Tigers vs. yankees ALCS Game Thread 1 Oct. 13

[pr0tege]

This is Doug Fister's fourth Tigers start with at least three walks. Gerald Laird has been the catcher for three of those games.

Yeah as I posted earlier Fister's numbers with Avila catching him are much better then Laird.

Avila: (17 Starts)
3.13 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 90/19 K-BB ratio

Laird: (10 Starts)
3.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 55/20 K-BB ratio

All 3 innings end with the ball hit to a Peralta and the shocker is, he didn't mess any up.

ARod keeping us in this game

the first at bat he had he got good lumber on it.

It's not the ump, they're beating themselves right now. If anything, they umps saved at least 1 run for us.

What's not the Ump?

I'm not talking about how the hits and stuff are going, I'm talking about how Fister is getting squeezed and racking up his pitch count while Pettitte is getting pitches on the edge.

the fact that out batters have been shit is irrelevant, call balls and strikes equally.

Fister was missing pretty badly in first.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Sigh.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

I really only felt like two pitches were absolute strikes that doug threw and were called balls.

this is what the yankees do...it's always been their forte....make the pitchers work

 

[gotime909]

Time for a Young 2 run bomb.

 

[mhughes0021]

Nice...man on for dy to k.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm calling it, Delmon right here.

 

[Thumb]

Fister was missing pretty badly in first.

Yes he was, he also threw like 3 pitches that should have been strikes.

Again, I'm not talking about the grand scope of the game, I'm talking about how the close pitches are being called.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

DY swings at EVERYTHING

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers hitting 4th inning,

Infante grounder to third and Infante makes it close,

Cabrera takes inside and it's a strike call, swings and misses a low cutter, hard grounder dives to his left and comes up throwing, shit,

Fielder ground ball up the middle single,

Young a throw to first on Prince, swings and misses a changeup, fastball fouled back, in the dirt and blocked, belt high fouled to catcher,

pettitte with 48 pitches,

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least he hit it, -16 feet.

 

[gotime909]

I'm calling it, Delmon right here.

Didn't work for either of us

 

[Thumb]

Delmon is the best player on the Yankees.

 

[jas5lf]

My God Delmon sucks......batting .542 against Pettite and looks like shit at the plate now.

 

[tigermud]

Time for a Young 2 run bomb.

If your Pettitte or any other pitcher for that matter.. You have absolutely no reason to throw him anything over the plate, absolutely none what so ever.

 

[gotime909]

Yes he was, he also threw like 3 pitches that should have been strikes.

Again, I'm not talking about the grand scope of the game, I'm talking about how the close pitches are being called.

How can you compare when one team is taking and the other is swinging at EVERYTHING????

 

[pr0tege]

So much for Delmon destroying Pettitte to the tune of 11 for 19, .579 AVG, .737SLG, 1.316 OPS. Looks so lost at the plate.
