Trouble.

 

MCab doubles, Robin brings in Donnie Veal to face Fielder.

That was predictable. Thankfully Raburn didn't score.

Of course

 

2-1 count, centercut fastball.

 

Well, Fathom's boy Veal will either the hero or the goat right here against Fielder.

Tigers put a lot of fear in ya in 7-9th innings. They might expose the suckiness of the pen.

The good thing is that Veal does own lefties. But if he lets Fielder on-base, we're very very f***ed.

Damn. This is drama. Fielder you know is gonna try to time a fastball and tie this baby up.

Hopefully that is it. Still strange to not see any of them up in a situation like this. Myers included, or even Reed for the four out save. Robin is literally trusting the 10th guy out of the pen in Omo.

No problem with Veal but not using Myers or Crain for one batter is a bad decision there. One again Robin's looking like he is not sure what to do with the bullpen.

Way to cover second Gordon.

Stoney trying his best to jinx him.

That's the consequence of having an inconsistent pen.

 

Hope that 1/15 with RISP doesn't come back to bite us, but you knew we were going to be challenged at the end of this game because of our bullpen.

 

Well, here it is.

For one batter Myers or Crain were the better option unless they are hurt.

With first base open don't you walk fielder here?

1-2, 2 out.

 

Lets go Donnie!

That's one of those plays you won't see in the box score. It's recorded as a double, but really an error on Beckham.

DONNIE f***ING VEAL

Donnie Veal = best LOOGY in baseball.

DONNIE!

 

INSURANCE RUNS PLEASE!

Veal is such an AWESOME weapon outta that bullpen. That off speed pitch to lefties is about as good as it gets.

That was clutch

Atta boy, Donnie! Way to get it done in a very tough situation!

HUGE HUGE HUGE out.

 

But don't stop now boys!

 

Veal is definitely positioning himself to be a key in that 2013 bullpen. He's been the most consistent guy down there, all things considered.

Wait, what?
