QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:58 PM) Thames K's. Good job by Garland keeping them down. They made him throw some pitches that inning, but the important part is were still tied. Inning's still going.

With Casey's gap swing, we need to prevent the run scoring double here.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) He wasn't going to give in to Guillen. Intentional unintentional walk. I doubt he meant to put on the go-ahead run in the 7th inning.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:48 PM) Does anyone doubt they would have walked him anyway? Why would they pitch to Thome? They wouldn't IBB walk someone into scoring position. If anything, they would have brought in Seay.

Good AB by Konerko. Ugh, I hate bunting! Good thing Ozuna is playing 2nd baseman against a righty.

Really stupid idea to bunt there. Now, we take the bat out of the hands of our best hitter. Terrible baseball.

Wow, that would have been a horrific call if Casey caught the ball. Great hustle down the line by Erstad!

Damn, thought Uribe got that one. So stupid to keep swinging at the first pitch though.

Wow....that ball got out to Dye very quickly.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) Damn it, he might come back out for the 7th. I can't see why he wouldn't.

So stupid....so stupid. Garland has a tough inning coming up here with top of the order.

Single digit pitch count this inning would be bad!

Ugh....need to be patient and make this Verlander's last inning.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) Seeing the production with Mackowiak in the lineup, it just reaffirms my infatuation with wanting a platoon of him and Ozuna for LF and leading off. It is seriously our best option for LF. I honestly believe Mackowiak is just as fast as Pods now.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:29 PM) I think they will have to use Mesa or Grilli if the game is tied. Rodney has been looking so bad, I don't think that Leyland trusts him after yesterday's game. Mesa's on the DL

Some of the worst ABs I've ever seen from PK and Dye. Good job of tying though! Is it me, or does Mackowiak bring a lot of the intangibles to this team that Pods doesn't?

Another door left open by Tigers defense....look like a major leaguer JD.

Take a seat PK.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:14 PM) Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but Erstad's next XBH will be his first since his first at-bat of the year when he homered off of Sabathia. Yep....quite the tease that first AB was.

Haha....grinder at his best! It wasn't pretty, but I love the effort.

There we go! Bad defensive communication by the Tigers. If there's ever a time for the Erstad 4-3, it's right now.

Stupid swing by Uribe.

Garland's giving us a chance to get some momentum in this game. Let's get a few guys on base for Thome....for once!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:04 PM) At least Crede saw a few pitches. Verlander's at 65 now. One good inning and we can knock him out during the 6th or just make sure he doesn't get into the 7th. Uribe will work him next inning, I'm sure.

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 06:00 PM) I'm not shocked at all. Thome has taken a ton of walks and PK can't hit. That cuts the doubles down a lot. Erstad can't have more than 2 extra base hits this year. Holy cow....that was pathetic.
