Huh? They had guys on 2nd and 3rd and we would have still had an at bat.

valverde is the luckiest closer ever. i used to say that about jones but valverde is worse than he is.

 

[spockmaster]

Tigers win 6 - 5,
Porcello wins his 9th,
Valverde gets his 22nd save,
two aspirin.... thanks papa grande,
Tigers Victory Cigar.

Everything was hit hard that inning until the popup.

 

[Thumb]

Yup and he was up by 5 runs... He normally struggles in that spot.. But up 5 runs should he have pitched?

Yes.

All that "don't bring him in in non-save situations" stuff is pure nonsense.

When your number is called you gotta go.

Nice win, I agree with leaving valverde out there, lucky or not he got it done. of course that is easy ti day after the w but if it was me I probably wouldve left him out there too.

I'm taking Bayer to prevent a heart attack.

 

[Thumb]

Because he can't throw it for a strike

Unless he gets a swing and miss...

All those guys were sitting dead-red on the heater.

I had no idea. That long road trip made me forget about this home streak.

I'm taking 3 fingers of Wild Turkey to prevent a stroke.

OK now that my heart is back in its usual spot, being my chest...I plan on making myself a nice stiff drink...

2006? Hmm...a sign of things to come? World Series title or bust.

that long ass 3 and 6 road trip, another 6 gamer is coming up after this yankees series with the ffrangers and fftwins.

According to STATS LLC, Tigers 16-1 record in last 17 home games is Tigers best at home since also going 16-1 from 6/2-7/15/1919.

Thankfully, Target Field is like a home away from home for the Tigers.
