Tigers vs. redsox ALCS Game 6 Preview.

The last 4 times the #ALCS has featured a 3-2 lead, the team to lose Game 5 has gone on to win series.

The Tigers are 3-4 in Game 6’s of best-of-7 series, including 1-3 on road.

Just figure out a way to win tonight.

 

[spockmaster]

I hope we win. A Sox-Cards World Series would be an abomination.

 

[Thumb]

Whatever happens tonight, Thank You Tigers players, coaches, management, owners, broadcasters, etc. for another great season.

Mlb network seems to know why prince is struggling, says his timing mechanism is off, toe tap occurring too late...always kinda amazes me how these analysts networks seem to be able to figure out what's wrong with a given player in just a day or two whereas coaches don't? Maybe it's more resources pouring over video that allows for that? They broke miggy down the other day also, and puig recently to, seems they get it pegged pretty quickly...idk just pondering out loud why it seems to take a given teams own coaches much longer...

The Eagles and Bills of the NFL if we lose. Its nice to get into the playoffs, again, but not winning the prize - the season becomes a disappointment.

 

[kalinecountry]

I feel the same as what Thumb and Mitch posted.

We have had some great seasons and great individual player seasons to be proud of.
3 straight ALCS, Miggy, JV, and Max, Winning MVP, Cy Young and odds on to win another Cy Young. The payroll keeps going up, signing and trading to upgrade the team and weak spots.

The disappointment being not winning the 4th game of a World Series, and waiting since 1984, and knowing the still weak spots, the bench, bullpen which took a blow early on with Dotel's elbow the size of a grapefruit, and now Rondon for the last 6 weeks.

Their are more mlb radio and tv people talking about what the truth is and will come out as not to be surprised that Miggy has been playing with a sports hernia, which would have cost him about 2 months in surgery recuperating and timing back.

Fielder is 2d player to go 10 straight postseason games without an RBI after a 100-RBI season.

In batting practice, Miguel Cabrera hit a ball over the Second wall in Centerfield here in Fenway.

 

[biggunsbob]

It is all or nothing ..Win the WS or the season is a disappointment.. Thanks for trying but it I not enough now..

 

[gotime909]

Let's try to be positive on here tonight!! Maybe it's our negativity on this forum that's bringing the team down. lol

 

[biggunsbob]

Go tigers!!!!!

 

[tigermud]

Would be a great time for max's first ever complete game

 

[manchild98]

Gotta hit Buttholz again tonight because hitting the bull pen has been an impossible task against the Red Sox this postseason.

 

[byco42]

Would be a great time for max's first ever complete game

Only if he has about 80 pitches after 7 innings.

 

[manchild98]

Nice AB Torii.

 

[mhughes0021]

hard to be worse in the post season than Fielder....but toriii easily out-sucks him. As he gets an IF hit

 

[johnny2x2x]

Nice way to start. Cabby has some making up for to do.

 

[mhughes0021]

Gotta hit Buttholz again tonight because hitting the bull pen has been an impossible task against the Red Sox this postseason.

but if we hit buttholz then we get their BP.....the Asian persuasion.

 

[manchild98]

Hunter just said I have 3 stolen bases.

 

[byco42]

WHy the hell is Joe West moving on the throws to 1B?
