There will be plenty of that from many people if they lose the wildcard series.
-
I see the season as a whole as pretty much what I expected. The end was was very frustrating and disappointing and nothing to celebrate, but they played way over their heads in the first half. If someone told me at the beginning of the season that they would win 87 games and get a wild card. I would have been satisfied.

That's pretty good for a boomer.

Very strategic. Hinch really is a genius.
-
They are currently at 14 pitchers. I don't think they need more than 12 in a playoff series. They can probably just drop two of Paddack/ Rainey/ Sewald.
-
They want to keep their backend guys fresh for the playoffs, so they needed innings from Paddack. The Red Sox are probably doing the same thing. It's being played almost like an exhibition game and each team is hoping to get lucky.

He's just Paddacking his stats.

Tigers win. Guardians lose.

Yes, 2009 is another example. The Bucky Dent game is one of my favorite baseball memories and 2009 game 163 perhaps my worst.
-
Playing the Indians in the first round would be like 1978 when the RedSox blew a 14 game lead and then lost the Bucky Dent game in 1978.

I am not attached to Greene. He's a good player, but not a diiference maker. I would NOT trade him for a bunch of pretty good prospects. I would trade him for Chet Lemon, but there aren't a lot of trades like that anymore. Most deals now involve established major leaguers for prospects, so I don't see a trade for multiple average players.

Did they need to throw it all away in order to make imporvements this year?
-
Harris shouldn't go anywhere. He is generally good at his job. I'd like him to be a little more aggressive this off-season. Who knows how long it will be before they get another chance after Skubal leaves. It could happen fast given their system, but you can't count on it.
-
One could say that he's so focused on his long-term plan that he can't make adjustments when given a current opportunity to win.
-
Bert, It's your turn to start the game thread. Biff failed.
-
Torkelson got two hits tonight. He's been pretty consistent all year, but he's not the kind of bat that can carry a team. Just a .800 OPS guy. Greene's problem is he can't hit lefties at all, pennant race or not.
-
Skubal never does anything when it counts, so it doesn't matter either way!
-
I've heard the Scherrer story, but I heard it a slightly differently than this article says. I read in TSN years ago that when Scherrer complained to Lajoie that he was given a different ring than Trammell and some others, Lajoie responded: That's right. You were". I like that version better!

They need magnesium citrate gummies.

Shades of 1967...but with more winners.
-
The 2025 Tigers have now matched the win total of the 2024 Tigers.

yes

They were easy to like when they were playing well, but I was liking the way they were playing more than I liked the players. I mean I don't dislike them, but they they are not interesting personalities.
-
I joked about that early in the season. The team has no personality. The look like a white suburban middle class travel team. I don't think that is why they are losing, but it makes for less entertainment.
