Pitching most of the time seems to stop "good hitting". This is what the Tigers Pitchers have to deal with. The #9 hitter is batting .340 for the season.
On the bench... The always dangerous (and rises to the occasion in post seasons) Bernie Williams. Melky Cabrera on the bench as well. Both switch-hitters.
number 9 hitter may hit .340 but the number 4-5-6 hitters strike out alot and hit in the .250-.290 range.
Any one can pick a hitter out of the lineup and says he hits better than someone elses number so and so hitter.
IF the Tigers pitching start pitching like they are capable of, this will be a very good series.
I see that your starter tonight had a very good year, but everyone is saying they have such a pitching advantage over Detroit, I don't see it....
They are concerned with the Tigers rookie pitchers, last time I looked Wang was not a seasoned vetern, he's not done anything in the post season either.
What was it thet Jeter said when then Yankees lost last year, something about these are not Yankees, something to that idea .... True Yankees was it...
Well they have no more Yankees this year than last year.....
Yankees fans may ultimatly have the last laugh, but it would be nice to at least be accnoledged ... We were the best team in baseball for most of the year.
