Tigers vs. a's Game 5 Thread Oct. 10

Not positive but I think that this was Torrii Hunter's first taste of postseason series success.

2002 & 2009 he was part of a series win.

Now they are saying that sonny gray was pitching with a broken thumb,

stories out soon,

probably from sucking on it to hard after Miggy hit the Bomb!!

Then Melvin should take a shitload of heat for not having Colon warmed up and ready to pitch.

He pitched well during the series but its a surprise they didn't go with the veteran.

Dan Dickerson calls the Tigers' ALDS victory.

The Elias Sports Bureau said Verlander's 30 consecutive scoreless postseason innings against the A's are a record for one pitcher against one team. The previous record was held by the New York Giants' Christy Mathewson, who had 28 scoreless innings against the Athletics from 1905-11.
Verlander joined some elite company -- Josh Beckett, Tim Lincecum, Nolan Ryan, Ed Walsh, and Cliff Lee -- with a postseason start of eight or more innings, two or fewer hits, 10 or more strikeouts, and one walk or fewer.
Speaking of elite company, Verlander is the second pitcher in MLB history with 10 or more strikeouts and zero runs allowed in back-to-back postseason games.
The other? Sandy Koufax in 1965.
