HR call was close. Given the trajectory it was going over the yellow line and it didn't appear Reddick was going to get it. However, with the fan touching the ball now we'll never know. It would have changed the game if reversed but not necessarily the outcome.

I was amazed Leyland left Sherzer in with the bases loaded and nobody out. He definitely came through. That said, I can't believe he put Max in at all. He's been pretty adamant about NOT moving starters up. I think Verlander's showing in game 2 and the fact he'll be fully rested for game 5 greatly influenced that decision.

Speaking of game 5. I'd really like to see V-Mart catch, Miggy DH, Peralta play 3rd, and preferrably Dirks in LF. Avila hasn't hit and Miggy's hurting too much to be effective defensively. Plus, there's a TON of foul territory to cover in LF in Oakland that I know Jhonny can't cover. This could result in the A's trying to run more on V-Mart but I'd take that risk vs a weak fielding 3B and LF. Just my

BTW Go Tigers!!!
