[PLAYOFF] Detroit Tigers(85-76) @ Minnesota Twins(85-76)

[Yawkey Way]

Probable Pitching Match-Up

Detroit: Rick Porcello (14-9, 4.09) @ Minnesota: Scott Baker(15-9, 4.36)

This is it boys. There has been the Miguel Cabrera controversy, the dramatic end to the season. It all boils down to this very game. Who you got, why you got them, use this as the gameday thread.

I'll be trying to do these for the entire playoff's, so stay tuned.

I personally have the Twins. I think that they're playing very strong baseball right now, and the Tigers really don't have the mental make up. Too much controversy going on and they've slipped up one too many times. The only pitcher i have confidence in on the mound would be Verlander for the Tigers, and unfortunately he got them to this game. Porcello is 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA in the Dome, and this is also the Twins last game in that Stadium. Too much momentum for the Twinkies. Minnesota Wins 5-3.

It'll be very hard for us to win there. Twins got all the momentum, Porcello hasn't pitched well there, and we've been awful down the stretch. Going to take some luck for the Tigers to win.

i was unaware that a realist could also be a Debbie Downer.

Point me in the direction that says the Tigers baseball they have played recently can put you at ease and make you confident enough to say that Detroit will win..

Miguel Cabrera and Rick Porcello

the same Miguel Cabrera that has been mired for the most part in a slump recently and the Rick Porcello who has NO playoff experience and has a 6+ ERA in the homer dome?

your letting homerism get too you recently jose.

Not only that but IF we do win, how are we going to get past the Yankees?

We got swept by the Royals, the Whitesox made us look stupid and the Twins own us.

The Tigers need to learn to play with purpose instead of always running half heartedly to first base.

No, thats Kleshreen. I think he actually enjoys the Tigers failure. I'm just stating the facts. Things aren't going in our favor. I think we can win, we just have to convert when we have runners in scoring position.
