No more concerns then we had over the last month and a half, he's not going to get healthy until next year. Just hope he's able to give solid AB's here for (crosses fingers) the next 3 weeks.

he is about 60%. The Tigers rolled the dice by not putting him on the DL, which may come back to bite them now.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:15 PM ^
In essence they needed to keep playing him. We only won the division by a game, obviously take the Miami series into context that we rested alot of players, but the division got real tonight because Cleveland abuses sub .500 teams.

Yeah it was a tough situation. Ideally he would have sat the last 3 weeks. I think they could have sat him longer when he first got injured though about a month and a half ago. Would have made more sense to sit him for at least 2 weeks rather than sit him 2 days, play 2 games, sit another game, play 3 games, DH a game, play 5 innings, sit, play 4, sit... you get the idea. It probably would have amounted to the same number of missed games and actually healed him up some. Don't know what the injury is obviously but it seems like something that some rest would help. Also, the fact that we played an interleague series to end the year is absurd.

lead at one point. My line of thinking is they should have nipped the issues in the bud early on, instead they kept on rolling the dice. Eventually they reached a point of no return, where he wasn't going to be 100% healthy, no matter what they did. He basically missed almost the same amount of time as two week DL stint anyways, considering the games he had to leave early. He is just trying to get by with all arms right now, even for as a talented as he is, that is going to cause a drastic hit in production.
Their record with Miggy wasn't too bad either. They still could have won games without him.

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and I'm even willing to agree with you about sitting him, but at the point he was playing hurt he was still raking in early August. Hard to sit a guy that is still incredibly productive, even if he is playing at 70%. Now obviously it lead to other injuries but I don't think there was really a right call to make whether it be to sit him or play him.
Damnit Bookens....

"He was safe, but the throw beat him and that was stupid, so he was out." WTF kind of statement is that announcers.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:14 PM ^
Announcers just lost all respect from me with that nonsense about the Hunter steal. "He was safe, but the ball beat him there, and that was just a stupid play, so... you're out." Excuse me?
October 4th, 2013 at 11:21 PM ^
October 4th, 2013 at 11:14 PM ^
Did that announcer actually just say that even though he was safe the fact that the throw beat him to the bag means he should be out anyway so no prob on the bad call? WTF!
October 4th, 2013 at 11:15 PM ^
Evidently he did. I just thought I had taken one to many bong hits tonight. Wow. What an idiot.

Wish we had Joe Buck. Wait... what?
October 5th, 2013 at 12:02 AM ^
Are they worse than Ernie Johnson,Ron Darling, and Cal Ripken...and lts not forget Craig Sager?? Watching the Braves-Dodgers game was terrible.
Another gripe while I'm at it, the TBS pitch locator sucks ass.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
Max looks filthy, with a pitch count at 79 I'm hopeful he can go 7 possibly 8 innings tonight.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:21 PM ^
I want to see some complete games from our rotation in the playoffs if games are close. They're our best options and there's no need to save them anymore. Especially with such a low pitch count.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
the dumbest statement I have ever heard an announcer make. Hate the whole ball beats a guy, so he is out line of thinking. You see it all the time from the umps, in terms of missing calls. Don't often see announcers try and cover for it, by making idiotic statments though.
And how do they figure that was horrible decision by Hunter? The 2nd basemen and pitcher weren't paying attention. That is heads up thinking on his part.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:22 PM ^
The fact that he was safe alone makes it a good decision in my book.

I live in China and have not watched much of the Tigers this year. I just read a lot and always come across stories about how Scherzer should not win the Cy Young (advanced stats).
Small sample size is obvious but if tonight is representative of his year, give him the Cy Young.

Squandered an opportunity for add on runs.

a turning point in this game. Tigers have outhit Oakland 10-1, but lead is still not in safe territory.
At first I thought sending Victor was a horrible decision, but after seeing the replay it was literally a perfect throw. A slightly offline throw and he probally scores.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:46 PM ^
October 4th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
Scherzer might go 8 tonight.
October 4th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
of that Dodgers/ Braves game before they showed that highlight. Interesting call to end that game, would need to see it again.
