Tigers vs. bluejays Game Thread August 21

Why did we not keep Lyon?

 

[manchild98]

Agreed.

But again, he had no choice, was a great move by Toronto to bring in a Right handed PH.

Which now makes you think we can pretty much never bring Coke in during a tight game as long as the other team has a righty on the bench...which of course they will.

Heh, Infante goes 0-4 but gets 2 RBI.

Or only bring him in against a LHB you know wont get PH for.

But it's not like Coke is good against lefties either, at best he's so-so.

Yeah I know. Could Leyland have countered their move with another pitcher? Or once Coke is called upon he has to pitch?

 

[coulomb]

& youkilis hits a fucking grandslam.

man that team is irritating.

they seem to hit hrs at will.

 

[manchild98]

Hard to believe we have a chance to win a game where we've blown endless opportunities like we have tonight.

I think that is the rule...once there is a pinch hitter then the reliever has to face him.

Okay, I wasn't certain on that rule.

 

[tigermud]

I'm really starting to hate the white soxs

You cannot remove a pitcher from a game who has not yet faced 1 batter.

Except maybe injury.

Does he just have to throw just 1 pitch....although no manager is going to pull him after 1 pitch.

 

[gotime909]

???

Once Coke came in he has to face a batter, they pinch hit after Coke came on.

Everyone on the planet knew that they would PH for Johnson there. He's absolutely horrible against Lefties. Almost twice as many k's as hits. Just plain bad managing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man that looked good to me

 

[gotime909]

Agreed.

It was the ONLY move there! Apparently you and Leyland are the only 2 that didn't see that coming.

 

[tazmac]

When did Delmon get back into LF?

 

[manchild98]

Defensive replacement.

Leyland should have just put Benoit in after it was 5-2.

 

[tigermud]

Berry got schooled on that one, if we lose this it's going to be a really bad thing.
