Kind of surprised that Acta's going to Perez after using Sipp for one hitter. Figured he'd change his mind and go with Smith.

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:27 pm

I don't think anyone's overreacting, I'm pretty sure I heard that Perez has given up a run 7 out of 13 times coming into a non save situation, not for sure, but I've always argued that it's a mental thing, a closer isn't in the same frame of mind in a tie game.

(or CP tends to have crappy peripherals the last 1.2 seasons, whatever)

It's very difficult for me to recollect a tie game still being tied after Pure Rage Perez comes outta the pen. Not saying it has never happened. Just stressing me out (smoke)

Manny you shit SOaB!

This whole tie game business is in Chris Perez's head. Zero command.

FWIW, MLB Network is showing a live look-in of the Indians game. I'm sticking with Hammy, but if you want to watch, it's on MLBN.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:31 pm

Perez is awful in non-save situations. Why does he continue to be thrown in there?

I don't want to break my tv after he gives up a run or two... or three

Edit: Go CP! :hide:

Back to back nasty sliders. Played on Montero's aggressiveness. Great pitch sequence called by Santana.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:35 pm

I knew Chris Perez would do great! :hide:

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:36 pm

No way he comes back in the 11th if necessary right?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:36 pm

Detroit down to their last 3 outs to avoid another loss to Minnesota

And by Hammy.

No. We're out of lefties and SEA's lineup would roll over, so I imagine we'd see Pestano. Can't use Smith against all those lefties at the top of SEA's lineup.

Edit: Believe I just heard in the background that Smith is warming up.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:39 pm

Damn! Brants always seems to find a glove when he hits one right on the screws

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:41 pm

Come on Shelley. Hit one out for your wife!

(No, I didn't stalk her. She, for whatever reason, came up in my "Who To Follow" Twitter suggestion section.)

No way she's a gold digger

Tigers lost again. Be great to pick up a win here and go 4 game sup with a tough Interleague schedule heading our way.

by **scrambler** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:47 pm

That 10th inning just didn't go as I planned....Brantley screwed that ball off Furbush, should not have pinch hit for Damon as Furbush was at the end of his rope and Damon would have taken him deep.

Can you imagine this weekend?? Johnny Damon, Shelley Duncan and Austin Kearns all at the same time. Aaron Cunningham is gonna feel quite inept with that trioka in the building.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:49 pm

Our pitchers do realize that Brendan Ryan is one of the league's worst everyday players, right? He's been on base 11 times in 5 games against us.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:52 pm

What's difficult about understanding the concept of "throw strikes to shit hitters?"

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:54 pm

Why did Acta go to Smith? Stupid. Guy is terrible against LHBs. It shows AGAIN.

Smith's been better against LHB than Pestano this year, but Pestano's your guy. I think you have to go to him there, even in spite of the 2012 numbers.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:54 pm

Booooooooo Saunders is shit

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:58 pm

Time to own Brandon League again.

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:00 pm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:02 pm

Some of these balls and strikes have been atrocious. But consistently atrocious

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:03 pm

Have to send Cunningham in to run and force Hannahan to sack up and play D if we go to the 12th.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:03 pm

Announcers called that one. Splitter bounced well in front of home plate and over the screen

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:04 pm

Choo must get Lopez to 3B in that situation. Inexcusable strikeout.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:05 pm

I don't want anyone at first base with A-Cab coming up
He's grounded into too many DPs already. Makes me wary

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:05 pm

Come on AC. At least tie it.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:06 pm

need to get Hafner to the plate no matter what in this situation

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:06 pm

Atta boy AC!

Win it right now Hafner.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:07 pm

Wooooo! I apologise Mr Cabrera

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:07 pm

Must be an injury to that hand

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:08 pm

Shit, not good that Hafner's not hitting here. Last thing we need is Duncan AND Damon playing every day.

Cunningham in a squeeze situation.

by **Jumbo** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:08 pm

Nice to tie it up!

Oh, Cunningham in to PH...that HBP must have bothered him.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:09 pm

I'd rather have Hafner swinging with one hand on the bat.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:09 pm

This game is nuts and not on STO

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:10 pm

Just a fly ball to medium deep LF/CF Carlos.

by **Jumbo** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:11 pm

Here we go: Carlos for the win.

I'm usually able to watch and not listening to Hammy. It's a treat to listen to him in a game like this.

by **andrew6586** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:11 pm

It's a gift from God... Cunningham didn't have to take the bat off his shoulder.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:12 pm

Apparently Santana thinks we're down by 3.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:14 pm

Atta boy Carlos.

We own Brandon League like Jim Tressel owned Michigan.

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:14 pm

Yeah baby!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:14 pm

Woo Hoo!!!! 4 game lead

by **Mr. X** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:15 pm

F yeah

Came back twice to win it.

by **andrew6586** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:15 pm

Nice win. Way to fight back and get the W. Up 4 games now.

by **Jumbo** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:15 pm

Yes!!!!!!!!

by **scrambler** » Thu May 17, 2012 5:15 pm
