Previous message                 Next message Message #: 29673 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Jan 13, 2014 Subject: Blue Jays @ Tigers Two teams at offensive "extremes" met in Detroit: the Tigers have the most offensive talent of any team in the majors; the Blue Jays (who have nearly as much) have the #1 underachieving offense in the majors.  Fortunately for Toronto, the Tigers concealed most of their talent up until the finale, and even then only a fatal dose of sabotage defense cost the Jays the win....     Game 1: That rarest of all American league games -- a contest in which one team gets all the breaks, and it wasn't Toronto's opponent!  DEA starter Ben Rivera was vanquished after throwing 26 pitches but only retiring 2 batters, and the bullpen was generally even worse.  Bobby Witt did it again, finding a way to get his teammates to score a ton of runs to offset his lousy pitching.   But things went so well today that Witt skipped his usual weak performance and tossed a shutout.  Final score: 14-0.  The underachievingest offense anywhere got a brief vacation from their season-long woes, as Robby Alomar led the way with 4 runs & 4 RBI including his 19th home run.   =============================================================   Game 2: Something almost as rare happened today -- a pitchers' duel between two rotten hurlers, Jim Abbott & Bill Gullickson.  Both fared so well that the contest was scoreless after 7 innings and it wasn't due to a plethora of LOB either; they actually pitched competently (!).   All of the scoring came in the TOA 8th when Tim Jones singled with 1 out then stole second, apparently rattling Gullickson to the point where he allowed an automatic BPHR to the guy at the plate, Devon White.  Woody Williams, auditioning for a bigger role in 1994, lowered his ERA to 1.32 with some scoreless relief and Duane Ward allowed a .500 average in the bottom of the 9th (what else is new?) but eventually recorded the one out he needed, with the tying run on base and the losing run at the plate.  Final score: 2-0.   =============================================================   Game 3: Jack Morris took the mound to face his old mates, and David Wells did the same for the Tigers.  Detroit's chubby mediocrity held the underachievingest offense anywhere to 7 hits and no walks in 7.1 IP and waddled away with a 5-3 win, crippling the Jays' already miniscule chance at their well-deserved 1993 pennant.   All 5 Detroit runs came on 2 swings of the bat, both with (big surprise) 2 outs in an inning, after the third out should have already been recorded.   In the DEA second, Morris fanned a pair but allowed a single in between.  Dickie Thon hit a routine grounder to Rod Correia, who botched it to keep the inning alive and set up -- but of course -- the timely 3-run gopher that immediately followed.    In the DEA 5th, moments after the Jays had cut the deficit to 3-2, Kevin McReynolds' blown-x with 2 outs and 1 on kept the inning alive and set up the timely and demoralizing 2-run double that immediately followed, thus sealing another extremely costly undeserved defeat.   Alan
