Scoreboard Watching: ALCS Game 2 (Oct. 13, 2013)



Max Scherzer (0-0, -.-- ERA) vs. Clay Buchholz (0-0, -.-- ERA)

Red Sox try to surmount their offensive performance from last night's game, which should be fairly easy to do. Except they're facing old two-eyes, who has been lights out all season and post-season. Will the Patriots' win this afternoon spark a New England revolution? Or will the Tigers go all Katy Perry at Fenway?

It's the only baseball we've got tonight, so let's embrace it.

Plus any NFL one might want to comment on.

Ground out, strike out, fly out to start the game for Buch Holes.

ps- What NFL is on tonight?

Observation: Victorino gets HBP a lot.

Dusty Baker said...

Per EPSN Stats and Info:

"Shane Victorino has now been hit by a pitch 5 times in 24 PA this postseason.
That's the most HBP in a single postseason in MLB history."

Tigres go up 1-0 on some small ball. Stacy Peralta just keeps hitting. cc: Puig

DET up 1-0 in bottom 3rd.

My god ole two-eyes looks unhittable.

Dusty Baker said...

Terrific insight from that in-dugout interview. It didn't take anything away from the game.

Said no one in any universe, ever.

How bout that fantasy fooseball?!?

Dusty Baker said...

It's Dong!

Still no hits? Red Sox are showing up our offense.

Dusty Baker said...

Red Sox offense making us look like this season's Denver Broncos.

Dude, I did a post on Baseball Card Vandals on this very site!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Jeez. Red Sox look like shit. One of these two teams, the Dodgers or Sox is gonna come back and win their series...I'm just hoping it's the Blue.

Dusty Baker said...

Sorry my memory doesn't stretch as far as yours, Gnomes.

Dusty Baker said...

Victorino breaks up the no-hitter. Pedroia doubles off the Green Monstah. Vic scores. 5-1 DET.

Paul said...

I thought the walking dead starts tomorrow at 5 on TBS?

Dusty Baker said...

That is one well deserved dip, Scherzer.

Orel said...

Ortiz grand slam gives Boston the offensive momentum the Dodgers can't seem to find.

Dusty Baker said...

What a freaking baseball moment. Papi takes the first pitch of the AB deep, Torii Hunter flipping over into the home bullpen. This is playoff baseball, folks!

Dusty Baker said...

Red Sox walk off on a Saltalamacchia base hit to score Gomes. What a freaking game.

Paul said...

If that doesn't make you believe anything can happen in these games I don't know what will.

Paul said...

Well as long as you have a Big Papi or Kirk Gibson on your team.
