Tailing action at the last minute just bore into his hands enough to jam Miggy a touch. Feels like a miracle to get him out in the 7th/8th/9th. Then you turn around and pray you don't see him again in the final inning. Veal for Fielder. Rematch.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Great reaction, hand speed there.

Crap. Seems like that inning lasted half an hour and nothing happened in the end.

Getting a 2 out base hit from Paulie here would be absolutely huge.

Had a great pitch to hit there and missed it. Just a bit higher than where he normally likes the ball.

Huge blocked pitch there by Laird.

.392 average for Coke against RHBers. OHman-esque. 15 more hits given up than IP.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 02:14 PM) It's rosh hashanah. Delmon must be PISSED. I doubt he even knows what it is, to tell the truth. He's nothing like his brother, who has always seemed like a pretty stand-up guy.

Coke to face Dunn. PH Lillibridge, lol.

It's okay. Still don't like the bunt there. That slider's hard to pick up, a hard biting one. YOUK needs to get hold of a 95 MPH fastball. Slider=death to YOUK.

CRAP. Let him swing.

No bunting here. Stay aggressive, let Wise swing with how he's been hitting this game.

Donnie Veal needs to be ready for Fielder. Not Septimo. And not quite time for Thornton, either. Although Robin's going to be tempted to use Matty. Interesting decision. And please don't use Omogrosso or Marinez against Cabrera when you have Jones, Crain and Myers, among others.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) This is a different year. He didn't care much of the time last year, and he didn't care much his final days in Toronto. There is no doubt he's very graceful and that will give an appearance he's loafing, but last year he did loaf, and Ozzie even pulled him for loafing. For one game, when he basically had no choice with the media all over Rios and Ozzie on a daily basis about his putrid (at the time) OF play and overall lack of effort/concern.

That's the slider he can't go to when he's behind in the count...or throw consistently. It's actually a tighter, harder breaking one than Addison's.

Garcia is like Mike Alstott. He can really move for 240+ pounds.

Great play to follow it up, but Tigers' defense lets them down again. Whatever happens the next 16 1/2 games, Alex Rios is your MVP for the Sox. That one play right there, his hustle to get right into Infante and upend him......never in a million years would have happened in 2009-10-11. Still only 2 for 9 with RISP but we'll take it, after being down 3-0 early.

HUGE TAKEOUT BY RIOS. Amazing play bails out the Sox.

DAMMIT. Crap.

Swung at ball 4 and escaped. Really thought he was history on that slider. C'mon AJ and Tanks.

Let's get the damn lead now please. Don't stop now, Rio (Farmer's pet word for him this year)!!!

That would be shocking to see Benoit enter the game in the 5th. Leyland managing like this is the deciding game of the World Series.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) We play against Young 19 times a season. 0-2, throw it in the effin dirt 18, but yeah. You would think either the players or scouts would be able to see a FREAKIN' TREND.

Get out of this with only one scoring, you take your lumps and go back and take out Fister. Need to get Boesch... Alright. It's still manageable. Still, STUPID STUPID STUPID pitch call on 0-2. That's the problem with Reed and Jones, and why they're giving up more hits than IP. They just can't consistently control their offspeed stuff.

HANGER. Predictable.
