2012 ALCS: Yankees vs Tigers

[redsoxrules]

Huge missed chance by Fielder . That 91 MPH fastball was dead middle of the plate

[rjortiz]

That's a hit to center if Jeter is playing SS.

[Brennan]

So let me get this straight, the bankee$ have scored in 1 of 24 innings in this series? No wonder there is no one here to back them. Sox fans don't do that.

[Brennan]

If the bankee$ spent half the effort they give to slowing down the game by visits to the mound and changing the pitcher every time he gives up a hit to actually trying to manufacture a run they might actually do something.

[Brennan]

Detroit just screwed themselves out of a few runs there. That was dumb and might be a game changer if the yankoffs remember how to hit a baseball.

[Brennan]

Ump is giving logan some strike calls that are WAY outside now. Maybe they think that's gonna help new york hit.

[Palodios]

Verlander, you are my hero.

[Brennan]

Verlander is the real deal. It helps the Tigers that the right field wall isn't right behind first base. Not seeing Ichiro knocking them out of the park lately.

[Brennan]

Last chance to try to actually score a run here stanks. Otherwise it's 1 inning out of 27 that they scored.

[Divinity]

Nunez takes Verlander deep!!!

[Palodios]

Uhoh. I sure hope this doesn't turn into a Pedro inning.

[Brennan]

yankoffs get a run and the fans crawl out of the darkness.

I was watching the presidential debate, it was more entertaining than this game.

[Brennan]

Verlander nearing 130 pitches. Think Leyland trusts Valverde?

[Brennan]

Hmmmm.

[Palodios]

Phil Coke closing against the middle of the Yankee order?

 

Well s***.

[Brennan]

Leyland is a dumbass.

[OriginalUsername]

Leyland is a dumbass.

 

He should go with his reliable closer.

[Divinity]

Coke hasn't thrown a single pitch in the strike zone.

[Divinity]

Nice at bat for Tex

[Divinity]

It comes down to Ibanez once again.

[Brennan]

Coke is gonna blow this.

[Divinity]

Coke is gonna blow this.

 

Lies....

[Brennan]

Nope. Coke just ended up proving that you can come in with nothing, throw crap in the general direction of the catcher and still shut down the worlds most expensive team who are supposedly fighting for their playoff lives. a-roid and swisher didn't K tonight though so there's a positive!

Not really, he wasn't able to get out Texeira or Cano, then Ibanez hit two fouls and the slider Coke threw to get him out was probably the best one he's thrown in his entire career.

[Bellhorn04]

Coke has saved the last 2 games. Amazing.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nunez takes Verlander deep!!!

 

But the Yankees still fall short!!!! No hero tonight sucker

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

At most Yankees win 2 games, I say they win 1 unless they show a better performance last series. They play like they did with the Orioles, they're going to get ROCKED.

 

^That 1 win I predicted will come from CC, forget winning 2 games.

Actually Cano's last AB is a good example for how screwed up he is right now. Cano got a hit on a good piece of hitting (for a change) but he should have been looking for that 2-0 pitch exactly where it was thrown. Cano did not even offer at it which means he could not have been looking for it. There is no explanation for that other than Cano has got himself as screwed up now as Agons had himself at one point this year.

 

That pitch should have been either bouncing around in the RF bleachers or way out in RF careening around the fence. Cano would have either been on 1st or 2nd and the runner would have either been on 3rd or home with the tying run!

 

Yanks had the best shot they were ever going to have at Verlander at home in the post season and just did not have hitters able to take advantage. Ichiro continued to have good at bats, Nunez had a couple, Gardener had good at bats although that was a ridiculous situation for him to be in. Raul had a few good at bats. That rocket that Raul hit and Prince made a good play on would have had Ichiro on 3rd and Raul would have probably made it to 2nd.

 

Yank's continue to widen the strike zone on themselves. So even in nights like tonight when they were generally more patient, swinging out of their shoelaces at pitches outside the strike zone made it more difficult to execute on the pitches that they should have been hitting.
