Princess needs to step it up in the post season, his post season numbers aren't very good

With the single, Miguel Cabrera has reached base safely in 26 consecutive postseason games with the Tigers.

I wish we had seen a few more curves than the one Jackson got. He still has a clear advantage second time around.

1st pitch strike

 

[SpartyNash]

Who is the old guy who does color commentary? He reminds me of the commentator on those old MLB Slugfest video games for those who ever used to play those like I did.

 

[lonesometiger]

1 down on 6 pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Batters hit .089/.110/.114 against Sonny Gray's curveball this year.
74 curves Gray has thrown below the zone, batters have swung and missed in 20 of 31 tries. Just two hits.

Good sign for JV...they called the high strike.

I know the protocol, here:

Don Kelly is starting?! wtf!

This is his cue to turn into Don freaking kelly.

Well, Dirks was terrible last night and I don't want to see Peralta in LF...

 

[lonesometiger]

1st K 2 down on 11 pitches

 

[LGRW_9]

Sweet fastball to Lowrie.

 

[lonesometiger]

[lonesometiger]

V -Mart will make him throw strikes.

 

[lonesometiger]

full count

 

[johnny2x2x]

Love the grinding ABs early in the game. Get this kids count up and also see some of his stuff.

 

[lonesometiger]

8 pitch AB

 

[twentythree]

FWIW, listening to ESPN radio announcers is much less annoying.
