Comments on: It’s only one game, but it’s still a win http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2004/04/its-only-one-game-but-its-still-winphp/ News, views, and analysis on the Detroit Tigers and baseball Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:29:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Dave http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2004/04/its-only-one-game-but-its-still-winphp/#comment-108 Dave Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://test.detroittigersweblog.com/2004/04/05/its-only-one-game-but-its-still-win.php/#comment-108 This comment is from 1 Tiger fan that made the journey to Toronto to watch the game and I for one was not disappointed. I would have liked to have seen Shelton and Coyler get into the game, but was pleased none the less with the effort. Some concerns: Munson's D at 3rd is still shaky and his AB's were not very impressive. I liked the patience at the plate, making Halladay throw 21 1st inning pitches and over 100 pitches through 6 innings. But was disappointed with the called third strikes they did take. Come on fellas, take the bat off your shoulder for just a swing or two. And I know it's been said before about what Pudge means to this team, but it's more than just his offense and defense too. On numerous occasions, after big AB's or turning points in the game, Pudge was the 1st one out of the dugout to high 5 his teammates or praise them for their effort. That sort of leadership was sorely lacking last year and can not be measured with $$$$$ signs.
