Tigers vs. a's ALDS Game Thread 1 Oct. 6

[kalinecountry]

Verlander is first pitcher in Tigers history to have multiple 10+ SO games during post-season play.

 

[mhughes0021]

wow that 2-2 was a great pitch....dont know how he got a piece of that.

but that one he cant. he gone! 11!

 

[jas5lf]

Throws a laser to K Norris.

 

[spockmaster]

shortarmed that one.

 

[tigermud]

That 2-2 pitch to Pennington looked good to me. Ump calling wide strikes outside and inside but not getting the bottom and top.

 

[Thumb]

Get a couple runs for Benoit's sake please.

 

[mhughes0021]

That 2-2 pitch to Pennington looked good to me.

cant believe he didnt swing....that ball was in the zone 99.9% of its flight.

 

[Mitchrapp]

JV is good for another inning.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Verlander dealing but at 120 pitches.

 

[spockmaster]

7 strong from Justin. lets just hope that either we can score a bunch more or that benoit and valverde dont suck.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander pitching 7th inning,

FF smith changeup strike call, again, 97 letter high swings and misses,

JV now has 10 strikeouts,

norris 2 and 1, swings and misses a hard biting slider, fastball fouled back, swings and misses a belt high 98,

11 k's for JV,

Five straight strikeouts for Verlander, and a career playoff-high matching 11 strikeouts on the night,

pennington changeup outside, swings and misses a changeup, fastball at the knees, fastball fouled back, slider just inside pennington freezes full count, fuck in the dirt for a walk,

BenwaBalls warming up,

this asshole crisp grounds out to Prince,

JV with 7 innings, 121 pitches, 1 run, 3 hits, 3 walks, 11 Strikeouts,

Tigers lead 3 - 1.

 

[mhughes0021]

Get a couple runs for Benoit's sake please.

[hellifino]

we hope JV comes back out, fucking smoker might think he's not a horse.

 

[mhughes0021]

JV with 7 innings, 121 pitches, 1 run, 3 hits, 3 walks, 11 Strikeouts,

Tigers lead 3 - 1.

meh let him go 150!

 

[kalinecountry]

JV got the handshake of doom from Leyland.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander now has 59 Ks in 49 playoff innings. He was already the Tigers all-time leader in playoff Ks and is now 3rd in innings.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

JV has generally had some rough outings in the postseason...Best one of his I can recall.

 

[mhughes0021]

JP missed the hanger :/

 

[drivergreg]

Did they just call him Josh Peralta?

 

[Thumb]

Gotta pull JV and have him ready in case we need him for game 5.

I can't seriously believe people want him to go 140-150 pitches.
