Do you walk Cruz to keep the damage at 1 run and take your chances with the next hitter or pitch to Cruz so he can hit another HR? Fortunately it never got to this point, but something to ponder.

I have a binder which says that can’t happen!

Phil Coke without a platoon advantage is not better than Ryan Perry with a platoon advantage. If the point was to conserve relievers for the next day, then why have Perry warm up in the first place?

I didn’t agree at all with Leyland’s decision.

I wouldn’t have had the stomach to leave Coke in to face Napoli. Leyland looked like it was giving him a belly ache, too.

Just need to elimnate the mistake pitches. Texas is too good for that. Verlander flirted with long ball, high strikes all evening. Most Rangers couldn’t catch up to him, but Cruz is not like ‘most’.

Keep the ball down boys.

GO TIGERS

The drug subtexts just write themselves, folks.
