Game 2: Royals @ Tigers Thread

[johnny2x2x]

Are you freaking kidding me? Bases juiced now, 1 out. Come on Nathan. Scherzer pitched a gem.

 

[sggatecl]

Well that didn't take long.

So KC ties it up, but Yost has cost his team Perez, Infante, and Butler from the lineup if it goes extra innings.

 

[tbone413]

wow....Nathan - Breaking my balls man!

 

[sggatecl]

LOL Balk!! Wow...crumbing in game 2!

 

[johnny2x2x]

Mother fuck!!! Way to go Nathan!!! Way to make a good 1st impression with your new team.

 

[Thumb]

Well, that's one way to go...balk the runners to second and third.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Now watch Cabrera hit a walkoff HR and Nathan will get another W.

Scherzer's final line: 8 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K's

Hayes hits a hard grounder to Kinsler who flips to Cabrera for the final out

Tie game 1-1 after 8.5

No decision for Scherzer

 

[tomdalton22]

looks like that duck on 3rd that Miggy couldn't plate in the 6th was an important run. Maybe he will make up for it right here.

 

[byco42]

Looks like Nathan varied from the script at bit.

 

[grandy]

Ciriaco remains in the game at 2nd
Maxwell remains the DH

Wade Devis coming in for Herrera

Cabrera leading off, goes down swinging, 1 out

Victor grounds out to 2nd, 2 out

Hunter pops out to 2nd, 3 out

glad im in interviews all day and couldn't follow this. blown save on a 8 IP gem in gm 2....awesome....

 

[johnny2x2x]

So frustrating to see a blown save after one of your aces just threw 8 shutout innings. Those blown saves count for more than just a BS, they really dishearten a team.

You think Miggy is saying "fk you Nathan"..

My new philosophy, calm. Cool and calm.

 

[Thumb]

That seemed like a lazy play.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hmm..

 

[tomdalton22]
