All the pressure is on Houston. When they lose, we're in the playoffs. So this game doesn't matter. 😅
-
Somebody once said no lead is safe at Fenway Park. And Boston had a bunch of walkoff wins this season. I can barely watch.
-
Hinch is gonna bring in Vest for the 9th, isnt he?
-
6 outs away from the playoffs. A one run lead in Fenway Park. Gulp...
-
Keep bringing in BP arms until one of them gives it up. The Righty-Lefty matchups are all that matter. 100% playing it by the book...
-
Riley has struck out over 200 times this season and has batted in the middle of the order all season long. That's on Hinch.
-
You think Harris is a good GM? What do you like better, his trades or free agent signings? 😅🤣
-
Rod Allen says...hold my beer. 🤣🥰
-
Hinch will get a phone call from Chris telling him a home series is more important that who's pitching. Looking at it as a business instead of looking it as a fan will say winning the division is the smart play. I say win the division without Skubal pitching Sunday. Give him another shot at beating Cleveland at Comerica in game 1.
-
Tolle is very hittable.
-
Meadows is only in there against LH pitchers for his defense.
-
Early had a game where he struck out 11 hitters in 5 innings.
-
It may not be something he/they can change on the fly during the season. Riley is very close to being a big superstar. Get his strikeouts down to around 75 a season and watch him take off. He's really going to need to change his approach though.
-
And if Skubal has to pitch Sunday, he probably wouldn't pitch in the wild card series. Unless there was a rainout? On 3 days rest is a asking a bit too much. Again....unless the Tigers score a ton of early inning runs and Hinch decides to pull him.
-
I would rather have him start game 1 on the road in NY. or in Cleveland.
-
Boston would move down if the Tigers (and Cleveland) win the next 2. We would have the tie-breaker. Boston might prefer that? Play at Cleveland instead of in NY?
-
As a fan, my dream is to save Skubal and win both Boston games while Cleveland loses one. It looks like, if thats the case, we would play Cleveland at Comerica? It would give Tarik a chance at revenge on the Guardians for not beating them in September.
-
Hinch? The guy who says he plays every day to win the game that day? Then with a 1 run lead and a fresh bullpen coming off an off day, he uses relief pitchers just up from Toledo and we lose? (Septenber 5th). His best arms out there sitting and watching? I bet he wishes he had that game back. He's like a politician. Don't believe anything he says.

Week Four: Cleveland Browns (1-2) @ Detroit Lions (2-1)
Sports_Freak replied to MichiganCardinal's topic in Detroit Lions
The Cleveland defense has me a bit worried. Im sure MCDC won't let his team look past them. He should have the Lions ready to play and I'm sure the fans will help them. Beating Baltimore may give the team a huge confidence boost. Bigly... -
That's a fans emotional wish. But if it means making millions of dollars for having 3 possible home games instead of all wild card road games? Fans are great but we need to remember baseball is a business. To make money. The more money, the more successful. Skubal will pitch Sunday.
-
I guarantee you if the Tigers still have the chance to win the division, he'll pitch Sunday. Home playoff games money is too big to resist. Another example of baseball being a business...
-
Winning the division would mean home games in the WC round. So yes, you would want to win if there were a chance.
-
If Houston loses tonight, I think our magic # to make the playoffs is 1.
-
Oh, Boston clinched a playoff spot tonight. Celebrate boys, all night long...🤣🤣
-
If the Tigers somehow end up making the playoffs, would 2025 still be considered a collapse? I say yes...
