Berry swings and misses a changeup, at the knees strike call, fastball outside, low in the dirt, changeup high and away full count, grounder towards first and the pitcher gloves it and shovels it to no one there rolls away goes after it and falls on his ass, and Infante scores, single and E1,

this ump has a wide zone if JV could just start missing by 2 ft instead of 4. C'Mon JV pound the zone these guys are taking a tone of pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Berry has 2 H & a SB in his 1st postseason game -- 1st Tiger to do so in 1st postseason game since Matty McIntyre on 10/10/1908.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander pitching 4th inning,

FF reddick on a full count and that fat fuck ump eric cooper at third says he didn't go around walk,

donaldson 2 and 1, swings and misses, again, sit down ya shitbum,

ff smith grounder to Infante nearer to first throws to Peralta for the force,

norris 2 and 0 and JV gets squeezed on the corner by this inconsistent home plate ump, now a low strike, pop up to very shallow left and Jhonny races out there with his walker and has it,

JV with 78 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.

 

[jas5lf]

Congrats to Berry, but I gotta believe that second hit is going to be changed.

He was going to be out easily if the pitcher had not goofed up the scoop on that ball.

Tigers hitting 4th inning,

Young first pitch rides up and in and hits him on the left hand,

Dirks takes a high changeup, parker can't control that pitch with cold air? fastball fly to left center,

Peralta takes a strike, changeup outside, takes low, grounds the 2 seam foul, another off speed is way inside full count, drilled deep down left but foul, Delmon and his cement shoes running and fouled down right, swings and misses into a dp, fk,

parker with 60 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.

 

[jas5lf]

Fuck. Three times in a row they try it. Peralta was bound to swing through one of those pitches.

 

[Thumb]

That right there is why Garcia should be DH'ing over Young.

 

[biggunsbob]

Way to much of the plate on a 1-2 pitch..... Our guys just never learn..

 

[jas5lf]

Need a DP here to end the inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

This umpire is really bad... For both sides...

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander pitching 5th inning,

pennington swings and misses, curve strike call, changeup low, changeup instead of a fastball and a grounder up the middle,

FF crisp 1 and 1, and Dan and Jim can't believe some of the strike calls that are off the outside corner, shallow fly to left and Berry's speed gets it,

need a double play now,

drew changeup low, swings and misses letter high fastball, fastball at the knees strike call, throw to first, called strike three wow, and now drew is bitching and the a's dugout, GFY,
go on the dl like your brother,

groucho cespedes swings and misses in the dirt delmon style, grounder to Miggy throws to second for the force,

JV with 91 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.

 

[af1991]

Is anyone listening to ESPN radio? Some idiot calling the game keeps referring to AA as OV-ula.

 

[Thumb]

Avila!!!

3-1

 

[biggunsbob]

Yes!!!!!!

 

[tigermud]

Alex!

With that one swing he's already had a better post season than last year!
