Game Thread: ALCS Game Two: Red Sox Hosting Tigers, October 13, 2013

[Brahmsian]

Starting tonight for the Tigers will be Max Sherzer, who posted an unreal 0.970 WHIP
this season with only 2.4 BB/9, both career bests.

Starting for us willbe Clay Buchholz, who also posted career best WHIP and BB/9 numbers this season.
1.293 and 0.3 to be precise.

GO RED SOX!

I see another one hitter being thrown for the Tigers. One hit are you fucking kidding me, i thought Boston was one of the best hitting teams in the MLB this year...what happened?

NO WAY!

Seeing even one shutout against my Red Sox was incredibly lucky for your team!

Your team WHIP and ERA are both boarding the UP escalator after last night!

GO RED SOX!

17-7 Patriots over the Saints at halftime, FYI.

 

[Brahmsian]

Patriots 30-24, FINAL!

It got scary late, but the Patriots did not panic!

Now let's win our game!

GO BOSTON!

 

[Brahmsian]

9 pitch 1st inning for Buchholz. No guarantee he'll win, but I'll take it!

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

Wouldn't it be nice to occasionally have what in horse racing is called a wire-to-wire victory?

We won't get one tonight, but things could be a lot worse for us.

GO RED SOX!

Scherzer may be racking up a lot of Ks, but he's also building his pitch count. That willget us into the Tiger bullpen quicker in all probability. I can live with the Ks on account of that.

WIN THIS,RED SOX!

13 innings of baseball and only one hit, don't hold your breath.

They're coming. Building up opposition pitch counts is a big part of the Red Sox modus operandi.

 

[Brahmsian]

At least end the shutout bid, please!

I would prefer more than that, but...

 

[Brahmsian]

That's a start in the right direction.

LET"S NOT STOP AT ONE RUN!

GO RED SOX!

We have an idiot for a manager. That's another advantage you guys have over us that I forgot to mention.

 

[Brahmsian]

We did more than end the shutout bid, didn't we?

I LOVE IT!

Scherzer has thrown > than 108 pitches 14 times this year so pull him at 108 in his most important game when he's throwing his best game of the year. You're a genius Leyland. At least we got a split.

Don't blame your manager for Ortiz being a clutch hitter.

I'll never understand why he pulled him.
Wow

Leyland didn't make his reliever throw a meatball to Ortiz.

Blame the pitcher, not Leyland.

Brahmsian good call man, the Sox picked a good time to wake up. Congrats on the call and the win.
