why did tigers not throw home there ?

Would make sense to protect home plate in a scoreless game in the 7th inning. Tigers are sure to lose game 2 now.

^ i could understand doing what they did earlier in the game , or with a lead

but not btm 7th in a 0 run game , huge mistake and i blame leyland

huge task for Detroit now. They are in a must win the next 2 games just to stay alive.

One of the biggest reasons it makes ZERO sense is DET can buy a fukin hit this series let alone a run it seems. You MUST keep it a scoreless game right there. And they 100% had the runner out at home there.

If you bring your infield in with no outs and the bases load, you are asking to give the other team a 4-5 run inning.

It was the right play. As it turned out, Detroit got out of a bases loaded no out jam with only giving up 1 run and they are still in the game instead of being down 4 or 5 runs. That ball would have been hard to throw somebody out at home anyway.

It was good baseball. If Detroit can't score 1 run they don't deserve to win anyway.

I guess it doesn't matter that much. They gave up another run the following inning. Add that to the fact they cannot seem to buy a run anymore and it adds up to another loss. Hopefully they can make it competitive in Detroit. They better. Already their down 2 games to zilch!

Im not watching the game.. but from MLB stupid ass website.. and just stunned in disbelief at the idiot pitchers.. i mean.. im pretty sure I dont have to be watching it to see that Smiley is an A1 screwup... Intentionally walking guys after he just got hammered the inning before by bases loaded.

better question, why did they not play the bunt?

Mikail · 10-25-12, 10:18 PM

Tigers made a lot of questionable decisions the whole game. I'd question their intent but it won't do any good. I bet they'll win game 3
