OT: ALCS Game 4 Open Thread
Tigers vs. Rangers, game 4. Supposed to start at 4:19, but ESPN is saying tarps are still on the field and there is going to be a rain delay (link). The weather radar doesn't look too hot (link).
If they are able to get the game in, we will see Rick Porcello match up against Matt Harrison. Both had pretty mediocre regular seasons, and both have pitched decently in the playoffs so far. Also, Adrian Beltre, Delmon Young, and V-Mart are all slated to play.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:14 PM ^
Estimated start is 519

October 12th, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
does anyone know if there is a stream available?
October 12th, 2011 at 4:22 PM ^
Has worked well for me so far.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:37 PM ^
much appreciated.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
Let's say the weather doesn't cooperate and they have to cancel tonight's game. Would they just play this tomorrow and bump game 5 to Friday, or would they play a doubleheader tomorrow? I've never seen a series have two games postponed.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
No way it gets postponed though, we have all night to play and it supposed to stop raining within the hour anyway.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Everything will get bumped back a day in Detroit. They will lose the off day and play game 6 and 7 as currently scheduled.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
And JV plays game 4...
October 12th, 2011 at 5:26 PM ^
never ever see a playoff double header.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:24 PM ^
Please come back after we play.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:36 PM ^
Just announced they have pushed start time back to 5:45pm
October 12th, 2011 at 5:49 PM ^
October 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
I'm feeling a 2006 where the Tigers make the World Series and the Wolverines are in the top 5.
October 12th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
630 start time
October 12th, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
October 12th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
Six up, six down for Porcello. Looking good so far.
It's funny looking at all the laptops in my lecture hall - about half of the people have Gamecast up on their screens.
October 12th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
These texas guys just look like a team of assholes with attitudes. Just makes me wanna beat them more. Am I alone in this feeling?
October 12th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Wooo, Porcello is through 3 innings with just 1 hit and 5 K's. Let's give him some support boys!
October 12th, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
Yes!! 2-0
October 12th, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
continuing his personal vendeta against all baseballs
October 12th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Killed that ball. That thing hit the wall in center on a line. Too bad VMART's didn't get down. 2-0 Tigs. Lets go Ricky!
October 12th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
That was close!
October 12th, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
Porcello has been great. Maybe even better than Fister was last night. But we''ll see about that after the rest of the game.
October 12th, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Double play. Forcing ground balls - Porcello doing what he does best.
October 12th, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
just got back from class to see rick turn a big double play.
Pretty sure he intended to go to santi and airmailed him and just happened to hit jhonny there though.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
No before the play, he nodded at Jhonny and I'm pretty sure that meant if there's a ground ball, he's going to Jhonny. It just looked like he meant to throw it to Santiago because he was almost at the bag.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
Nice to join you all for another Tigers ALCS game.
Porcello is having a nice one so far, and the bullpen is already pretty rested from Fister's outing. Things look good.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
Alright I suppose I'll leave now.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:04 PM ^
"Dora The Explorer" has been moved to the low-definition TV in the living room.
I may now watch the game.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
Sheet
October 12th, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
there's the porcello we know giving up 3 runs and an error.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:23 PM ^
Odds against us now up against the Texas bullpen down a run. Let's see what we're made of here.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
Lets go V Mart time to move Cabby over at least!
October 12th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
Delmon and Alex, shame on you.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
the bats are dead...cant get any hits, same as gms 1 & 2.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
WTF ALBERQUERQUE!
October 12th, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
LET'S GO TIGERS! GET SOME RUNS HERE!!!!
October 12th, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
Wow, was that crazy or what that balls leaving Albequerque in there? Was it crazy balls? It worked! Based loaded and no one scores. Still 3-2
October 12th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
I'm going to be sick if we lose this game because of a error on a pickoff. Please don't let me be sick Tigers.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
THANK YOU INGE!!!
October 12th, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
HOLY FUCK INGE REDEMPTION!!!!
October 12th, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
'Inge doesn't hit many homeruns anymore'. I just got this good feeling. Sweet redemption for Inge. Sweet redemption.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
Man I love that guy. Pure grit
October 12th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
Please for the love of God whatever pitcher comes into the game just get a 1-2-3 inning so we can get the offense back out there.
October 12th, 2011 at 9:01 PM ^
Anybody know what his forearm tats say?
GO BLUE!
October 12th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
"poor life decisions"
I hate those things.
October 12th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Names of his two sons. Tyler is one of 'em, don't know the other name.
