September 1, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) Question on the Tigers...do they have any bad contracts after this year? Aren't Ordonez and Inge gone after this year? Come on man, the Google isn't that hard to use. No, their bad contracts end after this year. They have good money tied up in their good players, but start off at $72 million this offseason, $81 if they pick up the option on Valverde. They did pare back a lot of salary last offseason, but not as much as they could have...they spent money to bring guys like Ordonez back.
September 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) What inning will the Tigers come back today? I'm thinking they skip the dramatics and take the lead in the 5th. Damn, off by one inning

September 1, 201114 yr At least Crow won't still be in the game...hopefully Holland and Soria close it out!!
September 1, 201114 yr 6 innings have had scoring in them in that game... None of them has been a single run inning.
September 1, 201114 yr scottmerkin Scott Merkin As reference, Tigers 7 up on Twins in 2009 on Sept. 6. Didn't make playoffs ~

Didn't make playoffs ~ They went 11-15 after Sep. 6, which would be the same this year...86-76 Sox would have to go 18-10 to tie. Good luck with that.

September 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) You wanna tell us again how reliable that Detroit bullpen is? Seems like this was a throw-away game for Leyland, as he didn't use Benoit.
September 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) Seems like this was a throw-away game for Leyland, as he didn't use Benoit. When would he have used Benoit? They were losing by the 7th, he pitched two innings two days ago, and they have six straight games against the Sox & Indians coming up. I'm sure if they were up in the 8th, he would have pitched.

Sorry, meant the throw-away part with holding Verlander back and then going with Turner, Perry and Coke. I'm not complaining, if they pitch Verlander in this game, it's likely another win for them we'd have to make up the rest of the way. BTW, is Al Al expected back soon?
September 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Tigers are amazing at coming back...Aaron Crow's ERA is around 2.5, but I swear he gets rocked whenever I watch him. I was thinking the same thing.

Speaking of Coke, these are his numbers in August as a reliever: 12 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 20 K So much for converting him to a starter

Which is ironic, because it was being argued that Crain should have been used yesterday instead of Frasor, when we were three runs down instead of two.

Being off the following day and the fact he faced one batter over the previous four makes kind of makes a big difference.
