Tigers vs. yankees Game Thread April 7

It just dawned me, cc is a soft tossing lefty,

our achilles heal


It does not help we have 2 automatic outs in the lineup either.

Pena and Santiago in the same day is a terrible idea.
 
Nix shows bunt but takes the 1st pitch. Nix drives an 0-1 pitch just foul...about 3 feet to the right of the foul pole in left. Singles through the middle on a 1-2 pitch.

Coke and Dotel up in the pen. Downs and Smyly not available today.

Yanks looking for an insurance run...Gardner bunts the 1st and 2nd pitch foul. Works the count to 2-2 and fouls off a few more pitches before flying out to AJ.

Cano hits into a 4-6-3 DP. Inning over.

JV is probably done with 108 pitches (77 for strikes).

I smell our first walk off win of the year coming up.
 
Not to bad all in all for jv today, couple of ill advised pitches is all it took, wish they could have hit the soft tossing left a little better than that and got him a couple at least
 
Omar pops up a 1-2 pitch to Nix at short.

Full count for Ramon (Girardi gets on the phone to the pen) and he grounds out to 3rd base.

Right hander Robertson warming up in the pen.

AJ (leads all leadoff hitters in walks since 2012) K's swinging on a 3-2 pitch.

CC's final line 7 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 3K's, 114 pitches (68 strikes)....3.00 era for the year.

JV's final line 7.1 IP, 7 hits, 3 ER, 2 Walks, 4 K's, 111 pitches (79 strikes)....2..19 era for the year.
 
The part I don't get is why coke is always allowed to stay in for the right handed hitters

Why does Jim not get this
 
JV back on the hill...I'm surprised.

Youk grounds a 1-1 pitch to Miggy.

JV is done now. JV's final line 7.1 IP, 7 hits, 3 ER, 2 Walks, 4 K's, 111 pitches (79 strikes)....2..19 era for the year.

Coke on the mound now.

Hafner laces the first pitch right under the glove of a diving Omar.

Wells doubles down the 3rd base line on a 2-2 pitch. Pena set up outside and Coke threw it down and in. 2nd and 3rd w/ 1 out. Nunez pinch running for Hafner.

Infield in for Ichiro. 5-12 (.417) lifetime vs Coke. Ichiro hits a deep fly ball to Hunter...both runners move up. 4-0.

Cervelli singles right up the middle. 5-0. Fuck off Coke.

Overbay flies out to AJ.
 
5-0. Coke really should ONLY be brought in to face a batter or 2 or mop up duty.. If he gives up anything you have to yank him because you know what's going to happen.

Completely agree, my only hope now is that we get at least 3 so coke is the loser,or heck I could end up being a day off in the vibe from yesterday LOL
 
Indians up 11-0 on Tampa in the 8th, Minny up 4-3 on Balt in the 7th, Seattle beating the Sox 3-2 in the 7th, KC up 8-4 on Philly in the 7th.
 
Remember the thread about how Coke was going to become an elite closer?

Wouldn't he have to become an elite pitcher first, and not a giant piece of shit?
 
Fuck you, Coke. Awful offensive showing today too. At least we won the series.
 
Robertson in to pitch now.

Hunter laces a single right by Youk...ate him up. Another multi-hit game for Tori...5 out of 6 games now.

Miggy falls behind 0-2 and then checks his swing but can't hold up. Miggy always asks for the appeal for some reason and the first base ump tells him to sit down. No argument from Miggy...he went. Bad day at the plate for the big fella.

Prince falls behind 0-2 as well and then singles into center...Hunter goes to 3rd.

Crowd finally comes alive and starts making some noise.

VMart batting left handed now (2-5 career vs Robertson) hits a shallow fly ball to center on a 2-2 pitch. Runners hold.

Tui (been on base 3 times today) watches the first 2 pitches go right down the middle and then K's swinging through the 3rd pitch.
