Wow that is huge!

HELL YEAH AJ!

That should be good enough!! And now, Jenks probably won't be needed either, good.

 

What PATHETIC managing by Leyland today though, leave Verlander in until he reaches 115 pitches and allows 4 (maybe more) runs. I know they used the bullpen all game last night, but Verlander should have been out after he hit Cabrera in the head.

Can't blame Verlander for letting those earned runs up. That turd lays squarely in Leyland's lap.

their pen was absolutely depleted...im not gonna blame leyland too much

agree that verlander should have been long gone, it went from a nervous game to a relaxing 9th

C'mon Carlos put the nail in the coffin!

He'd already gotten 7 and 1/3 out of Verlander, and he had walked and then hit in the head the last two batters. Bring in the lefty to get Thome, manufacture a 3rd out, and at least you have a chance in the 9th while having your starter avoid 20 extra stressful pitches. It's not worth it in April, and the pen could have gotten them 2 outs to keep it close going to the 9th. I'm not complaining though, that poor managing helped put it away for us.

Let Linebrink pitch the ninth? Or turn it over to maybe someone like Mac or Thornton?

Should have brought Seay into the game to face Thome.

damnit, wanted jenks to get the save.

 

oh well. i'll take it.

YEAH! another run charged to Verlander...I love it! and the bats have awoken.

This is going to be a deceiving box score for Verlander, it's good to see our offense taking advantage of some mistakes and putting it away though.

Quentin!!!!!!

Go with Jenks. No way do you bring in MacDougal.

Do you bring in King Tut in a non save situation?

nah no use in having another guy throw again...linebrink only threw like 4 pitches...leave him in..he hasnt pitched in a while..neither has dotel actually

Carlos Quentin for president, etc

I saw Verlanders pitch count as AJ was coming up ands couldn't figure out why he would still be in there facing the lefty, but the Tigers pitching is depleted no doubt. Plus Verlander is a real good pitcher. But, AJ is on fire early this seaon which is a good sign of things to come this year I think.

So whats the reason Gavin did so well today? Granderson out? The rain? Night game/day game? Pratt, DA, anything?????

The cold, duh. Cold weather makes it impossible to hit but clearly quite easy to pitch in

The only way Q goes back to Triple A is if the Sox resign Timo Perez.

haha thats an ERA killer for verlander...5 runs over 7 and 1/3....he pitched alot better than that line indicates

Dotel saw action last night.

 

 

Leave Scott in.

oh yeah, whups

Go with Jenks. No way do you bring in MacDougal.

I agree he hasnt pitched since Monday
