So, I was out driving, but Gavin was cruising and up 1-0.

 

How'd they get the 3?

 

Their offense is pretty good is the answer.

Well, this is a familiar scenario against the Tigers this year.

 

Crooked numbers put up vs. our pitchers when they've been cruising along.

 

 

At least Scherzer is already over 100 pitches at this point...but it's not like their bullpen is garbage.

my teachers are on strike

 

Very good

Ugh, he keeps going with the 3-2 change-up to our lefties to get them out.

oh come on. when they hit they find the gap. when we hit it...grr

 

We would too if we had a potential triple crown winner in our lineup. We use to see that with the Big Hurt.

 

Those at-bats by Johnson and Hudson could prove big in this game. They took a lot of pitches with 2 outs. Against a guy like Scherzer it's hard to ask for much more from the bottom of the order. They probably bring him out for the 6th, but likely with a short leash and that would likely be his last inning. Gives the Sox a chance to get some runs.

There might not be a BETTER 1-2-3 in the majors for the playoffs than Scherzer, Verlander and Fister.

 

Everyone should be afraid to face them, should they actually make it.

Last night was the turning point. We are back to being their b****es.

 

Ok, Hectors clearly not starting Friday now

Yep, ridiculous decision. It's not like he's a good reliever anyways.

Apparently we're back to Liriano starting against the Twins...

 

Even if we are tied, you'd almost rather go with Santiago at this point against Minnesota, rather than Liriano.

 

Except Francisco has the advantge of knowing all the weaknesses of his former teammates. But they know all of his trends and tendencies as well, and this would be the 2nd time he's faced them.

I hear driving in the City is tough because of all the picketing. Love those unions.

Well on the bright side, FLoyd's return looks promising. I still don't know why they didn't walk Jackson.

It would be nice to have unions. Rick Perry really doesnt care about education or teachers.

Santiago seems a lot more confident in ANY situation, except for closing.

Whether as a starter or middle reliever.

Floyd's next start should be against KC, and thankfully he'll miss facing the Angels.

Man it feels like we are watching the same game night in and night out

 

Yep. No offense except for solo home runs. Decent starting pitching again but not deep into the game (cept for Q the other day).

The main difference in this game is the fact that 1) the Tigers have the best hitter in the AL who's super clutch, and their hitting with RISP and especially with 2 outs.

 

Whereas all season long, especially in the 2nd half of the season, we've given up a disproportionate number of runs with two outs.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if we led the AL in that category since the All-Star break. It has been uncanny. Hasn't mattered if it was a starter or reliever.

Except she has idea what she's doing.

I miss the part of the year when PK came through with the asininely soft clutch single at basically every opportunity

Except she has idea what she's doing.

 

DO NOT DISRESPECT THE KUSTOK

Who does Detroit play next after mopping us up while we hopefully are winning the Twins' series?

If Liriano was the answer last night, why is he not the answer tonight? Santiago is pitching well and it has worked out but the theory behind it makes no sense unless they were just pushing Liriano back and threw him yesterday to get him work which makes no sense either.

 

Anyway the pitching has not been the issue the hitting is abysmal and getting Hudson in there over Beckham is not helping matters.

DO NOT DISRESPECT THE KUSTOK

No, Kustok was great. New girl is horrible.
