Tigers vs. whitesox Game Thread July 20

[jas5lf]

Well deserved standing ovation. JV pitches a gem..

 

[kalinecountry]

JV retires 9 in a row, 8 innings, 121 pitches, 2 runs, 4 hits, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts,

Tigers lead 4 - 2.

 

[kalinecountry]

Standing O and the handshake of doom from Leyland.

 

[kalinecountry]

Omogrosso to pitch bottom 8th, I can't make that name up,

 

[Mitchrapp]

He could go one more inning. Get CG 6.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Omogrosso to pitch bottom 8th, I can't make that name up,

Lol, Oh Mo Grosso.

 

[kalinecountry]

is potato available tonight?

yeah coulomb Beck says Valverde is warming up.

 

[kalinecountry]

oh crap what's up with Cabrera's ankle, stays in but the look on his face says something is up,

 

[kalinecountry]

Cabrera leads off the 8th with a double down the rightfield line, another multi hit game and his 27th double,

Fielder lines a single to left Cabrera to third,

Young grounds to third and Cabrera is out at home and he gets up limping,

 

[jmakula87]

Ah, glad to get home and see us up 4-2, but can't watch the game :/ Hopefully Miggy is ok! What happened?

 

[jmakula87]

ah, and the last thing you said answers my question

 

[tigermud]

and now we get Don Kelly here with 2 on and 1 out instead of BB. grrrrrr

 

[Mitchrapp]

Need a big hit here.

 

[kalinecountry]

Ah, glad to get home and see us up 4-2, but can't watch the game :/ Hopefully Miggy is ok! What happened?

didn't see anything but thinking he might have turned/rolled it on the run to third, he should have slid into pierzynski's knee with his foot up,

 

[Mitchrapp]

and now we get Don Kelly here with 2 on and 1 out instead of BB. grrrrrr

I get the outfield defense at times but in a close game? Does Kelly actually ever make a play that helps us win?

 

[kalinecountry]

Kelly out and Mudhen pinch hitting with the new lefty pitcher,

geez this poor bastard, and Leyland was saying he has to at least lefthanders,

 

[Mitchrapp]

Like we didn't see that coming?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm getting sick of Avila.

 

[Thumb]

I don't see why you pull a starter before the 9th inning when you have less then a 4 run lead.

How many times had Boesch been pulled only to have Kelly come up to bat in the 8th...

Yeah one in Seattle I remember but all in all IMO smokes should stop bringing him in for that until we are sure BB is highly unlikely to get another AB yet, especially since he's finally hitting better now.
