  1. You build for the playoffs by having Andy Ibanez available to pinch hit.
  2. Even when a 98-win team is playing an 86-win team, a playoff tournament can resemble a crapshoot. But that will even moreso be the case if you have a bunch of 90-wins vs 94-wins matchups.
  3. One of my favourite movie scenes is set in Vienna. From the movie Before Sunrise with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
  4. Morton: 6.0 IP, 1R, 4H, 1BB, 6K
  5. This series has lived up to expectations
  6. That was our chance. 1-0 Phillies at the 7th inning stretch.
  7. 0-0 after 1. I have low expectations for this game. So if Morton can give 5-6 innings with, say, 2 runs then that might be a satisfactory outcome win or lose, because it would indicate he might make a real contribution the rest of the way.
  8. So the three teams to care about - Guardians, Jays and Astros - all lose, so good day so far. And the Yankees also lost which means their record in the past 45 games is 17-28!
  9. Houston has lost to Boston and now is 3 games behind the Tigers and Jays in the race for a bye into the ALDS
  10. Somehow I picture quiet baseball analysts more as the murderer than the murder solvers. I bet Dexter pored over box scores and advance stats in his free time away from the police lab, when he wasn’t stabbing.
  11. Don't all events at Tennessee speedways need to start with a prayer? If so, won't be able to top this one.
  12. Astros lose to Boston. Astros are again 2.5 games behind the Tigers, just as they were at the All Star Break.
  13. 6-8 hitters in the order. No excuse to blow this.
  14. More suspense than I expected for a game in which the Tigers have scored 7 runs in a Skubal start.
  15. Castellanos comes up as the tying run at the plate.
  16. The two aces combine for 6 strikeouts in the 1st inning.
  17. As for non-contenders, Pittsburgh and Colorado had a wild one. Pittsburgh had a 9-1 lead after the 1st inning. 16-10 going into the 8th inning. Colorado won 17-16!
  18. Yankees fans are very chill too right now, I’m sure.
  19. Loss. Closer Duran retires the Tigers on 4 pitches.
  20. Tigers bullpen: 2IP 4R 6H 1BB 1E
  21. Hanifee fielded that way too tentatively, you could anticipate the bad throw before it even left his hand.
