elizium Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 At some point they really need to just stop letting Atlanta into the playoffs, this must be the 15th time I've watched them walk sadly off the field. Give someone else a chance to do that. 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Uribe is obviously juicing. Look how big he is now. Plus, hair loss. Oh well, Niners kicked the shit out of the Texans...
BobbyWhioux Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Brian Wilson threw a scoreless inning despite putting two runners on. Juan Uribe crushed a hanging slider for a two run homer that brought in the ultimately winning run. It was like I was watching a DVR of 2010 but with the color all fucked up

Give someone else a chance to do that. I know I have no memory of any other expression on Fredi Gonzalez' other face than that last-out-of-the-year death stare.
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 By the way, I said it way back in the middle of the season. Home runs are great but strikeouts.. LOTS and LOTS of K's. Not good. I confidently predicted the offense would disappear in October and the pitching would have to carry it.
Assassin Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Down goes Sager's toupe. He's not the same person, but I was very much hoping for a "You're a real man, Yaisel, I'll say that."
RIPPA Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I'm gonna rely on Joe here since he will (I am assuming have watched it or know what I am talking about) but - I am listen to Brian Kenny interview this morning and was telling a story that the first question to Fredi last night was "Obviously - you can't bring in Kimbrel for two innings..." Really Atlanta Media????
Joe Lucia Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 That's Dave O'Brien, the hackiest of hacks who wrote a story after Fredi got hired about going cross country with him on their Harleys. Seriously. Fredi saying they were prepared to use Kimbrel for four outs but not six shows how little awareness his has. Dude cannot adapt to game situations at all. Once something goes pear-shaped, he just stares blankly until the inning ends.

Tabe Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure Kimbrel has never pitched two full innings at any time in his lifetime. Congrats Atlanta, you got beat with your best guy sitting on the pine. Mariano would have been in there.
PaulS Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I think I read that Kimbrel got a 6 out save in the 2010 playoffs.
elizium Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 So you neglect to start Scherzer on short rest, but decide to bring him in as a reliever anyway? So, now you've wasted a starter and put your best pitcher in a position he is not familiar with. Oh, he just gave the lead to the A's.... I do think the Tigers home whites are the best jerseys in baseball, so at least they got that going for them.
elizium Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I find it strange how I enjoy Buck Martinez when he does play by play for the Jays, but absolutely hate him when he does colour.
elizium Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 So the Tigers take the lead back with a Jeffrey Maier home run and Scherzer immediately puts the first two men on. Maybe you should get him out of there?
elizium Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 He had to load the bases with no outs, but he definitely found his stuff after that. I still think Jim Leyland has smoked too many cigarettes.
Jiji Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I find it strange how I enjoy Buck Martinez when he does play by play for the Jays, but absolutely hate him when he does colour. Because he forgets he's doing colour. Power outage means I didn't get to see the first 6 innings, but hell if the last inning and a half haven't entertained me.
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Definitely looked like a home run to me. It was going to hit above the yellow line. I don't believe the fielder would have caught it.
elizium Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Took the Tigers long enough to find some offense. Yay to Game 5's. Hopefully the Rays can come through as well.
piranesi Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Detroit vs. St. Louis Boston vs. ST. LOUIS!!!! What could be better for Tim McCarver's final year than either of these classic...TRADITIONAL matchups. Oh, imagine the stories he'll tell. The anecdotes about the golden age of yore! I'm blissed out at the thought of it all. Gather round children, Uncle Timmy is telling his stories!!!!! 2
Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Hey, didn't he used to play with someone really good? Wish I could remember who it is he talks about having caught for... Some great pitcher or something?
Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Also, man, about time the Tigers got some runs. I'm scared about Game 5, but much better to be scared about another game than going to that other thread.
piranesi Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Our Lady of Enos Slaughter, Please just keep me from the offseason thread. From what I hear, it's an A-Rod, Chipper, Dusty, cute-puppy clown show of misery. In the name of Dizzy, The Wizard, and The Man...Pray for us.
