Why is Det using Valverde tonight?

QQPALLADIUM · 10-11-11, 10:08 PM

didn't want to have to bring him in mid inning is my guess if the other relief guy put 2 guys on

Leyland does a lot of mind-boggling shit.

Luckily, Young is comatose right now at the plate.

LizReed44 · 10-11-11, 10:14 PM

GOTTA have this game laker plain and simple. Tomorrow doesn't really matter if you go down zip-3.

And who knows?? They could win 10-0 tomorrow.....

paco · 10-11-11, 10:14 PM

Cuz he is best closer in the game, and we needed this game, and couldnt take a chance.

Valverde now 53/53

It was 5-2. You start the 9th with AA and if he gets in trouble, then call in Grande.

At 3-2, use Valverde. At 5-2, it's a waste.

t-wizzle · 10-11-11, 10:19 PM

Probably wasn't necessary. It also won't be necessary to use him tomorrow when the Tigers are trailing in the 9th.

The guy pitched 2 innings last night and now they use him tonight with a 3 run lead. They might need him tomorrow. I dont get it.

This is why you are not the manager* of a baseball team.

So if they lead tomorrow in the ninth will he be available? They had a 3 run lead for fukks sakes versus a team who didnt want to be at the game.

We all know his dominance is short lived....might as well use him all up while he's still getting guys out. Throw him til his fukkin arm falls off.

yeah, 3 run leads in the ninth in baseball mean its a lock the game is over... teams never rally, ever. he should have said to himself "the rangers don't want to be here"... let me bring in my worst guy

No he has an injury. Will prob be sitting in bed with his gameboy jerking off.

I cant wait till Valverde is doing the same watching the world series from home.

So why not start the inning with a different reliever and tap Valverde at the first sign of trouble?

u really are a clown. texas ml live was +1300 in the 7th. you think there was any chance they were gonna win. they didnt need valverde. i really hope they need him tomorrow and when they dont have that option lose or bring him in tired and lose anyways for guys like you to understand. guy stop pretending you have been watching bases for years. no reason to bring in jose tonight except to pad his stats.

jim · 10-11-11, 10:34 PM

because leyland got my text about needing the under, and who knows he might have bet it himself. not much room for error, you go with your best.

ThaTopMoron · 10-11-11, 10:39 PM

Its a 3 run fukkking game... u bring in your damn closer if you don't get it you are a fool.

and oh boy, i would have been pissed if he didn't... i had the under 8 riding on it too... had to sweat it out big

yeah don't bring me in to finish the game ....cause i won't be able to pitch tomorrow! i'm a big fat fukkn pussy... is what every pitcher would be telling the manager in the playoffs

don't bring me in!!! i don't wanna wrap up the game in the 9th and do my job

Yes i know. The whole world is laughing at philly right now. Doesn't help that we have clowns like dlunc running their mouths on the site acting like we had the world series and super bowl in the bag.

yes, DET is being lead by a fool.... he doesn't do anything right, they are in the ALCS by fluke

go post this question in any baseball forums across the web... why did team A bring in their closer who hasn't blown a save all year in a game up by 3 going to the top of the 9th... oh and they are down 0-2 in the series and need the WIN no matter what or they are toast

u just don't get it... i'm done
