Jack gives up a home run, then walks three batters in a row and Verlander and Scoob are talking in the dugout and Verlander is saying “s***” could be better than this.”
I guess offensively the bragging rights for the Tigers in this game is that the Rangers’ pitcher Gore has been “stressed“ to 49 pitches through two innings. Whee! We are really putting stress on him. Phew. Oh my he’s hurting ouch.
And Jack gives up a home run…
I hope Gore serves up batting practice to us…
Jack gave up only one run in the inning so if he goes five innings and gives up only five runs and we get six runs we’ll win - that is if our relievers can hold the powerful, powerful Rangers offense to only five runs.
Jack gives up a lead off single so the tedium of worrying about a no-hitter is off the shelf at least, thank God. And Perez robs a home run from the next batter probably given that the fences have been lowered enough for that to become common place
I so loved Willie Horton that I named my tiger striped cat - who was allowed to be an outdoor cat because we were like that back then - and when I came home from school one day in probably 1965 I received the sad news that Willie had been hit by a car and had died because he was playing in the fall leaves on Jackson Street in Auburn Indiana. I was heartbroken.
