The Tigers really let the Orioles outbid them for Andrew Miller with the sludge they put on the mound after their starters?
So . . . I guess the detroit pitching coach has the other starters in the clubhouse now to keep them from watching their bullpen. And he's showing them tape of Tiant's 162 pitch win against the Reds in the 1975 World Series.

Yup, and it seemed like they knew it. Hard to imagine many teams with a better Top 3 than the 2013 versions of Scherzer-Verlander-Anibal.
Just from a runs perspective, the 2013 Tigers scored 50 more runs and allowed 75 fewer runs than the 2014 version.
I never heard or read anything. Seeing Detroit's pen it's hard to believe that they wouldn't have somehow found a prospect better than the guy the O's gave us, even if it meant involving a third team to make it happen.BCsMightyJoeYoung said:
I think the Tigers philosophy is to have three or four superstars and to just make do with the rest of the team.Rough Carrigan said:
Yeah, but they were focusing on Billy Butler's running in the early part of the wildcard game.Dan to Theo to Ben said:
Just as good as the tack on runs, from the O's perspective, is that they beat up on the Tigers' pen right away to blunt the chance of any of Detroit relievers having a desperately needed surprise good series.
Finally someone is warming. Once they had a five run lead I saw it as a no brainer. Yeah you can't bring him back if it goes to shit but he's already not used to going more than one inning and now his arm must be ice cold. No sense risking injury for whatever psychological advantage there is to leave him in.DrewDawg said:
If Mike Scioscia has to call 50 pitchouts to prevent the Royals from stealing like they did against the A's, he'll do it. Hell, the fricking Royals will probably swing at half of 'em.
This is the 7th division series appearance for the Angels but first against someone other than NY and Boston.
Surprised to see Ironman Josh Hamilton in the lineup.
And EJ is hilariously bad. He has no clue on flyballs.

He shouldn't get near a mike unless he has Barkley and Kenny the Jet at the same table.shawnrbu said:
