  Yeah, like I said before....Last night wouldn't have mattered who he was facing. He had every pitch working and could throw all for strikes. When a pitcher has 3 pitches that are all way above average, he can dominate ant team out there.

  Its not easy to throw a no hitter against anyone. You are saying that the top 3 or whatever you are saying Verlander ranks should throw no hitters against weaker offensive teams in the league?

  The first time the Tribe has been out of 1st place since the 1st week of the season. How will they respond?

  Carmona vs. Penny....Penny has struggled, but Fausto is struggling more--Tigers win 4-2

  lol, they will suck. They have sucked for a month. Why would this be anything but another negative?

  Thats smart. The offense is about 1900 style since Pronk went down. They were actually serviceable before that.
• royal_k

  

  Speaking of Pronk, He went 1-2 with a walk last night.

  Now let's not get TOO negative about tonight's game, my fellow Tribe stalwarts! Afterall, this is a BRF thread (5th one started and record now of 9-4). Look for Carmona to get it together tonight.
  
  Go Tribe!

  Or "listen for...", like I will be doing, as usual. Have faith, brothers!
• wes_mantooth

  

  and fausto in usual form....
  
  1-0 on a dinger in the first.
• like_that

  

  Nice to see Fausto in form tonight.
• wes_mantooth

  

  heard that Fausto has no options, so they either have to release him or send him to the bullpen.
  
  also, this game is now over...wonder if anything else is on tv
• like_that

  

  Well, thats game.
• BRF

  

  Jesus Christ All Mighty! WTF? OK.....I'm not giving up...yet!
• BR1986FB

  WKNR was saying today that Pronk had better be ready by Friday for the upcoming Pirates/Rockies series' because they are at home. After that, the next 10 days will be at National League parks and he'll pretty much be pinch hitting only.
• BRF

  

  GD it, Hammy has now said "that's hit pretty well" 4 times, with nothing to show for it. Oh well, we got Fausto up for the bottom of 2 and 21 outs left.

  Thank you for quoting yourself in the 3rd inning. You just jinxed the Tigers.
