Dang it. Bad bounce for the Rangers. 3-2 Tigers.

 

[cowboyeric8]

Not looking good. 4-2 Tigers

CJ free agent contract value--;

 

[cowboyeric8]

Well that should just about do it. Thanks CJ you are still absent in the playoffs. 6-2 Tigers.

 

[Air Force One]

It's still baseball, and it's still Verlander on the mound.

He's been killing us the whole series tho. Don't get me wrong I really like Mike, but man he's gone cold at the worst possible time and has been leaving runners on like crazy.

 

[cowboyeric8]

Without him we don't win yesterday. Yes he is cold, but still a tough out.

 

[cowboyeric8]

CJ free agent contract value--;

He is literally losing millions. It's amazing what we have done without an ace.

Forget CJ and his 100 mil contract. I'd rather be frugal this offseason and hold off until a year from now so we can get into the Clayton Kershaw sweepstakes. That's someone you give 100 mil to. Even if it means letting CJ walk and using Colby Lewis or Derek Holland as your #1 next season.

Speaking of Holland, if he's pitching game 6, chalk that one up as a loss. We're going 7

Why do you chalk it up as a loss? Good Holland can appear at anytime. And Sherzer isn't all that special. Also our bats can go off anytime. I hate the defeatist attitude.

I'm not too big on Baseball, but wasn't the first RBI that went off the base a foul? I know that if it hits the base it's in, but didn't it bounce outside of the third base line first? Or does that not matter?

Doesn't matter. If the ball hits the base it is fair.

 

[DFWJC]

Oh well.

The silver lining is I may go to the game Sat. night.

 

[Nova]

Doesn't matter. If the ball hits the base it is fair.

So if it hits foul first and bonces back in before it gets out of the infield, its fair?

 

[cowboyeric8]

Uehara has been a complete failure.

 

[Nova]

absolutely. Still Wilson didn't help us any. Now only if our Bats can finally come to life next game. This looks like it's over with Uehara.

If it was a regular season game, sure. But Holland wets his pants on the big stage regularly.

If it bounces foul first then comes back in before third or first base it is fair. If it hits either bag it is fair because the bases are in fair territory.

 

[DFWJC]

Uehara has been a complete failure.

When has faced at least 3 batters, has he ever fialed to give a home run in these playoffs?

He is epically bad.

 

[Air Force One]

Man this sucks I wanted this thing over with tonight

 

[cowboyeric8]

If it was a regular season game, sure. But Holland wets his pants on the big stage regularly.

He was ok in the division series and he just couldn't locate the last game.
