Technically they are tied but would lose the tiebreaker. What is the MLB policy on rainouts now? Let’s say the Tigers and Twins are tied going into final Sunday. Tigers win to go 1/2 game up. Twins game is delayed by rain for hours and forecast looks bad for next 24 hours. Are the Twins’ guaranteed the right for that game to be played?

Tied! The Tigers have come all the way back.

Remains tied, off to the bottom of the 10th. Game is now being shown on MLB network.

Yeah, ESPN’s Cy Young Predictor has Clase over Skubal but I can’t see that happening. https://www.espn.com/mlb/features/cyyoung

Walkoff wanted.

It has been a good week.

I’m definitely scoreboard watching them today. While a sweep is a stretch and I’d be more than happy with 2 of this 3 weekend, if the Tigers were to win all 3 against the Birds they’d go into the final week with a realistic shot at hosting a playoff series as the top seeded wildcard team.

I don’t like not being guaranteed having Dan when turning on the radio feed, which is how I follow 80% of the games.

The Tigers’ playoff push is the Red Wings’ stretch run in reverse.

After being 15 games behind Baltimore after games of August 10, just 5.5 weeks ago! In that period the Tigers also have been: - 11.0 games better than the Red Sox - 10.5 games better than the Twins - 9.5 games better than the Mariners - 9.5 games better than the Rays - 8.0 games better than the Royals - 7.0 games better than the Jays - 7.0 games better than the Rangers - 5.5 games better than the Guardians - 5.5 games better than the Astros - 4.5 games better than the Yankees

Sweep!

This is what the standings looked like a month ago today.'

Cleveland beats Minnesota. Tigers' chances of catching the Guardians to win the Central take a hit and are now on life support.

Guardians on the brink of victory. New pitcher coming in though. Baltimore is slumping hard. They're almost catchable, if the Tigers were to sweep them this weekend, a tall order.

9-1 would match the 88-74 record of the 2012 pennant-winning Tigers.

Great way of describing it. And their fans didn't even know what to do with their hands.

The Tigers could close to within 2 of KC with a win tomorrow but my count, they'll lose the tiebreaker with KC, no? A win tomorrow would tie the season series, but the 2nd method is record within the division and KC has an insurmountable lead at 33-18 vs the Tigers' 26-22. Or am I getting something wrong (I wish I am)?

Win! What a ride the Tigers are on.

Balk ... and a bloop!

Balk!

Because of a flight delayed on my way home from Europe, I had to unexpectedly spend last night in Minneapolis and am at the airport now. I spat on two of the hoodies and clipped my fingernails into one of the mugs. It is a playoff race and we all have to do our part.

Am still in Spain, still enjoying it, you’re right about the weather being ideal. I might have the Tigers game on for the first few innings in my hotel room but will be fast asleep for the Lions. I’m doing the Camino de Santiago - Frances route on foot, starting in St Jean Pied de Port just inside France a week ago today, up and over the Pyrenees, and now making my way across the top of Spain. Around 425k completed 8 days in, around 350k to go, done next weekend at some point if all goes well.

I’m on vacation in Spain and must say it’s confusing following the Tigers. MLB lists games by when they were played Spain time, so when I woke up this morning they had Thursday’s game a loss but showed Friday’s game a dramatic comeback 4-3 victory. Here is what they show as the upcoming schedule.

But was Profar really “looking up” or rather burying his head in the wall, lol.

Jays thumping Twins 11-0. I won’t actually cheer for the Jays, but since Tigers need Twins to lose I approve of this thumping
