OT: Tiger pregame/MLB open thread. Who's your Tiger tonight
Quadruple header today leading off with Reds v Giants in deciding game 5
Who is your Tiger tonight?
Tonight is the night we find out if JV is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with the incomparable Jack Morris.
Sabermetric over analysis warning: JV is 29 years old. Jack Morris was 29 in 1984.
I'm going with Justin Verlander as player of the game

FUCK. YES.
KATE UPTON TIME.

Take time to realize what kind of pitcher you're watching. FUCK YES JV!

You know what the funny thing is? I didn't think he had the really good stuff tonight. He was nasty as hell, but not, like, silly good the way he can sometimes be. As far as pure stuff as compared to what he can bring, I think he had his B+ game tonight. And he still just mowed fools down.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:41 AM ^
Oh agreed, he really didn't feature the curve all that often tonight, when he did it wasnt the steep break that it usually has.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:47 AM ^
Yup, and he missed more often than he usually does with the fastball. But the changeup was just completely unfair tonight, and he mentioned in the postgame that it was working for him.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:35 AM ^
ALCS bound!!!! Hell yes!!! JV is the man!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:35 AM ^
GOD DAMN IS JUSTIN GOOD.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
It was the most painful professional game I have ever attended. Thank god we pulled it out in 5!

BEAT BALTIMORE/NEW YORK

Verlander is pumped. The only thing left for him to have won for the perfect career is the WS ring.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:39 AM ^
that this is the first time in history that all the divisional series have gone to five games.

Dumbass stats like this are why baseball is awesome: It's the first postseason series in which three runs have scored via wild pitch since 1911. You just don't get that kind of esoteric goofiness in other sports, and not just because of the length of time.
