Hey, if people love it, that's fine. I don't. To each their own. But just because I don't like it doesn't mean I'm not sophisticated enough to understand it. I get why he's doing it. I just hope that the next guy is more dedicated to the team and its 162- (or 154-, whatever they end up deciding after expansion) game season. Just a personal preference. I acknowledged upfront that I might be on an island with this one. We all know how forums work—we bring up all kinds of important and unimportant things.

I'm happy they made the playoffs, and pissed that they gave away a first round bye. With that said, they were great in June, terrible in July, great in August, terrible in September, so... October?

They are going to be exhausted after all that baserunning and winning.

Gotta admit, that’s some exclamation mark. What the Guards have done is really something special, and if it hadn’t come at the expense of our guys I would have thoroughly enjoyed it.

A part of me just wants this season to get over and done with so I can invest my time in worrying about things I can actually affect like the state of the world and the limitations of human mortality. <ducks>

“It is what it is…”

Did you see that curve? Paddack won't be able to do that today.

Ray Lane was very solid. Great Pipes. He had along life. RIP

If we could have had one player all season, I would take Olson.

I think this team has missed a healthy Vierling this year more than has been discussed.

So if Cleveland loses tonight, the decision is start Skubal tomorrow and hope to win division and host a 3 game series but he would then only pitch game 3 on short rest and may not even get a chance at all. Option two is pitch whoever and start Skubal on extra rest in Game 1 even if it’s on the road. This is not even a choice. There’s only one move .

A morally bankrupt individual making an intellectually bankrupt comparison between guns and cars? Must be another day in America. And this whole idea of "Charlie was a Christian gentleman just trying to create honest dialogue" crap that people (not just you) have been trying to snow the rest of us with is just eye-rolling nonsense. His whole "prove me wrong" format was designed not to genuinely engage with differing viewpoints, but to create gotcha moments that would resonate on social media. He was was, after all, a social media influencer first and foremost. I promise you never once did he ever post any video of him getting smoked in a debate by anyone. The whole thing was an intellectually dishonest exercise from the word "go".

It’s a hard pill for me to swallow when Tork talked yesterday about how many beers he was drinking last night yet. Dingler or Torres or Greene or Tork would have been so exhausted by an 8th or 9th inning at bat that tomorrow’s off day wouldn’t be enough to recover? I’m actually ticked off.

I’m all for resting the pitching staff. But when the division is in play with the Tigers and Guardians both in 1-run games, could we please get Greene, Tork and Dingler into the game now.

Well, the offense was pretty poor today. The Browns inept offense created a lot of short fields for the offense and the Kalif punt return TD made the score look like a good offensive performance when it wasn't but it's a positive when the Lions play their C Game and still win by 24 points.

He makes it look so easy. Not too many WRs punch that in

I'd think about bringing backups in - the way guys are falling. If they get the TD here it's Kyle Allen/Craig Reynolds time. But first - Goff to Jaymo for a TD so I can ice my fanatasy game.

Williams caught one!

Finally, a caught ball by Jaymo.

Even if I agree with you, please don't do that here.

Cj Gardner-Johnson is available

Lions bringing their C game today, at least on offense. Maybe even their D game. Kind of expected a letdown after the big Ravens win, I mean they're not robots.

Wow, Flacco's kids wearing Lions gear? He's not even from around here. DETROIT LIONS = AMERICA'S REAL TEAM !!!!

Seems like they are forcing it deep.

I think he has some bruised ribs. He took a shot and was slow to get up early in the game. Then that was was another body blow.

This is why St Brown was so wide open.

Using pregame Fangraphs odds of the individual games, our opponent chances are... Host Cleveland 15.8% At Cleveland 61.5% At Toronto 16.8% At New York 5.9%

You’re catching on.

It’s gratuitous to call the Browns a professional sports team given their ownership.

Wearing my Olde English D thong today for good luck.

Local guy - went to Mackenzie HS. He and my uncle ran in the same crowd of ne'er-do-wells back in the day.

Might as well finish the regular season with a win

Doesn't break my heart ...

lol, a walkoff hit by the pitch. After an IBB to load the bases the batter before that.

This is correct and it shouldn't even be a question. They play on a field, with a ball, bats, gloves. You still must pitch, catch, and throw the ball. Doesn't matter where it is. And has been said on this very site a gazillion times over the years; in a short series/playoffs anything can happen. For the wanting the bye crowd. Rather not. No live pitching for a few days might **** you up. On the other hand, the Tigers need the practice. 🙂

Hey you guys, Thanks for being a pretty darn cool group. Thanks for helping me get through this. Hopefully we stay busy for a few more weeks.

Relieved as much as happy. No matter what else happens this season, at least the Tigers have managed to maintain a shred of dignity. Blowing the division AND missing the playoffs altogether could have taken years to live down.

SOMEBODY LET THE TIGERS GET LUKEWARM!!!

i tend to buy the "youre overrating your own prospects" argument combined with the "you only have so many years with skubal so try to win with him" argument more.

Appalling behavior with the heckling. This isn't baseball, this is golf. The American fans treatment of the Europeans has been disgraceful.

Keith didnt get those AB's this year. Splits don't tend to stabilize until you get 1000 or so against LHP. Meadows and Greene have defensive value, so you stomach the platoon split. Carpenter doesn't.

You must not be listening to the Tigers radio feed because Bobby Scales is a really good analyst.

This is a good old-fashioned butt whooping. The only thing more disappointing than the US performance is the behavior from the US crowd.

September 27 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/september-27

I have now sent at least one email every single day for the past calendar year to John James. The response rate has been less than 10%. Every Friday I ask him to provide five things he accomplished for the week. It seems my best response rate was when I was calling him a liar if he votes to cut Medicaid. He hasn't responded to my Epstein emails. Today I made fun of him for finishing 4th in a straw poll among Republicans. I'm like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption. I'll keep writing my letters.

I can't blame people for being bitter towards the Wings, but the prospects have been looking good so I am personally choosing to focus on that! It has been fun seeing them mixed in with our NHL roster, and overall doing pretty well.

I once made a remark to a visitor at Colonial Williamsburg who asked if he could drive down the streets in the Colonial Area. He was a bit offended because I told him there were no cars in 1774. He could ride his horse... Some people just don't understand sarcasm
