Detroit Tigers vs Oakland Athletics - Open Thread

Submitted by NYC Fan on

Big elimination game tonight.  Lineups are set.

Tigers lineup:
 

Jackson 8,
Hunter 9,
Cabrera 5,
Fielder 3,
Martinez DH,
Peralta 6,
Avila 2,
Infante 4,
Kelly 7.

Verlander is starting.

 

ERA W-L SO WHIP BAA
3.46 13-12 217 1.31 .253

A's lineup:

Crisp 8,
Donaldson 5,
Lowrie 6,
Cespedes 7,
Smith DH,
Moss 3,
Callaspo 4,
Reddick 9,
Vogt 2.

 Gray is starting.

 

ERA W-L SO WHIP BAA
2.67 5-3 67 1.11 .214

Interesting move in starting Gray over 18-6, 2.65 ERA regular season Colon.  I am going to miss Iglesias and hope that Peralta's defense doesn't cost us.

I predict Tigers roll 5-1. Thoughts? Predictions?

must be out now.  They usually dont let them stand around if still in the game.

 

Fielder did have 25 taters this season.  But yea....not looking like a good long-term investment.

 

Verlander is just dealin.

A little suprised they haven't gone Colon - and done it earlier. Pretty clear the kid didn't have it tonight.
