Everyone has a hit tonight cept for Raburn.

He's lucky everything else is going on tonight because those boos were getting loud the past 2 games.

 

[manchild98]

Good luck with that pitch.

Wow, the Pirates lineup is horrific.

After McCutchen they have one other player with an OBP over .300, and that's Neil Walker whose hitting .260/.313/.321.

And that's with a DH in their lineup.

I think JV goes the full 9 tonight with 12 strikeouts and no ER.

You might have shorted him a few K's, but pretty good guess.

Haha, I was gonna put with no more than 3 hits too, but didn't want to get greedy.

 

[manchild98]

The one time when I don't actually want to see our guys get hits.

Tigers 8th inning,

Santiago takes a curve low, lined deep to right off the wall for a leadoff double,

Peralta takes a fastball low, curve for a strike call, chases a curve on/off the corner, off speed low, fastball in on the hands and hit to left center drops in barely with cf getting a glove on it and can't hold it, Santiago holds up and can only get to third on the double,

I was actually thrilled with Raburn's at bat this time. 3 quick pitches as usual.

 

[manchild98]

The crowd will be nuts.
