Guillen baited him there, not cool at all. Still Weaver can't let a guy like Guillen get in his head and it shows he's still extremely immature.

What happened? I saw the homerun, but nothing else.

I just find it hard to believe Guillen did it out of the blue. I have to wonder if something led to this. Also, it was very smart of Avila to not do anything. I'm sure he expected that.

Apparently Weaver said something to Maggs after he hit a HR earlier in the game and Guillen responded in kind by standing at home plate after he went yard. Then Weaver threw it at Avila's head. That was an error. Way to try to bunt to get on Anaheim, stay classy.

 

[the moops]

Verlander getting all pissy cause the guy tries to get on by bunting.

 

[Apple Juice]

I'm unable to watch the game. Someone said the Weaver meltdown goes back to the Maggs homerun?

I'm sure Verlander outpitching Weaver is irritating him as well.

 

[the moops]

This is the lamest thing. Bunting there is totally legit. It is still a ball game at 3-0. They need baserunners. And hey, look at that, he's on 2nd base.

 

[Raider Nation]

This is one of those times when "baseball etiquette" can eat my balls.The Angels are down by 3 runs and they need base runners. Pretty sure they don't care about Verlander's no-hit bid.

Yep.

 

[the moops]

I hope this guy tries to bunt too.

 

[the moops]

oof

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I hope this guy tries to bunt too.

You're a tool.

 

[the moops]

You're a tool.

Thanks good buddy

 

[the moops]

Good thing the Angels were actually trying to win this game as opposed to trying to appease Verlander's no hit bid.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

That's Kelly and Cabrera's fault. Kelly should have thrown to first and Cabrera should have covered home. He would have got through the 8th.

If it were a perfect game and the Tigers had a few more runs, okay, no bunting. But suddenly it's 3 -2. Good move by the Angels to try and score some runs.

 

[jon_mx]

Kelly should have gotten the out.

 

[the moops]

That's Kelly and Cabrera's fault. Kelly should have thrown to first and Cabrera should have covered home. He would have got through the 8th.

Yea, that was a terrible run down. You never want the pitcher taking any part in it.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

101 mph on the last pitch of the 8th.

 

[Apple Juice]

I couldn't even watch it and I'm infuriated by that circus of an inning. Were the infielders just playing like a bunch of ###holes or what?

 

[jon_mx]

Tigers lost their last world series largely due to the fact their pitchers are clueless in the field.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Guillen baited him there, not cool at all. Still Weaver can't let a guy like Guillen get in his head and it shows he's still extremely immature.

Apparently Weaver said something to Maggs after he hit a HR earlier in the game and Guillen responded in kind by standing at home plate after he went yard. Then Weaver threw it at Avila's head.

Weaver definitely said something to maggs after his HR. Then when Maggs flew out the next time, he walked near the mound and they had words. Lot of blame to go around but it seems Weaver started it and Carlos Guillen ended it.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The real mistake on that rundown was on whoever threw Verlander the ball. He should have done it much sooner to give the other infielders a chance to get over there. Don't force the pitcher to make the tag.

Are you blaming Verlander? Really? What game are you watching?

I think he also said something to Cabrera. I knew something had to have happened to make Guillen do that. And I'm glad he did.

 

[jon_mx]

A little surprised they did not let Verlander try to finish the game, although Valverde finally finished a game without giving us a heart attack last time.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

WTF? How was that not a strike?

 

[the moops]

Tigers lost their last world series largely due to the fact their pitchers are clueless in the field.

Well, he did launch a ball into right field on the bunt.

You do realize that bunt was in response to the Weaver/Guillen exchange right? Aybar could have bunted earlier in the game, so could have the rest of the team but they didn't. Call it however you want, but that bunt is something teams just don't do. As far as Verlander fielding it, #### happens. He's not a terrible fielder.

 

[jon_mx]

A win is a win. Weaver gets the loss and gives up three earned runs. Verlander gets the win and gives up zero earned runs and only one hit. This makes Verlander a slight front runner for the Cy Young, and has to put him on the radar for MVP.

 

[skillz]

Guillen baited him there, not cool at all. Still Weaver can't let a guy like Guillen get in his head and it shows he's still extremely immature.

just like his brother.Kelly messed up the no hitter today - 3 run lead and Verlander cruising along. Take the out. It's pretty simple.

There were a lot of brain dead decisions that inning with the outfielder throwing the ball home on the 2nd run when he had no chance of getting the runner, and the ball not being cut off so the tying run was able to get to second. Glad we got the W but they really gave LA a chance to tie it up late.

By the way, WTF did Leyland put Raburn out in LF as a defensive replacement in the 9th. Since when is he an upgrade over anyone else on the roster for defensive purposes?

 

[Da Guru]

Sat in row 7 right behind the Angels dugout. Weaver looks and acts like a total hick. Lots of chirping was going on today between the teams. Verlander rushed the throw on the Aybar bunt, I know Aybar runs well but he had time.

I was with my daughter so I only drank two beers..could have pounded a beer an inning in that heat today.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So Leyland said Weaver was mad because he thought Maggs was showing him up, even though we all know Maggs doesn't do that. He was watching to see if the ball was staying fair.

Yeah Raburn as a defensive replacement over Boesch is strange and that's the second time he's done it this week.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Leyland said, "I was surprised Weaver threw at Avila. He is a cool customer"

 

[jon_mx]

It was more de ja vu moment, remembering pitchers throwing the ball all over the place. Too much blame to go around that inning to pin it on one person. Defense is going to do the Tigers in if they do make the playoffs. You don't get away with those kind of mistakes in the post season.

I hear ya, did bring back bad memories.

No chance? It was about as close of a play is there is. In fact, he may have actually been out.

 

[tri-man 47]

Overall ...a solid win in a big game. Hopefully the infusion of a couple of new arms, now, will help enough to let the Tigers stretch their lead a bit.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

MLBN studio crew unanimously said the Fister acquisition was the sleeper trade of the deadline and seem to think it was a great pick-up. I think the Tigers could have gotten Bedard cheaper but wanted a guy under team control which they have in Fister.

They get Texas then a nine game road trip to KC, Cleveland and Baltimore. I think if they can go 7-5 or 8-4 over that stretch they are going to be in a lot better shape than they are in today. They have 12 games left with the Indians, nine with KC, seven with the Orioles, six with the White Sux, six with the Twins and four with Oakland. No more Anaheim, New York or Boston.

 

[SofaKings]

Fister under contract until 2014 is nice.

 

[Da Guru]

Fister under contract until 2014 is nice.

Yes it is.

 

[jon_mx]

Fister under contract until 2014 is nice.

Yes it is.

We hope it is.

I was not Maggs it was Guillen. He posed for a bit, then as he was staring at Weaver he stuck his arm out to drop his bat and then started a sideways gallup/shuffle down the baseline. A lot of talking back and forth on that too. I probably would have plunked the next guy too, but not thrown one head high.

The Guillen thing is what finally led to fireworks. But Weaver first got mad and started chirping after the Maggs homer. Magglio was watching to see if it would stay fair and Weaver took exception to it. That was the initial incident.

It was definitely Maggs. They showed how it all unfolded on MLBN and everyone confirmed in past game comments.Weaver gets angry at Maggs because he didn't run after the HR (he was looking to see if it would stay fair)Weaver then yelled at Cabrera because Maggs didn't runMaggs then hit a flyball out and jogged by the pitcher's mound and they exchanged pleasantries.Guillen hits HR and stands there and then says something to Weaver and Weaver yells backWeaver complains to ump, both teams get warnedWeaver throws at Avila's head

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

man if Don Kelly just throws it to first I think JV would of had another no-no.

Love the Doug Fist~her move

Watched them go over it on MLBN, they were all over Weaver getting all nuts about Maggs, who did a whole lot of nothing. Big deal, he leaned to see if it was going to be fair. Relax Weaver.Loved the Guillen HR trot. Sticking up for his own. And I don't really care what any Angels say. It could lend toward team unity in Detroit's clubhouse and I like that.Aybar's bunt was bush. Come on Scoscia, you're better than that....go get your pitcher his pacifier and play the game like men.

All of you unwritten rule #####es need to mouth it. It was obvious that it was done to piss them off, but that bunt got them back in the game. That's why they are out there, to win games.

It was done to piss them off, otherwise Scioscia would have never done it. You know why? Because it's a #### move, and if this had happened to your ####tacular team we would have heard the same #####ing. Kelly lost the no hitter in the end though, should have just thrown the damn ball to first. Brandon Inge would have thrown it to first, miss the guy already.
