Will we ever know how serious/aggressive the Tigers will be in re-signing Skubal? Will they need to provide specific contract terms? They are in a no-win situation on this.

How we feelin’?

I probably hate the Red Sox more. We’ve had success against the Yankees in the postseason. Still bitter about the Papi grand slam. It’s a shame they both can’t lose this series.

Nice to see some Joe Coleman love.

with our offense, I wonder if we would have been better served having Skubal face Bibee in Game 2, and take your chances on that one and a Game 3, if necessary? Hate to potentially waste another Skubal start.

really hope we didn't let Williams off the hook--he looks locked in now.

Indians taking a page out of the first half Tigers with that hustle play. Smart against a pitcher like Skubal.

Wish Hinch would call for the double-play here.

didn't see a replay, but the called strike 3 on Greene looked low. Too close to take, though.

Great dog, though

My Delorean and I just returned from the future. <Spoiler Alert> Guardians win 5-2. Skubal pitches well, but our lineup and pen struggle. (Don’t kill the time-traveling messenger.)

100% agreement with all of this

Of course I want them to win, but realistically don't think they have a chance. The Indians are the more talented team this season and I suspect are in their heads. At this point I have more confidence in Gavin Williams shutting us down than Skubal dominating the Indians. Im looking ahead to next season. I’ve been a bit of a Harris apologist, but that will end after this offseason if he doesn’t recognize that the Greene/Tork/Carp trifecta should be our 3rd-5th best hitters on the team. Maybe McGonigle and Clark will eventually fill in as our two best hitters, but we need two consistently better offensive players next season, acquired from outside the org. Also, let’s avoid the starting pitcher lottery picks and acquire an established #2, who can help us next season and serve as protection for a Skubal exodus.

But I was told we’d regress after losing Benedict and Glenn

Empty win. Happy for those of you are excited, though.

Benetti and Dirks cute banter not as funny these days. Probably hard for them, too. At least we can tune out or look away.

This is the most difficult season since 2003. And that includes the JaCoby Jones era.

Should be in the pen. He’ll definitely opt in to his contact for next season.

Damn you, first half Tigers, for lulling me into a false sense of happiness and security. This is going to leave such a bad taste in Tiger fans mouths that they’ll likely get booed on Opening Day.

I’m at peace. Go Lions!

solid, but he’s no Potsy Clark

I hated that guy when we had him. One of the few, if only, “character” misses by Brad and Dan.

I have seen the future and, spoiler alert, we’ll finish this season with 86 wins. Would have been a solid outcome prior to this season, but an utter disaster now.

Brilliant Offensive Coordinator!
