Nice substitution Bochy

 

[Eephus]

McCarver was wrong about Timmy never pitching in relief. He got a SV in the 2010 LCS.

 

[gianmarco]

Tigers in 4.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Tigers in 4.

Next four?

No faith?? Tsk tsk.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

This is only the second 3 homer game in AT&amp;T Park history...

The other?

Kevin Elster in it's inaugural game...

No faith?? Tsk tsk.

At this point just want them to shake the rust off the bats and get Valverde in. Do some positive things, I think they win tomorrow FWIW.

Same here. Make the Giants bullpen work a little bit.

I'm curious to what Bochy plans to do tomorrow if Bumgarner looks like 2012 MB and not 2010 MB. I assumed Lincecum was the back up

Whatever Bochy does will probably work

 

[Raider Nation]

I suppose Valverde can't do too much damage here.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Jesus Big Potato

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Has Valverde gone to a different windup? I don't remember his oblique stretch shtick before tonight's game. I thought he used to hump his glove right before he threw.

 

[Raider Nation]

[Doctor Detroit]

Two hits on 0-2 counts. If Pablo hits one here, we won't have to see Valverde again in this series.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Have to claim injury and get him off the roster after this game, right?

 

[ffldrew]

Valverde picks up where he left off

 

[Eephus]

Was that a Benito Santiago sighting in the crowd shot?

 

[Raider Nation]

Kimbrel is the only one I can think of who currently does this.

 

[tjnc09]

Hope the Giants know what to do with a series lead

Maybe Chapman too?

Leyland unlikely to do that but I wish Valverde would just go to them and tell them he's got a shoulder issue. Would help him in free agency also. Scott Boras really knows how to pick'em. Hey RN&gt;any more questions about Valverde I can answer for you? Here is your chance.

 

[Raider Nation]

Any reason to burn Benoit here?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Any reason to burn Benoit here?

Confidence, he can pitch every day.

 

[tjnc09]

Any reason to burn Benoit here?

I'm thinking the same thing - why are they using their whole pen?

 

[tjnc09]

Pence will give any pitcher confidenxe

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Big fan of using Benoit there, gotta have him right. Now if they bring him back for the 8th, then I'm pissed.

Porcello could use an inning, make it so.

 

[Raider Nation]

The Giants have already scored 2 more runs against Detroit than the Yankees scored against them in 4 games.

They have been off 5 or more days - I'd get them some action - not too much however.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah but they only got two off Valverde, Yankees and A's got twice that.

 

[gianmarco]

So is the letdown from too much time off?

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm lonely. Nobody is here to wish peace upon me.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So is the letdown from too much time off?

Well you can't account for Verlander EVER being bad, and the Tigers are pretty bad vs left-handed pitching for some unknown reason. Pretty much the reason we are seeing Bumgarner tomorrow.

That's true.This definitely turns tomorrow into a Must-Win Game™.

No doubt. But a split would be more than fine, Tigers are very good at home. Hopefully Fister gets a liberal strike zone, I like their chances tomorrow quite a bit.

You guys get the choice nuggets innings before the viewers do

May the peace of Pablo be upon you....'cause he sure got a big piece of us. Ouch!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Couple more baserunners and a bomb.

Couple more baserunners and a bomb, and the Tigers are right back in this.

-Dan Dickerson before Young hit (tongue in cheek)

ool

Momentum!

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Pagan with the assist. Pretty sure that's a double if he never touches the ball.

Only a 5 run game!!

 

[tjnc09]

End this #### already

 

[Eephus]

It's a long series but that's a big win

 

[ffldrew]

It's a long series but that's a big win

Very big winSo is Verlander a start in game 4?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Doubt it but if the Giants win tomorrow, maybe Scherzer in Game 3.

 

[Dickies]

I'm curious to what Bochy plans to do tomorrow if Bumgarner looks like 2012 MB and not 2010 MB. I assumed Lincecum was the back up

Whatever Bochy does will probably work

After years of Dusty and Alou, I really appreciate the decisions that Bochy makes.

You don't think Verlander starts game 4? I still think they want him out there as much as possible.

Yes, Giants knew what they were doing with the 2 lefties starting at home. Road/lefty has to be the Tigers worst split.
