    fade Fister today as Oakland closes this out.

    the A's are in the Tigers head bad. they have them on the ropes and they will knock them out early today.

    more importantly the pitching match up; Fister is a disaster waiting to happen. he has an insane BABIP of .332, while the opposition is hitting .280 off him and a line drive rate of nearly 22%. not good, going up against a Oakland offense that woke up yesterday and is now reeling with confidence.

    this is a 5 o clock start, so in a sense you can consider the first few innings a "day game". in day games, per say, Fister has given 9 HRs, 78 hits in 78 innings pitched so its key for Oakland to jump on him early.

    not to mention, to close out the season in his last three starts, he had a 1.43 WHIP, giving up 25 hits in 21 innings pitched. so he isn't exactly coming into this game feeling great about his stuff.

    on the other side Dan Straily, comes in with a boat load of confidence finishing off the season with solid numbers; last three starts, 1.17 WHIP, 2.50 ERA while surrending just 12 hits in 19 innings pitched. again i refer to early innings day start theme which is crucial, cause in day games, Straily is outstanding, with a 2.14 ERA, 54 innings pitched on just 37 hits, 1 long ball and a total of 13 earned runs. domination.

    (yes it is a 5 o clock start, so technically not a "day game") but the first few innings will be and in this game they are so critical. Straily has the superior numbers here than Fister. As I pointed out earlier, Oakland is already fkn with the Tigers heads bad and if they get out on the scoreboard early, I think that is all she wrote and this thing could get ugly quick.

    Oakland +135

    Only thing is Scherzer could be in at the first sign of trouble.

    don't mind that. in that sense i will AGREE with you about uncharted waters. there you have a starter coming out of the pen, possibly coming on with inherited runners. plus Oakland should have a much better approach towards him.

    you can see the Tigers frustration mounting with every inning that passes by. Oakland must tact more runs on.

    he's thrown OK.....but has gotten bailed out big time by Oakland feeling the pressure, and chasing pitchers pitch, with runners in scoring position, which they've had on in practically every inning and choked so far.

    Actually thought we were lucky on the grounder anyone but Fielders wide ass woulda been on 3rd. HR nullifies that though come Straily settle down.
