flavum Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Biggest game of the year so far. Seriously, you can't get swept in KC with Sale and Peavy on the mound, and have that momentum going into the Yankees series where things can start to spiral. f***ing win.

With Youk's various aches & pains, I think it's gonna be like that for the rest of the season. He is gonna need his days off to heal up, it was common knowledge when the Sox traded for him.

Seriously, you can't get swept in KC with Sale and Peavy on the mound, and have that momentum going into the Yankees series where things can start to spiral. f***ing win. I think the tone set in the first game of the Tigers/Sox series at USCF might end up being the most important. But who knows, really? Definitely, if we can jump over them and (hopefully) extend the first place lead, that would be huge. Otherwise, if we lose 2/3 or 3/4 (can't remember which series is 4, in DET or at home)....then we're definitely in survival mode going to Motown down the stretch run.

There is no way there are going to let it happen today. Reverse jinx in place. Don't say something like that!!! Seriously, with Gordon Beckham hitting 2nd, DeAza and Youk out and Olmedo having to play in any key situation at all...it's a potential disaster waiting to happen. Can't believe KW didn't find a better option than Olmedo at this late point in August. It's pretty incredible that the bench has been allowed to be so abysmal for the majority of the season.

caulfield12 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) The funny thing is that Chen was pitching great all season long and had held the Tigers to only one run in BALT. Baltimore has some crazy streak of winning like their last 12 one-run decisions and almost all of their extra innings games. Something like 17-2, which makes up for their RS/RA splits. DET has the worst 5 hole production in baseball, although Peralta might have changed that today. More teams are starting to walk Cabrera and Fielder and daring the 5/6 spots to beat them, but it backfired today. Cabrera over .380 for the last 45 games, .332 overall, Fielder over .330 for that same time span and hasn't struck out more than twice in a game and that's only happened a few times all season long. And Fister has been August/September 2011 tough again his last 4 starts. You've got Verlander/Fister, Cabrera/Fielder...all going like gangbusters, it would be a miracle if the Sox held them off with a fading Sale/Peavy combination and all the injuries we've had in the starting line-up in recent weeks. 95+ times out of 100, the Tigers should win the division. Have to really start watching those Rays results more closely. Also have to hope the reeling Angels can right the ship against the Tigers this week.

Oh well, I guess the lead will stay at 1.5 after the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
