Well, the Indians showed us who’s boss. The Tigers squandered a chance to make-up ground on the Indians and fell further behind in the wild-card race. Any time you have a pitcher give up 1 hit over 7 innings, I would think the chances of winning are pretty high. Incredibly high, to be honest.
2.5 games out with 13 to play is not a good place to be.
No VMart or Kins today. No idea why not.
1. Cameron Maybin, CF
2. Jose Iglesias, SS
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. J.D. Martinez, RF
5. Justin Upton, LF
6. James McCann, DH
7. JaCoby Jones, 3B
8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
9. Andrew Romine, 2B
I know you are all waiting for my prediction for the rest of the season. I think Baltimore will get in but they need to at least split with the Red Sox. (0-1. Boston won last night.) If they lose 3 or 4 it makes their job much harder. If the Tigers can go 10-3 in these last 13 games, they should get the 2nd wild card. I’m almost sure they won’t be able to do that. 4 losses will give them an outside chance. 5 or more losses and we can start planning for 2017 a little sooner than we wanted. Need I say how important these games with the Twinkies are?
I can only guess that Ian and Victor are suffering from the shots they took from the Indians pitcher. Hopefully it is not serious.
Victor has been suffering for a month. We can’t afford to lose Ian though.
Thanks Bauer…I hope you pitch in Detroit next week.
McCann DH, batting 6th. Ok.
Upton..called strike 1..called strike 2…called Strike 3…in the games we must win…Right Brad!
Sorry, but why is that Brad’s fault? Do you give him credit for Dozier striking out too?
Didn’t blame Brad .just seeing if he agrees!..
Miguel trying to do everything himself. Hard to blame him.
Amazing running by Cabrera or was that Jackie Robinson manufacturing a run!
MIGGY!
Miggy one of the few who understand winning. . How bout that making of a run!!!..still an amazing player!
Theres no way Clarke sent him..Clark has been terrible all year!..in fact would there even be one member of the coaching staff that you would say he did a really good job this year…any???
I can’t recall their 2nd Base Coach doing anything wrong.
Of course Clark didn’t send him, Miggy ran his stop sign in Cleveland. If he hadn’t we would not have taken the lead. Miggy is not our fastest runner but he is easily our smartest.
Boyds dealin!..keep it up youngster!
That Line drive out in the top of the sixth by Salty was as good as a hit for him
Heaven help us if we have to start this lineup in the playoffs!
It’s Miggy time. Hope it continues.
Boyd a factor to be considered in 2017
To negative. Salty already had a hit.Sorry.Does anyone know why Clark is at 3rd? Who is he related to? The boys don’t need him tonight! Just waving to him on the way by.
TGFT – Thank God for Twinkie’s
That’s why we MUST sweep them. The next 7 won’t be as easy.
What do you know, McCann ran into one. Doubtful Victor would have.
Think of what a threat he would be if he ever learns the strike zone.
+1
OK, we will still win but I would have let Boyd start the 9th. Maybe Lowe can find his way with an easy mop up.
Terrific start for Boyd, Miggy plays small ball and bombs away and Big Papi helps us with the O’s. Life is good tonight.
Boyd did tonight what most left handed pitchers have done TO the Tigers all year….Stay out of the strikezone..go outside..go below..batters will swing…oh batters will swing!
