Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

The ball was just above his nipples. It wasn't exactly a Jose Valverde meatball.

Another perspective...

John Buccigross @Buccigross
For the love of God, the ball was right down the middle, just above the waist, 95 mph. Known in Boston as a "Josh Beckett" fastball

Well.....Sandoval never met a ball he didn't want to swing at. *shrug*

Twinkle Toes.

More like "Runs Through Goose ****".

Young in left (*shudder*).

Twinkle Toes. Hopefully his bat stays hot though!

Some warm fuzzies for everyone.

Total runs allowed this postseason by Tiger pitchers not named Jose Valverde: 2.

Earned runs? Or did Valverde really give up 15 runs?

Avila is starting against a lefty tonight. Garcia is right, Young in left(*shudder*).

Same roster.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Same as I was with Yankees-Os. Honestly don't care as long as the Tigers are in it. The last thing I ever want is to be the '06 Twins throwing a big party just because you draw a specific opponent in the playoffs, only to have them sweep you away.

FWIW, the Twins had beaten the A's in 2002, and we all know how the Twins fare against the Yankees.

Either way, I'll be rooting for Detroit in the Series, so good luck Tigers and bring home the title.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

I'm thinking this series is going 6 or 7 games. That's about it. If the Tigers can avoid the "deer in the headlights" play they exhibited in St.Louis in 2006, they'll be okay.

In other news, our good friend Joel Zumaya is in town fishing on lake St. Clair for small mouth bass. I hope he doesn't break something casting.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Maybe, but the bottom of the line up is what beat ny if you ask me. I wish Boesch had been better as the season went on, and Villereal is not ready for the pressure. I would love to see Valverde come in and get two outs in a non pressure situation. He has to start back somehow. I wish I knew why his splitter has deserted him.

I still think Valverde is injured. Mix in the fact that his velocity is off 3-4 MPH, and he doesn't want to throw/doesn't have control of the splitter. Smoke and fire...

Looks like midnight came tonight for the Cards.

Game 7 in the NL tonight. Who you got? And who do you want? And if the answer isn't the same, why?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

I've got to believe that at some point, midnight strikes for the Cards. And in a short series, I want no part of Cain/Lincecum/Vogelsong, healthy Lincecum or otherwise. I can just imagine what they're going to do with our lineup once we get past Fielder.
