I would have too. I don’t the logic in pitching to the guy. Double play was the only hope they had.

My IDK was partially lazy- not looking at NY's line up and partially worrying if Foley woud walk someone given his trouble lately. He seems to have control though so I probably would have loaded the bases. 

Sad

Walk em loaded? IDK

Foleyed again.

Bah, leadoff batter gets on

It should be fine . . . Unless it isn't.

Dont beat yourself up, I thought the same thing with Keith earlier when he was up with bases loaded, only for a womp womp.

10-5 lead in LOB

Does Petry always hold a baseball when he's not on TV?

I WAS THERE JK SIMMONS AND IT WAS SEASON TICKET HILDER TRADE IN DAY AND SK WAS EVERYONE I KNEW AND I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JUNE 2 2010

But. I'm almost over it. 

Maybin does some road games on the radio. Makes sense because every 4 years or so he comes back to Detroit. 

Is there a story behind the jumping on third home run celebration? Or is there just no equivalent to cheap pizza spears in TB?

That was a manufactured run- manufactured by the Rays. 

I keep hoping for strike outs looking because I like how Porter calls them. 

Probably a lot of Tigers fans on social media backspacing after that Baez hit. 

2-3-1 inning.

Canha, batting 2nd, crushed it for a HR.  That’s not right. He should just poke the ball around 

The Polanco trauma is real. 

Surprisingly (at least it surprised me) the difference between a mediocre and optimal line up is probably only 10 runs or 1 win per year. No real reason not to have high OBP hitters batting more often, but you can bat your Don Kelly types second every once in a while. Sometimes they'll homer in game 5 versus the Yankees. 

Varland is having a really tough day- two sliders on pitches 4 and 5 that even Baez wouldn't swing at.

Which challenge are you referring to?

The force out at second

But what the ER? Does the team win or lose? Some stats are pretty meaningless, sorry sabers...lol

That challenge was worth 1.3 runs if successful. When will it be worth more? 

Still laughing at "Third prize in the Kid Rock look-alike contest"

Bases loaded no outs 2.9 RE

First and third one out 1.6 RE

What are you saving the challenge for?

Also, sad

Uh, isn't Ibañez on the bench now? I guess you have to do the parlay ad anyway if they paid for it.

A little disappointed in Canha there. 

I wonder if it were 2-0 if he'd have played it more aggressively.
