The MFYs' archrivals, the Red Sox, will take on the team that knocked the MFYs out of the postseason the last three times they had the chance, the Tigers. From that perspective, they are both worthy combatants for the American League pennant.

I wouldn't take him out. If Bostons gonna get back in this they gotta start putting hits together, knock him out, and get to the pen. They may not fare any better but they gotta get past him. Veras is warming up. Scherzer at 108 pitches. Looks like they will go to the pen. Could get interesting.

They said the Tigers have no lefty starters. In the bullpen, the Tigers have Smyly (pitched earlier that inning), Alvarez and Coke, all lefties.

I was talking for Bostons sake when I said knock him out. And I thought they would have to do that. I'd have left him in myself, using my bump strategy. And he would have had probably three bumps. That was a quick hook. I think 108 pitches is of no concern in the post season. Boston didn't even have to knock him out. Leyland surrendered him.

The cop in the bullpen is the best. He's celebrating more than anyone and when Hunter crashes to the ground he gives way to the players, then decides his best role is to make sure the door is open after it's already opened. The whole time he never loses his grip on the snack (peanuts? Seeds?) in his fist.

If someone were to show you then & now pictures of Mike Napoli, like they did the other night only just still shots, from back when he hit his 1st ML HR off Justin Verlander in 2006 and then when he hit the one which won the 1-0 game; and you were to compare the clean-shaven, relatively clean-cut, non-tatted look of the younger one to the shaved-headed, gnarly-bearded, inked-up version of today, which thought would pop into your head first:

That was something I was going to mention in the 'Closerland' thread -- that about 1/3 of the guys who led their team in saves this season either didn't start or didn't finish the year in that job. In some of the cases it was injuries (Parnell) but in others a lack of getting the job done forced a change somewhere between opening day and closing. In fact, all four remaining teams are using a guy who wasn't in that role on opening day. - In the case of Uehara and Boston he was like their 4th choice after making some big trades over the last two years -- Andrew Bailey (from Oakland) Joel Hanrahan (Pirates) -- trying to fill that spot. Uehara's first save didn't come until late June. - Tigers were still revisiting the Jose Valverde angle early in the year (he had 9 saves for them) and were trying to groom youngster Bruce Rondon (1) for the job if Valverde should revert to late-2012 form (he did). When neither worked out they turned to Benoit but that wasn't until mid-June. - Cards were using Edward Mujica (their third guy in three years) who was cruising along with 35 saves and a sub-2.00 ERA until blowing up in September [11.05 ERA; .514 BAA] which forced the late-season switch to Rosenthal. - Dodgers signed Brandon League to a big deal (3 yrs/$22.5) last winter with the intention of handing him the closers job. After 4 blown saves and a 6.00 ERA in mid-June he got the boot and, while still on the roster, barely gets used these days. Jansen started closing in late June.

Funny thing about him; except for his first year in MLB (Orioles - 2009) he's had sub-1.00 WHiP numbers each year [career = .829] and has a career 322-to-38 K/BB ratio, and yet this is now his 3rd team in 5 years. Now granted one of those switches was in the deal that brought Chris Davis to Baltimore so I doubt the O's are crying in their crab cakes (although Chris Davis wasn't CHRIS DAVIS then) but the Rangers then released him at the end of last season and I don't recall too much off-season clamoring over the guy prior to him signing a one-year $5mil deal with the Sawx (about the same as what he had been making). And of course had the Sox known what they were getting they probably would have turned to him sooner for the closer's spot rather than deal away four players for Joel Hanrahan the very next week.

Do you think if the Tigers pitchers rolled the ball on the ground to home plate that Victorino would still swing at it?

The Tigers performance - or lack thereof - on the basepaths has been a blessing to the Red Sox. Miggy's stumbling into an out at home plate last night is an obvious example, but there have also been a number of times when their slow runners were only able to advance from 2nd to 3rd on well-placed hits and then ended up stranded there.

4:07 start, can watch the whole game with my son, perhaps even see the Red Sox clinch.

Amazing that the networks are so hard up for prime-time starts (and MLB so hard up for the cash that the networks will pay for said time-slots) that the game time for this Game 6/ALCS is contingent on NL game and therefore not decided until nearly midnight on the day before.

Pitching duel of the slow Sox-Tigers variety.

Buchholz took 15 minutes to deliver the first 22 pitches of the game (yeah, I timed it). It's too depressing to do the math on that one for a per/pitch rate. Not that some of the batters aren't at least partially responsible for that pace, but most of that was on the pitcher.
Despite all the promises and projections about time limits when replay rules are introduced, the reviews never go as quickly as in the plans.

Ya know these new review rules, and now this stuff about not making contact on a play at the plate. I may just have to close the book on what I consider 20th century baseball. :(

You see how Drew shifted his weight mid slide to be in position to pop up and throw? That was a very good play.

Missed the Monster shot there by a few inches. Hell, a good beard trimmer might have cut down the wind resistance on Gomes' swing enough to get that one out.

Some of Earl's teams had great collections of gloves though. These current Tigers, not so much.

According to my year-long, one-inning save study, a closer with a three run lead has better than a 97% chance of closing out the game.

Elbows on the basepaths, fun-policing JoseJoseJoseJose for home run celebrations, purposeful "accidental" interference with throws, spikes-up sliding on DP attempts, CONSTANT plate-crowding... by all reports, he's a decent, accommodating human being off-field, but on-field, he's what fans of his teams call a "gamer," and what most other people with eyes call "dirty like a brothel's sheets."

I believe my dislike for Victorino came from the days when the Phillies were acting as the fun police and calling out Jose Reyes for being too celebratory.
