Game 152 Overflow Thread

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on

This game took on that feeling of dread for a while, as the Tigers wasted some scoring opportunities, while Justin Verlander seemed to think he could just throw the baseball past everyone on his way to falling behind 2-0. 

However, the universe appears to have corrected itself, and Carlos Carrasco started hemorrhaging singles, leading to four Tigers runs. 

Tigers 4, Indians 2 heading to the bottom of the sixth inning.

kinda make the point about bunting didn't it?

Bunt when you need one in the ninth (maybe). Not in the sixth.

I didn't see the reason to give up the out in that sitaution.

I’m against sac bunting. I can see doing it in extras or the 9th (maybe) but any earlier is crazy.

It happens in the top of the third

…but my video is so choppy I’m not sure what all they showed. He was yelling “Call some strikes already!” from the dugout and the umpire tossed him. It sounded like he yelled “You can’t do that to me” but didn’t come out of the dugout or anything, so it’s not likely to go beyond this game.

Just got finished with the FlashForward premiere

and now I cannot not watch this show.

Why? The lone person in the world (that we know of) who was awake during the flashforward was an unknown man at Comerica Park. Or at least, “a ballpark in Detroit”. So the episode ended with me yelling at the screen “Why the hell is Suspect 0 at a Tigers game!?”.

And I’ve heard Miggy has a bit part in a future episode, so…..
