Tribe

[knowthegame]

top of order Tigers 8th inn Jake STILL IN! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!:aktion0

U SUCK Casey.. Come on Maggs

ANOTHER man left in scoring position. PATHETIC!!!:youmad:

 

[zeketaylor]

grady got them balls....hang down to his knees, lol....sweet stretch...classic case here...blake couldnt bunt runner over earlier in game...now he can be hero...

as someone who is often on the tuff luck side in game like this (arent we all)......it seems so typical that indians string togeter a few here, and win a game they dont deserve vs a team who has had every chance to beat them all day long.....


outhit, outplayed defensivley, outcoached.....detroit has played a better game all around, one hit here from the meat of tribe lineup puts them in driver seat

 

[zeketaylor]

u guys see what marcus thames did to betancourts first pitch?

hit it about 400 feet, just foul

 

[MistaFlava]

Betancourt better get his shit straight

 

[zeketaylor]

i got what i wanted...and now i just want betancourt out...his slow delivery and poor pitching is gonna put the winning run on 2nd either by walk or letting guy steal 2nd......is aw betancourt get 2 automatic balls called aganst him 2 months ago for taking longer than 30 seconds tod eliver ball to plate

prodigy prolly remembers it

 

[prodigy]

betancourt threw 1.2 innings yesterday and its showing. hes not his normal overpowering self.

 

[zeketaylor]

all day tribe pitchers handled the good bats of tigers, and been putting santiago, inge, and rabelo on base with hbp, walks, and hits........u can only put guys on for granderson and polanco so often be4 they knock one in.......


theres no doub tin my mind this santiago kid plays a role in tigers winning...hes been the man all day doin little things

 

[knowthegame]

shit

was hoping Sheff was good enough to Pinch hit.... guess nothno:

 

[MistaFlava]

2 outs

 

[prodigy]

zeke is right - last time cleveland was in detroit, there was drama about the tigers tipping off the umpires to betancourt's long pauses in between pitches. the guy takes damn near forever in between pitches. still never seen a guy called out for it though.

2 outs, 2 on.
pitching change

 

[zeketaylor]

yes.....first good decision wedge has made in over a month, hes pulling betancourt for a lefty...

 

[MistaFlava]

betancourt threw 1.2 innings yesterday and its showing. hes not his normal overpowering self.

what does he usually top out at...90-91 mph?

do u remember the 2nd base umpire holding stop watch and twice issuing automatic balls due to delay of over 30 secs?

didnt even know that rule existed

 

[MistaFlava]

3 outs


now lets get a cheap one in the top of the inning

 

[zeketaylor]

tribe definitely stole some momentum there....martinez hafner garko......is ee a leadoff walk or double setting table here for tribe....too bad they cant bunt for shit...and dont have players impending at bats that they would bunt with....gonna have to smash there way to a win if they r gonna do it in the 10th.

 

[zeketaylor]

3 outs


now lets get a cheap one in the top of the inning

cheap ones r possible...but not with the guys we got coming up...we r gonna have to earn it...but like u id rather see leadoff walk to a guy named grady, a steal a bunt, and sac fly....but that isnt likely with victor, travis, and garko coming

 

[knowthegame]

unreal

freaking choke jobs. ALLOF em!:youmad:

 

[yanni_gogolak]

freaking choke jobs. ALLOF em!:youmad:

you do realize that someone has to win

martinez leadoff double....call me aprophet...but i guess if u r a bulletin board junky like me and type messages constantly...u got to be right eventually....lol


pls bunt garko? even if to avoid double play?
