I am a baseball fan, but I have a hard time watching two teams that I have no afiliation with play, that is until the playoffs when I watch as much as possible. This is the best time of year for sports. College football is getting interesting, baseball playoffs, the NFL, and the NBA is gearing up to begin in a few weeks. Does not get better
You can sum up this sport in two words, 'You never know.'

Was any one else wondering

Was any one else wondering why the Nats manager kept that pitcher in for the entire disastrous ninth inning? Was every other reliever crippled?

It was their closer

it happened fast, and they needed just one more out, in fact just one more strike...twice.

By the time
By the time
the 9th inning had rolled around, the reliable pitchers -- aside from Jordan Zimmerman -- had been used. If you're going to second guess Johnson, here are two -- maybe three -- issues:
-- Why was Storen used in game 3 when the Nats were obviously out of that game? Johnson had to realise that if the Nats were going to win the series, he was going to need Storen in games 4 and 5. Most relievers are less effective when they are pitching on the third consecutive day. And, Storen missed much of the season with injuries so he probably had more stamina issues than most.
-- After the game was tied and Descalso stole second (allowing that to happen uncontested is my possible third issue), why wasn't Kozma walked. That would have led to an at bat by Cruz a very bad hitter AND also gotten Motte out of the game.

Probable Rotation
Probable Rotation
The probable matchup for tonight is Doug Fister versus Andy Pettitte, which I think favors Detroit, and the next three potential starters for Detroit, I would think, become Sanchez, Verlander and Scherzer. I haven't seen anything on the Yankees' rotation other than Pettitte, but then they haven't had a moment to sit down and consider it. The Tigers' starting pitching can put us in a good position to finish this series in six if the bats stay alive, in my opinion.

after Pettite, I would imagine Kuroda, CC, Hughes...not sure the order, but that is their rotation. I'm sure CC will match up against JV.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
October 13th, 2012 at 12:17 PM |
Short rest
Short rest
The only problem with CC matching up against Verlander is CC will be on 3 days rest. Verlander is on short rest too, but 4 versus 3 days is a big difference, especially coming off a complete game. No matter how the matchups shake out, I like the Tigers chances of advancing. Tigers in 6

Did the Nationals cost
Did the Nationals cost
Did the Nationals cost themselves a World Series title with their handling of Stephen Strasburg? If your going to limit the most talented pitcher on your team, why not start pitching him in July instead of April, and have him available for the Playoffs.
October 13th, 2012 at 9:14 AM |
yeah
yeah
total stupid move by the Nats...Strasburg is represented by Boras, he was involved in the whole "shutdown" more than likely, he wanted the Nats to think of his agent, doubt whether Boras thinks much of the Nats in a couple of years when his contract is up. Total stupid move for Nats, Stephen Strasburg will be in pinstripes or Beantown when his contract is up, so they pretty much saved him for them.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!

I had tickets seven rows behind the dugout for game 1 of the NLCS in DC. I hear there are a lot of tickets available for that game.

Yankees...
Yankees...
...are just old. I'm having trouble fathoming how they keep winning their division every year. They are also more beat up than the Tigers right now with nagging injuries. Kind of reminds me how Detroit limped into the series against the Rangers last year.
I feel like the Tigers should dominate (maybe even sweep) this series...except for the bullpen. You just know Benoit/Valverde will blow a late game lead with homers at Yankee Stadium. And assuming that Sabathia wills the Yanks to a win in game 4 (rather than a game 3 head-to-head matchup against Verl) then that would give the Tigers the series 6 games. That sounds about right, Tigers in 6.
MLB playoffs and college football. My two favorite things.
