Tigers vs. royals Game Thread Sept. 24

[Thumb]

Please use Dotel or Marte or someone else in the 9th now.

We don't need Valverde or Benoit.

well...here we go..

The Indians are playing hard. Still lead 1-0 top 5.

 

[biggunsbob]

damn sox have runners on 1st and 2nd no outs in the fifth..

 

[kalinecountry]

Valverde with the OCD front and back of the cap touch several times,

buckle up,

 

[biggunsbob]

Jim using Jose again... Over under 22.5 pitches..

 

[kalinecountry]

Tonight was Verlander's 29th outing of 8-or-more innings since start of 2011. He leads Felix Hernandez (23) among all pitchers.

I'll take the under, but just barely, because Frenchy and Hosmer suck balls.

 

[mhughes0021]

may i ask why valverde is in? lol. are is that questions so redundant youre not even allowed to ask anymore? So who closes tomorrow if we need a closer?

 

[spockmaster]

i dont care if we use valverde here, hes one of our worst relievers. use him in non save situations like this and use benoit to close.



thats what leyland SHOULD do. he'll probably just keep using him in close games and valverde will keep sucking in them.


at any rate, great game from justin. we needed it.

Benoit doesn't like to close and hasn't performed well in those situations.

1-1 in chicago..top of sixth..

 

[biggunsbob]

yes!!!

 

[27tigers]

and a 2 run homer run off sale almost at the same time the Tigers game ends. 3-1 Go Indians!!!

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers win 6 - 2,

Verlander wins his 16th, and tonight's win is the 123rd of Verlander's career, tying him with Frank Lary for 10th place in franchise history.

Valverde in non save touches front and back of his cap 1500 times between his 16 pitches,

Tigers Victory Cigar.

 

[27tigers]

Verlander I think back in cy young talks after this win. Will he make 2 more starts this year? I don't think 17 wins will be enough because Weaver and Price might get 20 a piece.
