[tomdalton22]

The reason the Tigers are in an 0-2 hole isn't because of Leyland...it's because Miggy, V-Mart and Avila all suck!

I never said they're down 0 - 2 because of Smokes.

just said he should have made the move to Benoit at the top of the inning.

If the big dogs don't get it done, you're not gonna go very far. That's why they get the big bucks. To come through. The utility player is the best hitter right now. Good lord.

Well I'm not striking out at the Booty Lounge.

Who would you have brought in? Perry? He was bringing in Coke to face the lefties, I'm sure you didn't want to bring Coke in for Cruz, did you? Max was fine he could've went another inning if Jim wanted him too. Hamilton and Cruz crush high strikes or maybe not even strikes and our big boys do
