CANADIENS27 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Verlander overcame a leadoff home run by Coco Crisp. Detroit would tie it in the bottom half on a leadoff double by Austin Jackson, a single by Quintin Berry, and double play ground ball by Miguel Cabrera. Starting A's pitcher Jarrod Parker mishandled a ground ball by Berry for the Tigers' second run. Alex Avila added a solo home run in the fifth.

CANADIENS27 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Detroit 5 Oakland 4. Both teams made history by allowing the tying runs to score on wild pitches in the same inning. Jaoquin Benoit allowed a single to Yoenis Cepedes who stole second and third. Benoit's wild pitch brought him home and Benoit reverted to his pattern of serving up gopher balls when Josh Reddick connected on the following pitch to give the A's a 4-3 lead. Ryan Cook returned the favor in the bottom half of the eighth after Don Kelly came in to pinch run for Delmon Young who singled to center. Kelly moved to second on a single by Jhonny Peralta and was sacrrifice to third. He then came home on a wild pitch by Cook. Detroit would score the winning run in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Kelly. Detroit leads the series 2-0 with Game 3 in Oakland tomorrow night.

CANADIENS27 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Does anyone think Alex Rodriguez should be benched. In the playoffs, he is 1 for 9 if I'm correct and has been struggling against hard throwing righthanders. The paper says he has a lifetime .271 average for the playoffs. I didn't realize it was that good since he usually doesn't do anything in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADIENS27 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Jose Valverde falters in the ninth inning giving up three runs, two on a game tying double by Seth Smith and the winning run with two outs on a single by Coco Crisp. It highlights the concern I had in September, a once again shaky bullpen, which would be Detroit's undoing. The three run rally gave Oakland a 4-3 victory and evened the series at 2-2.

CANADIENS27 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Justin Verlander shuts out Oakland 6-0 on four hits to send Detroit into the ALCS against the winner of the New York-Baltimore series. Verlander struck out 11 and became the first to first to win a winner-take-all game the year after winning the Cy Young Award. It was also his first post season shutout. I'm still an advocate of the complete game despite what the reality is because of the risk of overworking the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
