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

[tigermud]

We only "needed" to win one of these in Oakland...just frustrating we are wasting a chance to win this one too.

Agree really should have been to get a couple fen runs and take this one to, it's a damn shame...this offense outta be ashamed of itself

Verlander's Game Score of 79 his second-highest of the year. (Had an 80 when he flirted with a no-hitter at Houston.)

ranks as the 10th-highest Game Score in Tigers postseason history. His Game 5 at Oakland last year is No. 1.

Zero run support in 4 of Verlander's last 7 starts.

f'n hitless wonders.

 

[lonesometiger]

Finish him

 

[tigermud]

It's just like last year, offense nowhere to be found in the post season, just like some of us all feared

 

[spockmaster]

Crisp pulled a Hunter.

 

[mjsb2]

Well, on the plus side, our pitching has been phenomenal through two games.

 

[lonesometiger]

1 down

Dumb managers abound in MLB...I hate the bunt as much as anyone but it was the play with crisp at bat.

 

[mhughes0021]

should have just let Cleveland overtake us if we were just going to get to the playoffs and look at strikes.

 

[lonesometiger]

come on Smyly

 

[Thundercats]

Yeah, only bunt with a runner at 2nd and no one out. I hate bunting a runner from 1st to 2nd, because you still need a hit to score him.

Dumb managers abound in MLB...I hate the bunt as much as anyone bur it was the play with crisp in there.

I hate the bunt as well and the A's have the 2nd fewest bunts in the majors but that just seemed like the spot you absolutely bunt.

[manchild98]

[spockmaster]

[tigermud]

[Thundercats]

Oh shit....he's calling for Al...
