Tigers vs. mariners Game Thread September 17

Goddamnit. Damned if we do, damned if we dont. Sanchez probably should have been pulled, but al al or coke probably wouldve allowed the runs anyways. Stupid short bullpen.

Yeah. I was thinking that at the start of the 7th then realized the bullpen is short, something that should never happen in September.

Has anyone seen Darin Downs even warm up yet since his recall?

there are definitely two versions of Al Al. The good one is very good. The bad one....well....he sucks ass! Let's hope we have the good one tonight and he can get through the 8th.

then you swing away with the corner IF pulled in. We are not used to a good bunter on the Tigers but it can be an effective tool.

That is something Iggy must work on though. If he gets so caught up in trying to leg out singles, once the corner infielders are brought in, will be be able to produce? My point of all of this is that yes, he's had a good year, but it's ridiculous to think defenses will even allow him to get this many infield hits in the future.. and infield hits are the difference between a .315 BA and a .240 BA.

Every time al al comes in and doesn't give up a run, I count it as a lucky escape.

Hogan is ok with me... I really don't care who they use...

Why are we mad about infield hits? I was running errands earlier and cannot find out why we are mad about them?

damn f'n acorn head hit a homerun, when I was out the 40 minutes.

where the hell was Hunter playing the left batter that got the triple??

Seriously, I wonder if the Tigers should have gone for Victorino and the 3rd year,
Leading all OF'ers in Defensive Runs Saved and maybe assist, and hitting good, at least not chasing nearly as much as Hunter does.

I don't dislike her nearly as much as you guys...but I just don't see her value to the broadcast at all.

It bothers me when they cut to her more than once during a live AB. Also there is something about her that annoys me I cant put my finger on, just one of those people I know I dislike just from looking at her.

And she's on again...

Avila with a triple!!!!!

Holy shit!!!!

 

[biggunsbob]

triple!!!!! chug,chug,chug...

 

[manchild98]

Wow triple for Avila!!!

 

[lonesometiger]

AA was due.

 

[manchild98]

You might want to take a few pitches so Avila can catch his breath.

 

[sggatecl]

The Als are on fire!

 

[jas5lf]

Wow, Avila has been clobbering fastballs lately!

 

[Thumb]

Please, please, please, do not strand him on 3rd.

 

[twentythree]

A triple by a catcher? must have gotten caught in the grass or something.

 

[spockmaster]

Does not compute!

Hunter looked like he was hanging out in front of the out of town scoreboard.

Now steal 2nd.

 

[manchild98]

Iggy HBP. This might be a good thing. They'd take the DP???
