Letting this pitcher off the hook with only 2 runs.

Heh I was thinking JV might try to steal.

Peralta with a line drive single to left,

Raburn 2 and 1, fastball inside, and he drives the ball to the wall in right for an opposite field rbi double, good for you Raburn,

Tigers lead 2 - 0,

Laird takes a fastball high, changeup outside and low, fastball barely catches the inside corner strike call, check swing strike call by the drunk tomato face first base ump, fouls it back, popped to second,

Verlander 0 for 21 in his career, swings and misses, swings and misses, both at 89, fastball off the corner Good Eye JV, grounder to short and Raburn running on contact throw to third and Raburn is out, JV at first,

Jackson strike call on the corner, big swing and miss on a changeup, called out on strikes,

cubs pitcher with 39 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 0.

Tigers just don't run the bases well period, Raburn included. When that throw to the plate to get Peralta wasn't cut off, no excuse for Raburn not taking third - should have been on third when Verlander hit the ground ball.

Reds destroying the Indians right now.

Mensa Society calling Ryan Raburn.

 

[spockmaster]

no-hitter watch is over.

Agressive hitters tend to be successful against Verlander, frustrating.

 

[tinselwolverine]

JV might not be on his A game today - a couple of pretty hard hit balls in the 1st innning, and 2nd inning starting like this.

Makes sense to not get behind a pitcher like Verlander. I'd swing at the first pitch that looked too to me.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Shit!

 

[biggunsbob]

WTF come on Justin...

 

[johnny2x2x]

Tie fucking game, damnit!

 

[biggunsbob]

Fucking brain-dead 0-2 pitch..... Come on Justin you have to be better then that...

 

[buddyboy2121]

Jesus JV, you don't have to catch that much of the plate. Try to get calls against these guys, better off doing that since they tend to swing at anything that is close to a strike.

 

[biggunsbob]

WTF is wrong with our pitchers...Jesus I need to sing a bit to calm down...

 

[tigermud]

What the hell is wrong with JV this year man, how the hell do you let these chumps knock you around like that after 0-2 counts. good gaawd, He has not been justin like every since that near no hitter against PItts.

 

[spockmaster]

damnit.

 

[buddyboy2121]

I've noticed that the last few times when JV has gotten into any sort of a jam he trashes his gameplan. He needs to stop dialing it up to 99 in the second inning, he is getting away from pitching the ball and just hurling it as hard as possible.
