Tigers vs. twins Game Thread April 1

[Mitchrapp]

Don't try to justify it Rod.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Walkin' the rookie.

 

[manchild98]

Nice catch Dirks.

 

[turok]

Temp has risen by a whole degree to 35...still a bit windy, but it is forecast to be in the low 50s in minney for the the 2nd and 3rd games on Wed/Thursday.

Whew!!

Benoit pitching 8th inning,

dozier strikes out swinging,

escobar grounder to Fielder lead toss to Benoit covering just beats him,

hicks walks,

mauer hey joyce, where was that first pitch? another k zone tighter than a bulls ass in horse fly season in July, sliced down left and Dirks runs over and has it,

Tigers lead 4 - 2.

 

[gotime909]

Has there even been a ball hit to the track? Someone's due for a dinger!

 

[hungry]

Is Leyland going to luck out again after his "Leyland being Leyland" moment?

Does Joyce hate the Tigers or what?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Has there even been a ball hit to the track? Someone's due for a dinger!

Would have to be one hell of a shot.

 

[kalinecountry]

Phil Coke is warming in Tigers bullpen.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Phillllllllllll Coke.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers batting 9th inning,

Jackson lines to left,

Hunter check swing grounder to first,

Cabrera strikes out swinging,

Tigers lead 4 - 2.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Come on Coker!!!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Gotta like those one pitch outs.

 

[turok]

2 moar 2 go and in comes Coke.

 

[turok]

sale pitched a 7 inning, 7 K SHO over the royals, who ultimately lost 1-0. shields nearly matched him w/8 hits and 6 Ks in 6 IP, but gave up the winning run on a solo homer to flowers.

 

[jas5lf]

Coker time!

 

[johnny2x2x]

Oh, I like leaving Benoit in for a batter or two, one of my big complaints from last year that Leyland always had the closer pitch the whole ninth. Nothing wrong with a 1 or 2 out save.

 

[turok]

Siddown mournoh

 

[manchild98]

Coke closes the door quickly. Tigers are 1-0. JV finally gets an opening day win! Any win on a cold opening day is a great win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah..
