97 pitches for Verlander through 6. 95 for Jose.

AJ=due for a hit, and he hasn't looked too good thus far.

That knuckle curve on pitch 1 has been called a strike all night.

All Jim needs is just a little patience.

Bye bye.

95 pitches for Jose through 6.

Too close of a play for comfort at first. Yeesh.

Grab some bench Babe.

X rays negative on Craig Monroe, Ankle Sprain.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) What's the chances their leadoff walk scores? It took about 20 seconds for our leadoff walk to be erased. On average, 55% league wide, IIRC.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) Doesn't matter how many pitches he's thrown at this point in the game. Their bullpen is good enough where it's almost better to have Verlander still in the game. Their bullpen is not that good. They have a couple guys well above 6 in ERA, Grilli, and so on. Zumaya is good, but they're certainly not going to scare you otherwise.

77 pitches for Verlander through 5. 79 for Jose. f***ing Mack.

I'd sell my soul for a complete Center Fielder Patience Scotty, he's wild this inning, don't help him out.

Mother f***er.

The dreaded leadoff walk. MACK MUST SCORE HERE. Get him over, get him in. Don't let Cintron bunt.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Gonna be close to end tonight I have a feeling. Boy, where in the world did you get that idea? Shocking.

79 pitches through 5 for Jose. On pace to go 6+.

Jose still seems not there.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) In a way, I wish that game never happened. Of course, it was great for the team to win that game, and for Anderson to contribute. However, it seems nothing more than a fluke. I love how you've decided that the kid has no present or future ability to ever produce based on his first 200 at bats.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Seems like he can only hit a fastball. Case in point: King Felix. Everyday Eddie isn't exactly throwing gas right now.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) Whatever happened to big mouth Dmitri? DL, he's been hurting all year. He's also facing domestic abuse charges or something like that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) You know I blame Ozzie for everything....but I don't blame him for not playing Anderson. Anderson's bat vs. Verlander's fast ball right now? Mack isn't that good right now either, but at least he might make contact.

Eek. Make him pay for that pitch Tad. Hey Justin, it was the wall's fault, not Iguchi's.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) Hmm, if the Tigers lose Monroe . . . He's definately out for this series, I'd be surprised if he doesn't hit the DL the way that looks. Yipes.

Monroe will be out for a while. Yipes. That's a joint injury somewhere.
