Tigers vs. a's ALDS Game Thread 4 Oct. 10

Game 5, Verlander pitches a gem, O blows and we lose 1-0. Fk.

Verlander probably has to pitch a shutout the way we are hitting..

He'll pitch a shutout and we'll still lose.

 

[biggunsbob]

1-2 count was killer..

This team is shit. Blow the whole thing up and start again.

 

[sggatecl]

Well this is mostly our offenses fault for grounding into a million double plays and squandering baserunner after baserunner in scoring position.

But Valverde is still a worthless POS. Allows three runs in a series ending game? Total piece of shit.

I've been saying it after every game, win or lose and people have been saying the offense is fine. They will probably continue to do so.

Biggest joke of a baseball team EVER

Even with Verlander pitching tomorrow, I think we're going to lose. Our bullpen is fucking terrible, our offense is fucking terrible, and our defense is fucking terrible. If we do choke, you can guarantee that a number of people are gone for sure, hopefully including Leyland. His fetish with bunts likely cost us some runs today by giving up outs with none out and giving away the possibility of a big inning.

I'm going to sleep for two days, wake me up when its over.

Yup probably in the 11th...

This series was lost yesterday. We just don't know it yet...lol.

Offense showing up at all this series would be nice.

 

[tigermud]

this sucks.

Put a fork in 'em..they're done.

 

[pr0tege]

One of the worst defenses in all of baseball - check
One of the worst 5 hitters in all of baseball - check
A horrible 8th inning setup guy - check
An absolutely brutal closer - check

We have so many things going against us this season its an absolute joke. If we get bounced after leading this series 2-0 there HAS to be some ramifications from this.

 

[sggatecl]

Like I said yesterday, we were fortunate to even be up 2-1. This offense is garbage.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I can't watch tomorrow's game. Why be upset for 3 hours when you can wake up in the morning, cuss at your wife and kick your dog.

We weren't fortunately. Not like the A's have been juggernauts. It should be 2-2 but it pisses us off the way the trend is pointing.

This fucks up the entire playoffs even if they win. This basically guarantees that Verlander will not be pitching until game 3 or 4 and the next series and he will only be able to pitch once.

Actually, He would probably be able to pitch the 3rd game on regular rest, and probably the seventh as well. First, we have go win one tomorrow, and given all the clueless hitting, I don't have a lot of confidence in that.
