Good catch. I fixed it.

 

Can you come fix my TV next? One of the buttons is broken on it.

I will lay it out there, I'm a wreck about this series. We cannot have the Royals ruin our season. Let's get them tonight!

It was nice to see RV go with Wise yesterday and again today, the games are too big to stay with someone (DeAza) who is slumping. Ozzie, I think, would have stayed with DeAza.

Time to beat that Royal ASS!

Stay away and win games.

 

Anybody in the area and want to go to the game? I'm tempted cause the weather is good, there will be no fans there and the Sox are due to finally play better against KC you would think.

 

Don't take this the wrong way as I know you get a lot of s*** around here but as big as a White Sox fan as you are, how are you even debating this? We in Chicago can put off going to games but your time in this season is limited.

 

Get your ass out there.

 

Everyone in game thread owes me if greg does to in fact go.

Yay, no Cain or Dyson!

 

Also, Escobar has killed us too, but yeah, that Perez kid is scariest and threatening to become one of Hawk's new faves.

 

 

It would be interesting to see if Wise would have still been in the line-up had we blown that game in the last inning, after his base-running gaffe. He was the best hitter yesterday for us, so probably. And Viciedo REALLY would have been one of the goats, if not for the Rios takeout slide.

FYI, Athletics/Tigers is airing on MLB Network

A's strike first!!

2-out rally by Oakland. 1-0 good guys

A's strike first!!

 

Looked like an easy first for Max, than poof.

1-0 A's

ADA is starting though.

Yup, they're both in the lineup, Wise hitting 8th (FINALLY) and ADA leading off. Tanks the odd man out.

Stephen Drew is awful.

1-1 in the Tigers game.

 

Oakland mounted a 2 out attack against Max Patkin, AJ Griffin pitching out of 1st and 3rd no out situation after giving up a SAC fly to Miggy.

 

Top of the 2nd. Tie game.

 

Griffin has an impressively slow curveball, 67-69 MPH, about the speed of Shingo's frisbee curve.

 

4 of the first 5 Oakland outs are K's by Scherzer. Man, he's on a roll. Now he's going to a 3/4's arm slot occasionally to throw in a new look.

But 2 walks and 2 hits as well. Velocity at 93-94, almost 40 pitches through 1 2/3rds.

 

44 pitches...bottom of the 2nd now.

Scherzer getting an insane amount of swing and misses so far.

Well both Scherzer & Oakland lead the league in strikeouts...

And that's with his "B" fastball in the 93-94 MPH range.

 

What is impressive is how much movement he's getting with that change-up...the tailing action is similar to Colon or Peavy in his prime.

Tigers lead 2-1. Griffin on his way to his worst start in his career. Not quite sure how his ERA is so good with the stuff he features.

f***

Impressive. Peralta catches a pitch and lashes it for an opposite field homer. Especially to do that in cold September Detroit weather.

 

2-1 Tigers.

 

 

Not a good idea to trade Alexei Ramirez and replace him with Stephen Drew. Note for Marty34.

 

Tigers 48-21 when Jackson scores a run. We probably have a similar stat with DeAza.

Tigers have a long reliever in the pen warming up for some reason...

 

Would be a shame if something were to happen to Scherzer...

Scherzer pulled...

Scherzer has been pulled....replaced by Darin Downs...
