I'm not saying they can't be. But posters expect every single player to get better next year and that just doesn't happen. Sweeney, Jung, Meadows, Dingler are really complete unknowns whether they can improve or be productive mlb players. Torkelson looks lost at the plate. Greene has his moments but he is hurt a lot. Rogers is what he is. Carpenter and Vierling are solid. they might all turn out to be great, but it's never as simple as people make it out to be. Look at the 84 Tigers. Everyone thought that team would dominate for years and they were slightly above average in 85 and 86 before getting throttled by the twins in the playoffs in 87 and that was the end of them. I guess I feel like these guys have a lot to prove next season

Even if they were the worst GM and manager in mlb, they both have additional years on their contract and I can't imagine Ilitch firing them and then having to pay someone else to do the job I have doubts that this hot streak is sustainable beyond this year, and I don't believe ilitch will put any more money than the bare minimum to bring in a few vets in the future, but that's a lament for another day.

I stream everything. I don't have cable or direct TV. I have Pluto TV, Roku, a fee other free apps, and stream online any sporting event I want to watch. It's not very tough at all. There really isn't anything worth paying for on television.

It's not like the Guardians have a rotation full of Cy Young candidates. Bibee is good but after that it's a bit weak. The problem is once they get to their bullpen, the Tigers are in trouble. And they need to not pitch to Ramirez.

They won't pitch him game 1. Olson has to start sometime. If the Tigers can win that game and then Skubal's start, they can hold him back for game 5 if needed and if not he can start the alcs game 1. My question is what is the point of having Mize on the roster? I get if you don't carry him, that might cause bad blood next season, but he sucks anyway and is basically a #4 starter. Other than blowout, does he get in a game? I don't know if there were any other options but it seems a waste.

I hate it. And he should take flak for it.

That's the run. But beware, Jason Foley might be coming into the game eventually.

The "disgraced" wing of the HOF. That would be awesome. Maybe have a "douchebag" wing also? I nominate Jack Morris to be in that wing.

I have a feeling that poor defensive play by Keith is going to come back to haunt the Tigers.

It's silly David Ortiz is in the HOF, failing multiple PED tests while guys like Bonds, in the conversation for greatest player ever, Roger Clemens, in the conversation for greatest pitcher ever, and Alex Rodriguez, probably the greatest SS or 3B ever, are not in the HOF.

This home plate umpire is really good.

Michael Kay is awful for sure. I'd rather listen to Joe Buck.

Streaming the espn feed. These announcers are worthy of the mute button.

Please don't use Foley anymore

Smartest man in the room syndrome.

And now Hinch comes and gets him?

I'd gladly trade a run to get Foley out of the game.

Going to give the game away.

Hopefully. No confidence in Foley

So not the Steve Howe type of lifetime ban?

Funny, Rose named one of his kids, Ty.

Think there will be a push to put him in the Hall of Fame now?

I used to go to 1 or 2 games a year and remember Mike Napoli just crushing Tigers pitching a few times. One year he was on the Angels and the next year I went to a game and he was on Texas.

With all of his faults, he still is a huge part of baseball history.

Charlie Hustle, RIP.
