He pushed that ball into fair territory. 2 on now.

It would have landed foul, but he touched it in fair territory, so even if it had landed foul, it's still in play.

can we get a big hit...jeez come on boys

 

[spockmaster]

this team has been fucking awful with runners on base this series, just plain awful. 10 hits, only 2 runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

shoot.

 

[spockmaster]

oh look, ajax fails again. he's playing like shit right now. the whole team is just falling apart for no reason.

I don't know what would be better. To win this with a come from behind and take a good feeling, or to just lose it and take some RAGE into the series with CLE.

The other question would be if the team would actually play with rage.

True, Leyland wants a team full of dirtballs or however he put it, but maybe that's just not us.

Time to earhole Moss.

Sometimes they also just seem to be going through the motions.

 

[spockmaster]

oh look, we finally managed to get moss out.

They can't score on Putkonen....I guess he wasn't on the advanced scouting list.

The As must not have sent scouts to Toledo. This is fucking embarrassing. Its like watching the World Series again and just watch your team get dominated because of completely superior coaching and scouting.


and also maybe cheating. i never discount that.

Maybe they just didn't have a handle on the signs for him.

 

[spockmaster]

can someone remind me why the black hole of fucking suck is hitting 2nd?

 

[lonesometiger]

Tigers needs hits Tigers need hits

That's kinda why I posted it. Crushed every pitcher they've seen but couldn't score on the 1 guy who wasn't on the roster until a few days ago.

I said this back in game 2 or at the latest very early game 3, these a's are doing something very unethical. Every Tigers starter and reliever is getting clobbered.
Someone somewhere in a deep hidden part of Comerica or from a vantage point of a nearby building has to be tipping what pitch is coming.
The advance scouting is how they have kept the Tigers hitter from doing any real damage, pitching to their weak tendencies of chasing low and away, or down and in or up and fast,
knowing they do not grind out at bats and are for the most part impatient hacks.
But the a's batters definitely know something..........really, the best rotation of a team in the league is getting clobbered nearly every damn inning??

We should have started Reed, Putkonen, Ortega, and Jurrjens.
