Not sure about Randy, he's not a lead off type player, need someone that can work the count and find away to get on. Not sure he does that very well.

What bout Rubles as lead?

Ferguson is so bad

Ferguson is so bad

Except for the double play that Crawford failed to turn, that was the only part of yesterday's game that got me upset. For the life of me, I can't understand how a major league pitcher can lack that much control to be dishing out 4 pitch walks when he has a 7 run lead in the bottom of the ninth.

But the rest of the pitching was superb as it has been the past two games, and our bats finally came alive.

With a short turnaround today, I was hoping that we could preserve Munoz. But it only took him 9 pitches to get the side out, so it's not as if we burned him up. I'll be on the road this PM, so I'll have to listen to most of the game on the radio. I found an app, Seattle Sports, that has a live radio stream of the game.

Damn that was close!

0:12 to 0:16 in this vid was one of my favorite moments of last night's game:

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Walter is just filthy

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Also, why not Hancock instead of batting peactice Ferguson?

 

[Ruminator]

Oh, NO!!! It's only going to be "mostly sunny" at 4:00 p.m. in Detroit!

 

[Crizilla]

Games already over. 6-3 Ms win.
See ya in the ALCS thread.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nah. Their starter is damn good.
I see us winning 5-3, 5-4, something like that. Wilson better damn well have a quick hook if needed. Hancock can eat up some innings.

 

[NoGain]

I don't know what DW is thinking/scheming. Personally, I want this game played like the seventh game in the WS. I do not want to return home and face Sku again. My first guy out of the pen would be Kirby if a hook is needed before the, say, sixth inning, and then start going through our four best relievers depending upon matchups, Bazardo, Brash, Speier, and Munoz.

Of course, nothing would make me happier than to jump out to an early lead. This is a big one for us today, as in history of the franchise. I hope watching it isn't going to be akin to passing a giant kidney stone.

Let’s hope the bats keep blasting hits and home runs.

I was happy to see Cal get that home run. End it today.

 

[NoGain]

A lot of empty seats. Maybe fans are just coming late from work or something.

[86Hawk]

Lets finish this!

 

[Chapow]

It's a Naylor sighting!

 

[NoGain]

Nice to get the first run.

 

[Chapow]

Naylor with the dub. Canzone drives him in. Mize is already at 35 pitches through 2. Damn good start.
