Tigers vs. rangers ALCS Game 3 Thread Oct. 11

Don freakin Kelly in the 5 hole, like him or hate him, that has to be a huge confidence boost for him.

Eh, he's batted 3rd, hell he's even batted 4th before.

And he batted 2nd against the Yanks in game 5.

And with how he's hit so far in the postseason, I don't see how his confidence could be any higher.

Hopefully he can continue to forget that sucks (and yes, he even sucks for a 25th man) and put up some good numbers, because Leyland will probably continue to give him ABs.

I'm glad you posted this, because every time you bitch about Kelly sucking, he goes on a tear.

Thanks buddy.

KalineCountry[/color]]Just in case,
Because you have to do it this time of the postseason: Pitchers BP. Verlander just hit back-to-back shots into LF seats.

Maybe he is availble to pinch hit for Avila tonight.

maybe.

Verlander hit so many BP home runs I lost count. But struggled to bunt against faster pitching machine. So no, he won't be hitting third.

Verlander may crush em in BP, but he has always looked silly trying to hit during IL.

Only pitchers I'd look forward to having hit are Porcello and Penny.

Joel Zumaya makes his way to field for batting practice, gives Leyland a big hug.

Injured Tigers RP Joel Zumaya: "it kind of chaps my butt not to be out here" in ALCS.

Asked how he was feeling, Zumaya said "I'd like to say I'm feeling crappy, because every time I say 'good' I get hurt".

Zumaya said he is throwing with more ease than any other time in his career. Also said his velocity is up. assume since ST. But we won't be seeing 110 mph.

Zumaya says he's feeling really good, throwing hard with less effort. Hopes to be back with Tigers next year. He's a free agent this winter.

Zumaya: "I don't feel like going anywhere else. I started here and I wish I could end here".

yeah, Porcello especially.

Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks will make his first career postseason start in place of the injured Delmon Young, who was a late scratch Tuesday afternoon.

Dirks was announced as Young

Lets face it 22 LOB's in two games is the difference in winning and losing. i think all we had in five games verses NY was around 26 or 27 LOB's so if Miguel and Victor hit we will most likely win if they don't we will most likely lose...

Anyway I will have a few whammy's out but going light since the father had 4 hour surgery today to fix a leg that had arteries clogged.... Maybe the Tigers can win one for my pop's tonight... He likes all of the players but especially roots for Ramon Santiago who he call's 'My little Buddy' I hope the Tigers have a big night hitting and get back in this series.... Be back later..

Go Tigers...

You mean he's done it once.

I've bitched about Kelly all year, and he's suck all year.

Other than game 5 against the Yankees, he hasn't done shit.

And I'll continue to bitch about Kelly because he's a bad baseball player.

Regardless of the lineup, I like the matchup.

Lewis sucks so I think the offense will finally put more than 3 runs across the plate tonight.

Cabrera did show signs of breaking out of his slump with the double and just missed that HR. All it takes to break out of a slump is talent, and he has plenty of that.

I think the Tigers take this one easily.

Tigers have to win, for Bob's dad, after Aretha Franklins' beautiful and inspiring singing of Our National Anthem and for Tigers fans everywhere.
