Hinch was asked this early in the season when Javy was going well. A reporter asked him if he thought about moving him up in the lineup. Hinch responded "would you?"
Tigers with a big lead late will ease the worries. I have a strange confident feeling. If we can't win with the best pitcher in baseball on the mound, we don't deserve it. Skubal will shut them down but who is gonna pitch against Toronto? I was really hoping we wouldn't even have to play a 5th ALDS game.
Oh, I agreed then and I agree now. But with legal gambling, a lot of people will call it all fixed. Against all logic, it just proves that many people aren't that bright. Or that many people are that cynical.
The Seattle crowd is even harder on their home team that the Comerica park crowd is on the Tigers. I mean, their victory against us in game 2 was their first home playoff win in 24 years!! I'm not even sure when their last playoff series win was. The Tigers can totally take the crowd out of it with a couple/few early inning runs.
