caulfield12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Donaldson rips the hanger to LF after Carter had K'd and Smith was intentionally walked. 1st and 2nd, 2 outs, reliever into the game to replace Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 01:52 PM) More amazing baseball-throwing by Tigers fielders. That's the downside to AA outfielders learning in the heat of a pennant race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is that a Grady Sizemore play for 2012? Should have been an easy out, but 2 runs score instead. Probably would have been an inside the parker if not for Kottaras being a catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Dirks have a great rookie season, homer into RF bleachers off a previously untouched (at least in SEPT) Blevins. 6-4. Also made a nifty defensive play in LF, great jump. Of course, the Tigers have given up 3 basically unearned runs, should be leading this game 4-3, instead. Alburquerque is just nasty. No surprise he only gave up a .164 BAA as a rookie last year. Devastating slider and 95 MPH heater. Probably if they had him all season long, the Tigers are leading the division or tied with us. Let's hope Cabrera and Fielder don't both end up getting 2 more AB's. Miggy leading off the bottom of the 7th here... Cook, nice arm, K's him with a nasty splitter/forkball. Cabrera was easily pulling a 96-97 MPH fastball. His bat speed has picked up over the course of the season instead of slowing down.

LittleHurt05 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) If Oakland can retire the next 6 batters in a row, they don't have to face MCab or Fielder again until 2013. Edited September 20, 2012 by LittleHurt05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFirebird Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Kind of interesting for Oak to use a lefty in the 8th when Dirks is only lefty hitter in the sequence...they must not have a good righty option besides closer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oak up 6-4 going to the top of the 9th. Cabrera would be up 4th in the bottom. Insurance please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 A's with a very impressive, albeit unknown to most fans, bullpen. Doolittle following in the footsteps of Sergio Santos, converted position player with a big arm mows down the side. Laird, Jackson and Infante for the 9th, will be at least a 2 run lead. Don't want to give Cabrera a chance to tie it. Possibility we see Avila for Laird, but it seems he's going to get the start tmrw. Tigers still leaning towards using Smyly Sunday against the Twins, as they haven't used him out of the bullpen against the A's lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good relievers can be trusted to get both righties and lefties. A novel idea, with how so many bullpens are getting overmanaged these days...and with the expanded September rosters.
