OT: Tiger pregame/MLB open thread. Who's your Tiger tonight
Quadruple header today leading off with Reds v Giants in deciding game 5
Who is your Tiger tonight?
Tonight is the night we find out if JV is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with the incomparable Jack Morris.
Sabermetric over analysis warning: JV is 29 years old. Jack Morris was 29 in 1984.
I'm going with Justin Verlander as player of the game
October 11th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
Whew I was about to call double play for Young...Keep it going boys!
October 11th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
Bottom of the 7th, Tigers up 6-0
October 11th, 2012 at 11:55 PM ^
A 6-0 lead with JV picthing makes me feel very good about our chances.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:04 AM ^
Verlander has only given up more than 6 runs once this year, in a 8-9 loss to Kansas City. I think it's safe to say we're gonna advance
October 12th, 2012 at 12:08 AM ^
This would be valid if the only pitcher that pitches is Verlander. Unfortunately the bullpen exists. Let's hope we dont have to witness its existence.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:13 AM ^
Verlander's only thrown 97 pitches so far. Depending on how easy the 8th is, I can see him going all 9
October 11th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
Darn it Crisp. How could you catch that?? I thought you were on our side!
October 11th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
O's have scored in the top of the 13th. Hopefully they hang on and take it to Game 5!
October 11th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
Orioles score one to take the lead in the 13th inning.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:02 AM ^
Dirty pitch by Justin.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:03 AM ^
LOL@ mulletboy. 3 pitches. Sit down complainer.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:03 AM ^
Everything about that 7th inning was just lovely.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:08 AM ^
False, Justin only got two strike outs, rather than three.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:08 AM ^
Melvin is a dead ringer for some actor that i cant think of his name right now. anyone?
October 12th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
Kevin Kline?
October 12th, 2012 at 12:26 AM ^
maybe the late Phil Hartman..
October 12th, 2012 at 12:09 AM ^
Orioles win. Gonna take 5, which means the winning team will be playing their 5th consecutive game. Not exactly huge like other sports, but it should help us, especially if Baltimore has to fly to Detroit right after a probable win
October 12th, 2012 at 12:09 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
Let's wait six more outs before having this discussion.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
5 outs left.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
Nobody's throwing in the bullpen. Let's keep it that way. Ride your stud.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
...that could be misinterpreted...
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
JV's thrown 111 pitches, do you send him out for 1 more?
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
Without question.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
I say yes, half becuase I'm afraid of seeing Valverde again this series, half because it's Justin-freaking-Verlander.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 4:04 AM ^
And there's been a rash of Catholic bears around these parts lately.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
All in a day's work for JV.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Hell yes!!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:25 AM ^
It's the 4th quarter in a tie game. Michigan just got the ball on their 20. Do you send Denard into the game?
The answer, of course, is YES!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
Jim better let JV finish what he started. 3 more outs.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
/s
October 12th, 2012 at 12:25 AM ^
Only because we no longer have Jason Grilli.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:22 PM ^
...how I wish theTigers still had Zumaya in his prime.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
No one is warming up. JV has the 9th.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:28 AM ^
Here we go....
October 12th, 2012 at 12:28 AM ^
This Cespedes kid looks like he is going to be an excellent player...his power numbers are only going to go up after this year.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:30 AM ^
October 12th, 2012 at 12:31 AM ^
Golden sombrero baby.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:32 AM ^
Verlander with an MLB record. 22 K's in a division series
October 12th, 2012 at 12:32 AM ^
1 more!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:32 AM ^
ONE MORE.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:32 AM ^
Verlander deserves some Upton loving after tonight's game!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
JV is the shit. Love it
October 12th, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
