Miggy has really been struggling since his fast start.

Batting practice pitcher giving everyone fits.

Shinebox showing his athleticism once again. Good grief.

Figures, I just mentioned how Raburn was perfect in chances this year.

That ones my fault.

 

[jdbaker1]

Wings scoreless after 1

 

[jdbaker1]

Young starting to heat up a bit. Would be nice to see him get hot.

Haha, Dickerson said Verlander told him when Leyland went to the mound last night in the 9th, he told Verlander "You're going to get me fired.".

Mudhen with a birthday double. Don't be afraid to slide into 3rd Young.

 

[jdbaker1]

Need to score here, come on Razor Ramon.

 

[manchild98]

Sac fly for Razor Ramon scores Young. Throw was up the line.

Wow, Delbert, Mudhen, and little buddy getting to Chen.

 

[jdbaker1]

Come on Dirks, prove JL's gut right.

I saw that Kaline posted that in another thread. That's why I like Leyland. In a situation like that, he goes out to the mound and that's what he says to his horse.

Made Chen throw a few more pitches at least. :shrug:

Leyland is a pretty funny guy. I didn't really think he should have left JV out there yesterday but it worked out so I guess it was the right decision.

 

[manchild98]

Miggy didn't play that one very well.

Nice recovery Miggy

No, and I wish the radio guys would stop sugar-coating it. We know he's going to make errors, but he'll make up for them with his bat.

Not sure how Mario and Rod call those.

I actually agree with Leyland's decision to leave him in for this reason...Valverde isn't comfortable coming into a game with inherited runners...lots of closers aren't. So once he sent JV out for the 9th and he got himself in trouble again...he basically had to leave him out there to get himself out of the jam. IMO, once you let JV start the 9th then he has to finish it.

Mario and Rod said he made the right decision on HOW to play that hop (backing up on it) but he just didn't get there.
