    Interesting fan interference non call.

    I just sit here and lol. The dodgers have a better lineup this year alone. Go look at Boston's lineup...better than detroits with a lot less holes. With Miggy basically useless, detroits lineup just isn't that great.

    Yep.....and Freddy Garcia was in line to win until the guy with better stuff shit himself in the 8th

    The playoffs is a whole different animal...not for everyone....a place where no opposing fan wanted to see Craig Counsell come up to the plate in a big moment.

    Cue the Tigers scoring 14 on 19 hits in game 5.

    Your talking the Detroit game, correct? Not something in the Rays game that I have missed?

    It was very interesting. I think the right call on that would have been a double if the home team was in the field, and an out if the visiting team were in the field like they were in this case.

    So if the Rays were going to let Ellsbury have 2nd without a play, why would they not try to throw out Bogaerts trying for 3rd on the 2 out hit to center on the previous play?

    Red Sox pick a terrible batter(Ross) to try a "hit and run" with!
  • Ironman92
    Seems like 75% of the players remaining in the playoffs are either fiery or gritty.

    The only fiery or gritty players on the Reds are some of their pitchers.

    They were probably going to. The players probably thought so for sure until a pitching change was made and Peralta with the huge leg kick came in.

    For fuck's sake Rodney pitch the fuckin ball. He doesn't look like he gives two shits about pitching to save his team's life.

    And his hat looks like an old man that fell down with a hat on and makes his way back to his feet.

    I don't know if there are enough Rays fans to give a fuck.....but if there are there can't be any baby penguins, koalas or kittens in that part of Florida after watching this dumb shit pitch.

    Jackson .272
    Hunter .304
    Cabrera .348
    Fielder .279
    Martinez .301
    Infante .318
    Peralta .303
    Iglesias .260
    Avila .227

    5 guys with significant playing time above .300 and 2 others above .270. That's pretty damn good and a pitching staff that set the MLB record for K's in a season
    I mean, lets compare to the 2 teams I mentioned.

    Jackson .272 - Elsbury .298 - Crawford .283
    Hunter .304 - Victorino .294 - Ethier .272
    Cabrera .348 - Pedroia 301 - Ramirez .345
    Fielder .279 - Ortiz .309 - Gonzalez .293
    Martinez .301 - Napoli .259 - Puig .319
    Infante .318 - Nava .303 - Uribe .278
    Peralta .303 - Salty .273 - Shumaker .263
    Iglesias .260 - Drew .253 - Ellis .270
    Avila .227 - Carp .296 - P ???

    Granted I dont know Boston or LAD line-ups like I know Detroits (in terms of who played all year), but way to conveniently list a line-up who has played 3 total games together lol. Detroits bottom 3, any combo of Garcia, Santiago, Dirks, Kelly, Tuiasosopo, was terrible.

    The LAD line-up is with Ethier in it, because he played almost all year. Not with Kemp, who was out over half the games.

    SMH.....now he drills the Flyin Hawaiian in the ribs. I wish he'd go out there and karate the shit out of him.

    Never in my life have I seen a demeanor that cared less on the mound.

    I like Oakland at home. I think they get to JV this time around and the fatman pitches a gem.

    But that is currently the Tigers lineup. I don't think that they're better than those teams but it's pretty damn even. If the Tigers were dominant they would have won 100+ games, and the reason they don't mainly is lack of speed and defense. Peralta is a below average LF, Miggy can't move, Omar has no range and Prince is well Prince. Hunter and Jackson are good but that's it and is a main concern since that is what usually wins tight games. However the pitching staff is pretty damn good
