Official ALCS Thread: Tigers/Rangers

[Randy Shields]

Bad news for the Tigers, Delmon Young is out for the ALCS. He had a Hot bat going.

Good news is not having to watch 5,000 commercials for Conan and Family Guy.

I understand Texas lawmakers are currently trying to pass a bill making Verlander's pitches illegal.

He better be careful. If he gets a speeding ticket they might execute him.

They may be waiting to see if he gets a little bit better control here.

Jackson needs to be a little less lackadaisical. That could have cost them some.

 

[bouwob]

with that I hope cruz is finally back on.

 

[bouwob]

so through 4, verlander has 14 more pitches than wilson. They both looked bad to begin with but wilson seems to have settled in.

How long will both of them last?

verlander through 6?
wilson through 7?

 

[bouwob]

rain delay

 

[Randy Shields]

Verlander can't buy a break --from the ump or the rain! Great.

 

[bouwob]

with an hour to 2 hour rain delay I believe texas takes the advantage with ogando. We was placed in the all star game as a starter.

 

[bouwob]

tarps coming off

 

[Randy Shields]

Hopefully just a half-hour delay or so. And hopefully it's done for the night...

 

[Randy Shields]

Damn rain!!!

A.J. Pierzynski is a complete trainwreck on the broadcast.

I'm really liking Francona. Sooooo much better than Tim McKnucklehead who apparently will be back for game 3.

I agree. Francona has been solid and likeable.

I guess Jim Leyland didn't feel like trying to tie it in the 9th. He pinch runs Danny Worth for Santiago(when Worth is no faster than Santiago), then pinch hits Betemit who now has struck out his last 3 AB, on a total of 9 pitches-all with swinging 3rd strikes when it's a ball.

Then he leaves Jackson in to hit, when he's looked lost against righties, let alone a guy throwing high 90s.

As a Tigers fan, it's hard to watch these guys swing at so many balls. The umpire had one of the smallest strike zones you will see, but you wouldn't know that by watching Betemit, Jackson, and Raburn. Feliz probably actually threw 5 pitches that would have been called strikes.

But, we have to move on and hope Max Scherzer can bring it like last Game 2. And our bats need to wake up.
