Hard to win a game or even put up a fight when the bats are silent.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

I'm hoping they are loud a lot more than silent this season....they will need to be, considering the bulk of Detroit's bullpen is questionable.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

What a exciting game for the A's last night.. Up 3-0, then 4-1, then down 4-5, then end up winning 9-4.

Great game. 6 winning streak now! WOO HOO!! :chr

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Tigers bats were a bit more alive yesterday, Cabrera and Fielder 2 and 4 in AL RBIs. That keeps up and they should rise to the top of the division quickly.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Braves are 8-1. Justin Upton and Evan Gattis are on FIRE! Long season.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Tom, Your Tigers come to Oakland starting tomorrow.. Care to make a wager of a 5er.. Who takes the 3 game series..?

-(P :ss :fu

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

For fun, why not, Garry? NC, CC, what would you like to do?

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Carlos Quentin knocks Zack Greinke out with a broking collarbone after charging the mound. Says he was throwing at him. Quentin is a huge D-bag and always has been. He stands two inches off of the plate and is always diving into the pitch. Also, it was a 2-1 game and it was a 3-2 count.

I don't even like Greinke but Quentin is a washed up, former steroid tiger that just wanted his name in the news again. Apparently Matt Kemp went after Quentin in the parking lot after the game as well. Mattingly had a great quote saying that Quentin shouldn't play another game until Greinke pitches another game....Too bad that won't be the case.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Tough break for the Dodgers.

How's the weather in MN?
Sports radio is buzzing here about the Mets getting snowed out tonight!

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

NC, as I own no CC. I know we did this during the playoffs last year and you won.. I want a rematch.:gary

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Oh, and about his broken collar bone.. I know they bashed shoulders.. But it didn't look that bad.. Maybe it happened during the dog pile?

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Deal, Good Luck Brother. :tu

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Sweet.. I wish I would be able to watch them.. I have some plans tonight.. and will be busy this weekend. Good thing I bought the MLB TV.. got the app on my phone to keep me posted..

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

No need.

Double Jackson
Single Hunter
Double Cabrera
Home Run Fielder
5 straight outs
Repeat 4 times

Starting pitcher 5 good innings
Bullpen 4 innings of a tightrope act

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Really? Is this how it has been so far? :confused:

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Most games. :r

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

What a game Tom! Such a upper and downer.. 1 more for me to win our deal!

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Wish it would've gotten snowed out. God awful pounding by your team...

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

I just asked how the weather was.
That's no reason to insult me! :D

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Maybe we need to play in the cold all the time. Put a whopping on the Twins yesterday 16-5. Wright, Murphy, and Buck each had 4 RBIs...and Buck hits another HR (Grand Slam)...did not see that coming at all. At 6-4 right now...I certainly thought we'd be where the Marlins are at 1-9. :D

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Doesn't get much closer than that, congrats.

Tigers need to win 2 in a row in Oakland, no easy task. Hope Verlander can pull off one today. Otherwise, Gurkhas are ready to fly. :)

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Yankees turn your typical routine 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play last night against the Os. :r

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

I prefer the 867-5309. ;)

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Rikki, don't lose that number.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

One is the lonliest number that you'll ever do....

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Love that!

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Verlander gets 'er done, all even Garry. Hoping Sanchez can help me keep these Gurkhas with Daddy tomorrow. ;)

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Garry, I see you logged on after the A's game....where was the :woing today?

;) ;s :r

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Told you I was busy. I caught it in the 5th inning.

They did not hit at all. I'm convinced Verlander pays the umpires off. This umpire was inconsistent.

Again, no excuse for a loss. A's need to jump out early and hard tomorrow.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

I was just ribbing you, Garry, saw you had been on around 7:30. ;)

I could wish the A's good luck today, but I wouldn't mean it. :lr

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Tigers pitching actually showed up for 9 full innings....bats too.

Sorry, Garry....yuo need to stop betting with me. :)

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

From the score, I am kinda glad I wasn't able to watch yesterday's game.:sl

Go ahead and PM me your addy and I will get them out this week.

And for the betting.. I thought we had a chance.. Never will I stop.. That means I don't believe in my team.

It was fun.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Thanks Garry, it was fun.

I seen that elsewhere.. Someone said, Nice move goldberg. Made me laugh.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

As much as I hate to say it, tonight's Met game is a must watch!
Harvey Vs. Strasburg.
Should be fun to watch these young kids deal.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Agreed!!

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

The match-up of Harvey vs Strasburg really never developed. Mets beats the Nats 7-1. Harvey pitched 7 strong innings and only giving up one run...to improve to 4-0. Can you say R.A. who?? :r :r Davis and Duda...the DD Boys each hit two HRs.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

OK, so what about that play in the 8th of the Brewers/Cubs game last night. Jean Segura steals second successfully, then steals FIRST successfully, and THEN is caught stealing second!

"WTF??", you ask? Well, it happened. :r:r

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Saw that Thomas. WTF??? First time I've ever seen someone steal second, and THEN steal first. Umps blew that one. :D

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Definitely one of the stranger plays I've seen.
I feel like there have been a ton of odd plays and happenings this year.
The Yanks 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play, and the whole Zach Greinke incident comes to mind.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Porcello gives up 9 runs before 3 outs in the first, and the Tigers are out of it before going through their order once.

Through 17 games:

Jackson .316
Hunter .400
Cabrera .347 18 RBI
Fielder .328 19 RBI

and the rest of the team (besides Peralta) can't hit a lick. Feels a lot like last year already. Well, they won the AL Championship, so I guess that's not all bad. :r

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Twins sweep a rain shortened, two game series with the ChiSox. Pitching has surprised the hell out of me this year and our bullpen has been great. Above .500 again. I think last year we were above .500 for about 3 games. Fun start to the season. Hope they can keep it going.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Twins going for six straight tonight against the poor Marlins. Can't believe this start of the season for us. After all the terrible teams I usually get to watch around here this has been a great surprise!

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Tigers buy out Jose Valverde's Single A contract, bring him up to the Big Club, and he gets a 1-2-3 9th inning save.

I should be happy, but I am more nervous than happy right now. :lr

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

The Tiger's bullpen must be as bad as you say, Tom.
Did anybody ask Miggy if he knows how to pitch? :D

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Curious to see how he bounces back.. Does he have a chip on his shoulder and just power through, or will he fall apart... again.

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Yup...is he 2011 Valverde, or 2012 Valverde?

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

OK, after watching Phil Coke and Darin Downs implode today, bring on Valverde. :tu

Re: MLB 2013 Thread
 

Anibal Sanchez sets a Tigers record with 17 strikeouts in 8 shutout innings.....10-0 win over Atlanta. He's a good one. ;)
