Texas Rangers (2-0) at Detroit Tigers (0-2)
Probable Pitchers:
Tuesday October 11, 8:05p:
RHP Colby Lewis (1-0, 1.50 ERA, 6 K, 1 BB)
Hitter to Fear: Austin Jackson (6 for 15, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI)
Hitter To Fail: Don Kelly (2 for 8, 3 K)
at
RHP Doug Fister (1-1, 6.52 ERA, 10 K, 4 BB)
Hitter to Fear: Nelson Cruz (7 for 14, 2 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI)
Hitter to Fail: Mitch Moreland (1 for 11, 1 K)
What to Watch For:
1. The Detroit Tigers have 7 different players batting .300 or higher against Rangers starter Colby Lewis. This would seem to be a great game to finally get those bats swinging. Unfortunately, Lewis is 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in 5 postseason starts.
2. History says that the Rangers truly hate playing in the city of Detroit. Since Comerica Park opened in 2000, they have the worse record playing there in the American League (23-34).

Hitter to Fear: Austin Jackson
Here’s another one:
A guy walks into a bar wearing nothing but a set of jumper cables. He says, “Bartender, give me a beer.” The bartender says, “You can have a beer, but I don’t want you starting anything!”
"i think it will be mostly feast the rest of the year,"
Hey if the Giants could beat the Rangers
with the likes of Edgar Renteria, Aubrey Huff, and Cody Ross providing the offensive firepower, i think we might have a shot
zackly
Pitching will rule the day.
Fister pitches 7 strong today, Tiger bats finally click, 8-1 in a laugher.
Kid Rick throws a gem tomorrow. Papa scares the shit out of us, but we prevail 4-2 thanks to back-topback cblows from miggy and VMart (about time!)
Best pitcher in baseball proves he’s the best pitcher in baseball.
Back to Texas, 3-2 Tigers.

I was going to ask about the Rangers
being notoriously awful in Detroit.

Have a thing at Church…that’s a good thing right? I mean…if I manage to pay attention to what’s going on and not keep looking at my droid?
Don't Panic!
I can't game thread either
Have homework and a lab report to finish. I’ll have the game on, though. #LETSGOTIGERS
