Tigers vs. orioles Game Thread July 15

Team LOB - 10.

We want to catch the Sox we gotta start getting guys home from 3rd more often with less than 2 outs, this is pathetic.

 

[tigermud]

Cleveland lost, 2nd place if we hang on.

JV set him up flaherty for the letter high fastball swing and a miss,

malaka flys out to Berry,

hardy getting the heat full count, gets him to chase something low looked like a slider,

JV with 117 pitches,

Tigers lead 3 - 0.

Benoit and Coke throwing, JV at 117 pitches.

Hopefully Smokes lets it ride.

Damn, Radio says JV is done...got the pat on the back from Leyland.

Means Coke probably faces Thome....

Need a run or two here.

Thank you Miguel.

With eight shutout innings today, Verlander has allowed just one run over his last 18.0 innings dating back to 6/29.

JV with 117 pitches thru 8 innings...8 strikeouts, 3 hits, retired 16 of last 17 batters he faced.

Cabrera just drilled it to right center for a homerun,

Tigers lead 4 - 0.

 

[kalinecountry]

Cabrera with homerun number 20, 73 rbi, another multi hit game top 3 in that and also base hits,
Just went over 3000 total bases for his career, and needs 3 more homeruns for 300. All at age 29.

[tigermud]

Coming home in 2nd place, huge home stand coming up, HUGE, defining sink or swim home stand IMO.... huge I tells ya HUGE!

Exhale.

Awesome performance by JV today after getting roughed up a little at the AS Game, comes back and pitches a gem.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I guess the people worried about his AS stinker can finally admit, AS game doesn't mean jack.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers win 4 - 0,
JV wins his 10th on the year,
Tigers victory cigar.

Final line for Justin (10-5): 8IP, 3H, 0R, 2BB/8K....lowers ERA to 2.43, and 2.04ERA last 7GS, with 12BB/50K in 53IP.
Verlander now has 13 games with 8-plus IP, 3 H or less. All-time leader is Nolan Ryan with 90.

JV was great, IP is an underrated stat, boy did we need him to go 8 innings today, and he did just that, picking us up after a tough tough loss.

Went to the game today, lots of Tigers fans as usual. I saw Lions head coach Jim Schwartz there, he's from Baltimore so I don't know who he was rooting for.

He's probably trying to sign Prince as a Defensive End.
