Cabrera ok with batters box tonight?

 

Lol, I was just thinking about that too.

Great inning!

 

Awesome !

Brilliant!

Not exactly a textbook rundown, but we'll take it.

 

Now let's run with the momentum and put up a 2-3 spot here.

Cabrera strikes out and they get Jackson out in a rundown. Way to start it!

Hey, wow, the Tigers did somethig wrong?!

Leadoff walk!

De Aza steals second, close play.

Definitely looked out, huge break...got him on the top of the helmet.

Let's knock this hack around a bit tonight

Just a line shot right at Fielder, De Aza with heads up play gets back to second in time to avoid the dp.

Dammit...yet another YOUK liner right at someone with RISP.

 

Eventually, that bad luck has to turn. Thankfully, DeAza at least got back to 2nd.

Wise ground out moves ADA to third. Need you here Paulie. 2 out.

We need a hit here from Konerko in the worst way to end this RISP noose around our necks.

Porcello's sinker looking good already it could be a long night.

Swing the bat Paul.

Not a good trend to start this game...

 

Konerko had a good pitch to hit in that sequence and fouled it off.

Swing the bat Paul.

 

Shouldn't have to when the balls out of the strike zone

Shouldn't have to when the balls out of the strike zone

 

I'll take your word for it.

Delmon Young curse continues.

 

At least Fielder didn't get a hold of one of those fastballs out over the plate, there's that.

Quintana's control seems to be going south with the extended season and innings count, rather than the actual speed of his pitches.

Peralta hits one of the wall, they get him at second but run scores.

Lucky that one didn't go out and picked up the out at 2nd...nice assist Dayan, perfect way to play it off the fence and get it back in.

 

Psychology-wise, they know that Quintana's really struggling recently and we haven't been able to do a thing against Porcello this season. Not a good combination.

GAME

Sigh.

 

Hope Garcia doesn't become the "faster" Magglio Ordonez.
