Detroit is looking dominant. Thanks a lot CHOKELAND A'S!

Why couldn't the Red Sox's bats been this absent in the ALDS? -.-

They were mostly absent. Your bats were just more so.

TIE GAME!

Big Clutch Papi.

Well that escalated quickly...

Giving up a grand slam?? Oakland could have done that.

Please don't let this series be tied heading to Detroit. EFF THE SOX!

Winning run at second for Boston.

And now it's at third.

Please don't let this series be tied heading to Detroit. EFF THE SOX!

 

 

Oh, you.

And now it's at home.

 

1-1!

 

 

GAME CHANGER with the walk-off!

Why couldn't the Red Sox's bats been this absent in the ALDS? -.-

 

 

Because the Rays pitching isn't as good.

Yeah, but you can't hold down the GAME CHANGER! 3/60!

Laughable comment.

DAMMIT! :cussing

David Ortiz is clutch as fuck.

Laughable comment.

 

 

Not sure that's laughable at all.

 

ERA - Detroit [3.61 to 3.74]

WHIP - Tampa [1.227 to 1.252]

K - Detroit [1428 to 1310]

BB - Detroit [462 to 482]

K/9 - Detroit [8.8 to 8.1]

K/BB - Detroit [3.09 to 2.72]

BB/9 - Detroit [2.8 to 3.0]

 

So ... yeah. And that was with a relatively crappy Justin Verlander this year.

Detroit has more dominant pitchers. Tough to match up with Sanchez/Verlander/Scherzer.

And Fister isn't so terrible, either.

The outcome of this game makes me wish that the Marlins would write a blank check to Saltalamacchia in the offseason.

You have to, cause he's a GAME CHANGER!

Besides the K's and BB's...that's virtually identical. And a couple of our usually good starting pitchers had down years as well.

Point remains, Detroit's pitching was better, and in no way, shape, or form was that a "laughable" comment.

Besides the K's and the BB's though...

So like besides everything pitchers are actually in control of, the Rays are so close...

And Fister isn't so terrible, either.Yea. But I was mainly pointing out who Boston faced or will face against Detroit. Moore and Cobb aren't up there with Detroit's 2 and 3.

By such a miniscule amount it's virtually not there. Again both teams had pitchers who had down years, not really a fair comparrison.

Could have sworn pitchers control WHIP, K, BB, K/9, K/BB, BB/9. And that's just naming the ones Bender did.
