Anyone else hear that random fan yell "Hey Cabrera, nice hair cut!' During that foul ball hahahaha.

Yeah, I was surprised. I expected something like "Go fuck yourself you drunk asshole"

 

[Rising Savior]

Sit down Martin. 4 more out.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Yeah because managers never lie about injuries genius. Yeah 123 inning against the bottom of the order. I'm saying I don't think giradi had faith in Nova. But hey obviously it's worked out so far.

yeah, because needing 7 innings out of your bullpen gives you a better chance of winning then needing 5 or even 6 innings out of it....

dumbass. Girardi isn't a dumbass, he only pulled him when he was effective because he had no choice.

The pen has been bad all series, not just last inning. And Scherzer is still the best option.

Benoit wasn't good at all, he allowed 3 baserunners and an inherited runner to score. Scherzer. Now he needs to go another inning, Valverde (who has not been good at all either) has to go 2, or they have to go to some other guy for one, since Benoit probably can't go a second inning now.

Scherzer could have very easily gone 50-60 innings and then pitch games 3-7 if they go to the ALCS. Now his season could very well be over thanks to a shaky Pen.

The pen as a whole hasn't been great but Benoit has been fine (3 strikeouts and one run in 2 innings in game 2) and had he not fucked up the play in the field then he wouldn't have given up any runs last inning. Even with the one run he still struck out two with the bases loaded. Valverde may not be pretty but he's perfect this season. You can't set the precedent that you don't trust your bull pen because you will need them at some point. Scherzer wasn't exactly pitching lights out.

 

[Rising Savior]

Base hit interesting to see if Gardner goes.

 

[Rising Savior]

Holy shit thought that was gone.

 

[The Best]

Where's Jefferey Maier when you need him?

 

[Big Sexy]

And Benoit does his job. 0 earned runs in 1.2 innings and he gives Valverde a chance to stay perfect on the season.

Before the 7th inning fine, but he did give up a run in Game 2 (and now game 5).

and had he not fucked up the play in the field then he wouldn't have given up any runs last inning. Even with the one run he still struck out two with the bases loaded.

Agree with the K's, but who knows what happens if he fields that ball. And you can't say that it's not his fault for not fielding that ball, that was 100% a bad job by him.

Valverde may not be pretty but he's perfect this season. You can't set the precedent that you don't trust your bull pen because you will need them at some point.

He hasn't blown a save, but he also has looked pretty bad so far this postseason. He's converted all his save attempts, but they aren't pretty. And here you need pretty, since he's got only a 1 run lead.

Scherzer wasn't exactly pitching lights out.

Pretty damn close. Infield hit was what drove him out. He was in the high 90's and getting outs without baserunners.

Where's Jefferey Maier when you need him?

Agreed.

And a Mo Scoreless 9th (as usual). He's yet to throw a Ball (as in not strike) this postseason.

Grandy/Cano/A-Rod vs. Valverde.

 

[The Best]

I'm feeling a Valverde choke here. I'm feeling it.

dumbass. Girardi isn't a dumbass, he only pulled him when he was effective because he had no choice.

I see what your saying but I disagree I think giradi didn't want nova to face the top of the order again. When you have Cc and Hughes in the bullpen it shouldn't matter how long the starter goes. I never said giradi was a dumbass but he's a big numbers guy. Quick inning for Mo.

 

[Stormtrooper]

And Benoit does his job. 0 earned runs in 1.2 innings and he gives Valverde a chance to stay perfect on the season.

that run was 100% earned. It was 100% his fault the run scored. It was an error by himself.

He was good in the 8th, I'll give him that. But his 7th wasn't good at all.

 

[Rising Savior]

This is it Valverde vs 234.

 

[Big Sexy]

30 pitches from Scherzer in 1.1 is not good control. Benoit fielding was his bad but Leyland can't know Benoit is going to fuck up a fielding play. Fact remains the Tigers pitching held the Yankees to 2 runs through 8 and held the lead for the closer. That's all you can ask for.

 

[Rising Savior]

1down.

 

[The Best]

Arod, come on you hit 600+ so far, just one now, please?

 

[Rising Savior]

Up to Arod. Arod is gonna get crushed if he doesn't come up with something here.

 

[Rising Savior]

Arod, come on you hit 600+ so far, just one now, please?

Stop dreaming this is October arod.

 

[klunderbunker]

There's your headline in the New York papers tomorrow.

 

[Big Sexy]

That's why Jim Leyland is the manager and not ST

 

[Rising Savior]

YES YES YES FUCK YES FUCK YES. HE GONE. HAHAHAHA. FUCK YOU YANKEES.

 

[Fizzy]

A-Rod... Oh A-Rod...

Striking out with the bases loaded AND striking out to make the last out of the game. My lord...

 

[Rising Savior]

I like Detroit in the next round.

 

[Rising Savior]

A-Rod... Oh A-Rod...

Striking out with the bases loaded AND striking out to make the last out of the game. My lord...

That's their 30 million dollar man.

 

[The Best]

YES YES YES FUCK YES FUCK YES. HE GONE. HAHAHAHA. FUCK YOU YANKEES.

I'm sorry, 9 games on September 3, 2011?
