That's more like it. Big Max does the job and the guns produce. Don't like the 9th inning with Valverde, but a win is a win. Coming home 1-1 with Verlander on the hill.

Nice win by Detroit today. Scherver was incredibly good, Detroit got good hitting when they needed it after the early 2 run homer, and they did enough to win. Got exciting at the end for those of us who stayed in the stadium, really felt like a walk-off was in the cards, but Valverde got Cano to ground out. We'll see what happens in the battle of the aces part 1.5 tomorrow night.

Well, then. JV is not off to the start we had in mind.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Okay, it looks like the umpire is going to make orange juice tonight.

And Santiago needs to do a better job of running through the bag at 1st.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

We make CC throw 28 pitches in the 1st inning....and come away with nothing to show for it. Let's not make a habit of that, boys.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

That was one hell of an at bat out of Santiago there to get us on the board. At least 9 pitches after going 0-2.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

That's not what I had in mind to tie the game, Miggy.

2-2 <strike>in the</strike> through 3.

Go Detroit!

The Twins get chopped up everytime they face the Yanks. I hope you guys have better luck.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Good grief. Verlander froze Swisher to end the 5th. Swisher had to pull his jock off of his forehead after that pitch.

2-2, mid 5. Verlander being Verlander.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Had Inge done more of this in the regular season, we wouldn't have needed Windmill Willie Betemit.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

I thought the Homer Light was coming out for a moment there. RBI double for Santiago.

3-2, bottom 5, 1 out.

We are through 5, not 6. Pitch counts through 5:

Sabathia: 97 or so
Verlander: 59
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Somewhere the ghosts of Ty Cobb and Hank Greenberg caused that odd bounce in left field to allow Kelly to score.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Verlander was cruising until he got 2 strikes on Posada, and then ****ed around too long with him. A walk, an HBP later, and a shot to left center, and we're tied. Goddammit.

He was at ~ 85 pitches, and just like that, he's over 100.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

I know the pitch count is only 101, but I wonder how much Verlander has left, given that he pitched in a monsoon Friday night.

DELMON!!!

5-4, bottom 7
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

That's going to draw a column from Henning, crying about the fences for about the 1,893rd time.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

The velocity is still there, but the control is going.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

Holy high strike, Batman. That hasn't been called all night.........or since about 1971, for that matter.
