Tigers vs. a's ALDS Game Thread 2 Oct. 5

Why were they fucking running him with Jackson swinging? WTF???

Cuz smoker doesn't have any confidence in the offense either and is trying to force in runs with every base runner

 

[biggunsbob]

fucking swing on a 3-0 count... fucking stupid...

 

[gotime909]

Fuck.....why do we even try shit like that?

Well it kept us out of a DP on Kelly's grounder to 2nd.

40% chance to score that inning....unless your the tigers...then you have like a 80% chance to fuck it up.

Iggy had to have had a bad jump?

It looked like a hit and run, not a steal.

TBS announcers said before the pitch that he should throw a curve, since Jackson is in swing mode; they were half right.

LOL at people questioning a speed runner going on a 3-2 pitch, seriously....LOL

The no hitter gone but really does Verlander have to throw a shut out tonight just to get this game into extra innings, and lose it then!

 

[biggunsbob]

You don't send the runner with a guy who fucking k's so much.... It was stupid..

 

[Thundercats]

Already had to turn this game off. Stop overmanaging, you senile piece of shit! Got the heart of the fucking lineup leading off now instead of with 2 runners on base.. dumb fucking manager.

except there was no hit....and he didn't run very well. maybe smokes called a miss and jog.

It's been this shit all year long. Players not named Dirks/Kelly/Prince can do no fucking wrong, always a Leyland problem.

 

[lonesometiger]

Damm lead off hit!!!!!!!

I was hoping he'd go sooner that that.

Overmanaging...without the first hit and run it was going to be a DP. so yeah...

That's why I wondered if it was a bad jump.

 

[kalinecountry]

That fly to Torii looked catchable,

No problem with that, just with Jackson's complete lack of strike zone and pitch recognition.

C'mon JV knuckle down buddy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Having Jackson swing on 3-0 was not good either... Have to make this kid work...walk loads it up and gives tori or miggy a chance... team just has no patience,

 

[lonesometiger]

Well now need strikeouts now!
