caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Breaks the string of poor results in Detroit. We're now 3-11 in our last 14 at Comerica. Â Tigers were 77-0 last year when leading after 7 innings, this year they've ALREADY lost 5 games. Doubt they continue that pace and lose 27 for the entire season, but that's a difference most of us expected with Valverde being 49/49 last year in saves converted. Â And Floyd, ever since we acquired him, has been best against the Tigers of all AL teams. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting since they are always so good offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2525 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Biggest hit of Dunns White Sox career right there. Â THAT is what team leaders do. When the team is down and out the big guys step up and put the team on their backs. Â HUGE WIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Huge win. Let's see what Axelrod can do against a lineup that is bound to produce better than it has so far. Tough situation for him, but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the announcers said this loss was just as painful for Detroit as Friday's was for the Sox. 2.) Dunn has hit some big home runs this year. He's actually earned his contract this year. No complaints about him. Â Reed looked great. There's no reason in the world to not give him the next save opportunity. Why in the world would you insert Sale as closer when it's Reed's time?

Kyyle23 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 So they said that ball, which cleared the bleachers, went 422 feet. The Centerfield fence is 420 feet from home plate. There is no way in hell that ball went only 422 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit tracker should have the true distance up by tonight.  FWIW, Hafner's hit the longest home run of the season at 481 feet.  Video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_...61&c_id=mlb  I think Dunn's went just as far.

hogan873 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I just watched the replay of Dunn's homerun. That was easily 450 feet. I like how the announcers said it took two relays to get it back on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
