^^^^^ Its good to see what these guys are made of sometimes. Once 1 hitter got on base, he was out of there.

 

Right, because Cotts vs. Granderson made sense.

I realize he got the outs, but did he look good doing it? I wish I got home just a bit earlier so I could have watched. Was he locating his off-speed stuff or was it just the FB?

 

He was throwing strikes with all his pitches, but catching too much plate.

 

As for Zumaya....you don't want to rush him into closing guys, remember LaTroy Hawkins (in his prime, he had similar stuff).

FSN Detroit's gun has been off all night, but that was the fastest pitch I've seen.

HAMMER, AND SIT DOWN!!!

 

1 down, 2 to go.

leyland is a wise man, but if you're managing that team, doesn't Zumaya have to close ahead of Todd Freakin jones?

Jones doesn't have many blown saves IIRC, but his BAA and ERA have been brutal. He won't last much longer in the closer's role I'd say.

Damn that was filthy.

Great pitch sequence against one of the hardest guys to K in baseball. We need to get Infante out, so Ordonez is only the tying run.

Not with the money they're paying Jones.

NASTY slider on the 1st pitch to Infante, and now a base hit to right. Here is Maggs, showdown time.

Fudge...

Ugh...here we go.

I blame you for that one.

A lot of Tiger fans would agree with you on that, but Leyland is gonna stick with Jones till he gives him a reason to take him out of that position. He's blown 2 saves yes, but the fact is he's 16 of 18 overall. Doesn't matter how he's got em, the bottom line is he's gotten it done for the most part.

Damn Omar. WTF. This is gonna be tough Bobby.

I got a bad feeling here. This man loves hitting the heat.

Jenks looks good, but it doesn't mean he can't be beat tonight. Lets get Maggs to induce into a game ender.

We haven't gotten many DPs lately.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the unclutch Ordonez we know and love.

Thanks for the help Mags!

Infante likes the ball down ... oh, never mind, Maggs GIDP, love it. Sox win.

Fastball with some movement....almost a cutter-type pitch fouled off by Maggs, 0-1. Straight gas on that one, but low and away for a 1-1 count.

 

RACK 'EM UP, ABSOLUT TO PK, 6-3, SOX WIN THE GAME 4-3!!!!

OVAAAAAA
