MLB playoff games Live thread. Texas, Tampa game currently on TBS, Tigers, Yankees starting are 8:30 tonight. National League games are tomorrow.
Tigers Yankees game will start on TNT at 8:30 if this game isn’t over which doesn’t look likely.
Thanks for this thread, cc! Missing my Giants in the postseason, but the torture is considerably reduced.
Yesterday’s games were great fun!
Yankees get two in the top of the first but that isn’t unusual for Detroit.
We’ll see what happens when Verlander settles in, he looked pretty sharp, bet we don’t see anymore first pitch fastballs right down the middle next inning.
I thought they probably had a play at home for the 2nd run, they did the smart thing with V. on the mound.

Looks like everybodys coming out swinging tonight.
Yeah, the Bombers were not waiting much top of one.
Man if the ump squeezes on the outer half like that CC is going to be hurting. That was a lot of pitches, the first strike hits might have preserved V. if he settles. But he looked pretty sharp at the end, CC didn’t look as sharp, although with a different ump it would have been fine.

I didn’t catch it but I’m assuming Texas won
yeah.4-3

*Phew* The bullpen never makes it easy.
Inning started out well for the yanks, gardner can be a weapon. These double plays are really helping out both pitchers so far.

Brandon Inge. He fools pitchers by lurking low in the averages and then he strikes like a snake.
After spending half the season in Toledo he came out with a grand slam with his first at bat.
Wow, Sabathia walking a lot of batters.
The commenters were saying every pitch was in the the zone, just a really tight strike zone. Holy cow, he is getting a little peppered!

CC got out of that inning a lot easier than a lot of teams would have this year.
Could have been A LOT worse. He has thrown a lot of pitches...
Freegards
Friggen huge ballpark!!

FOX/ESPN would blow their brains out if we get a Rangers or Tigers vs. Brewers World Series. They are PRAYING for Yankees vs. Philadelphia. On the other hand; Cliff Lee did tell Rangers’ Ian Kinsler that “he would see them in the World Series”...
I’ve been there a few times. Comerica park is nice but it ain’t Tiger stadium. At Tiger stadium you were right there on the field if you were in the lower deck.
