Tigers vs. orioles Game Thread September 24

Considering Pedro Martinez dominated in 99 and received none, I doubt he had a true shot at it anyways..

It is not just domination, but the competition. JV has the advantage of not having to a dominant favorite for MVP and several candidates are from the same team (Cano and Grandy, Pedroia and Ellsbury and Gonzo).

Pedro received more 1st place votes in 1999 than Pudge.

I stand corrected, but probably the most dominant pitching season in arguable 30 years and he didn't win the MVP.. I think if someone is going to argue for Clemens, they have to look at Pedro in 99..

 

[tigers99888]

Awesome way to respond here with this joke ass inning..

 

[spockmaster]

[tycobb420]

Hope JV gets it out of his system.

 

[xer0]

[spockmaster]

it shpuld be 2 on 1 out, fucking ump.

 

[tigers99888]

This lineup is making joke contact to up in the zone pitches..

 

[turok]

Unless the HP ump is squeezing JV, the last inning was one of his typical past seasonal brainfart innings where he fucks up, then regains his composure for the remainder of the IP.

Pedro in 99 or 00 was the most dominant. Some honorable mentions to Clemens in 86 and 97. Gooden in 85. JV this year. Randy Johnson in 01 and 02. Not sure if I am forgetting anyone.

 

[spockmaster]

id rather him get this out of his system now, before the playoffs.

 

[tigers99888]

I think if Inge and Santiago were starting, a couple of those singles would have been groundouts in the infield.. Starting Raburn and Kelly was playing somewhat with fire.. Kelly is just not that great at 3rd, and Raburn blows period..

I credit the o's bats a lot. They were behind in counts and hitting well located balls... They were pretty much all seeing eye singles. Just sucked.

The last two singles were well hit, but the first two were weak.. I think an average infield would have gotten to those balls..

 

[tycobb420]

The Orioles have not given up. They could have easily thrown in the towel on their 90+ loss season.

 

[tycobb420]

Verlander and Weaver now tied for ERA lead.

 

[tigers99888]

Another bomb... Yeah no triple crown for JV..

 

[biggunsbob]

Jesus JV just not paying attention..
