David Price's foot, let me introduce you to David Price's mouth...

It was pretty sweet for this fan to see Chris Capuano finally get a playoff appearance, and get the win to boot. Ace of the staff!

Starting Freddy Garcia in a must win playoff game is a lot like starting Jeff Suppan in a must win playoff game.

Cmon Oakland!!!

 

Up 3-0 in the 5th.

 

Through 31 innings the Tigers have scored in only 2 of them.

 

Staily, the pitcher for Oakland has only thrown 41 pitches through 4 innings. Tigers offense gotta keep em down!

[rondoman]

Ugh, tied game....

[trwi7]

I don't know what the ground rules are in Detroit but I can't imagine a fan reaching over the fence and taking away an opportunity for Reddick to make that catch is anything but fan interference. Of course it was called a homer, reviewed and upheld.

I'm pretty sure the padding with the yellow line on top is the home run barrier, not the fence above and behind it. If the ball was going above the padding (which it looks like it was) there can be no fan interference even if a fan reaches over the fence and touches the ball.

 

Edit: they are showing some replays now that make it look really close as to whether the ball was over the padding when the fan touched it. A tough one to overturn.

BTW, Tiger fans are showing that fans can easily get over a player taking PEDs and lying about it as long as he gets big hits.

Watching Scherzer and Jamey Wright, yes that Jamey Wright, work out of bases loaded no out jams. Baseball.

[rondoman]

It's crazy that Jamey Wright at 38 is still in the big leagues.

 

His last three seasons have been his best three seasons in his career.

Listening to the A's/Tigers game yesterday, the Detroit announcer stated that Oakland was 1-10 (now 1-11 after yesterday's game) in playoff games where they had a chance to eliminate their opponent (since the introduction of the wild card). Ouch.

 

Also, how did CB Bucknor get selected for umpire duty for the playoffs!?!

Boy, that's a tough call. Based on the trajectory of the ball it's probably a home run, interference or not. However, it also looks like it's going right for Reddick's glove. It's probably ruled the same way as if he was reaching into the crowd to catch a foul ball - once it's out of play it's anyone's ball.

[trwi7]

I wish I had recorded TBS postgame last night. The way the rule read, it seems like it should've been called fan interference.

[jerichoholicninja]

I hate the Cardinals so much.

 

That is all.

[trwi7]

Go Dodgers.

[jjkoestler]

Reason 1,345 to love BF.net. There were already two posts about STL and the game has been over for 3 minutes.

 

I hate the Cards. Dodgers in 5. Bonus points if Kershaw "accidentally" lets one slip and drills TLR in the stands.

Fact: Tony LaRussa has 17 cats.

I'll be interested to see if Zack speaks frankly about STL again. If he does, it might reignite my fan crush all over again.

 

Hatred with the fire of a billion suns. Seriously.

[SRB]

Sad to see the Cardinals win.

 

[sarcasm]I'm sure the Pirates will continue to be a playoff-caliber team though, given their reliance on breakout performances from their young stars this year, like A.J. Burnett, Francisco Liriano, Mark Melancon, Jason Grilli, and Russell Martin. Nowhere to go but up![/sarcasm]

[owbc]

As usual, the small market teams make the playoffs but are quickly eliminated. The A's are the only team left that I care about, I'm done with baseball for the year if they get eliminated. There's no fun in watching a game when you want both teams to lose.

[xisxisxis]

Go Cards!

 

Once again quality rises to the top...
