On paper, the Tigers should have a pretty good starting rotation. 6 starting pitchers...Skubal, Mize, Olson, Jobe, Flaherty and Melton. If Flahert stays and injuries don't happen. Olson should be ready for spring, I don't know the timetable on Jobe.

IDK about this. If he cuts back on his strikeouts he probably will sacrifice some power. Say...20 to 25 home runs but only 125 strikeouts? He would probably increase his RBI total. IMO, he would be a much more valuable #3 hitter. As it is, he's a #6 or #7 hitter at best. Hinch needs to adjust his thinking about Riley if he doesn't change his swing.

Dan Dickerson saying what he really thinks of game 5;

Branch and Kirby are also hurt? Our injured secondary against these KC speedsters? This may be loss #2.

Riley really needs to overhaul his swing this off-season. No way should he be allowed to strikeout over 200 times while hitting in the middle of the lineup. Harris hasn't made any big trades or signed any quality free agents, other than Torres and he kinda fell into our lap. Expecting him to trade our best player is somewhat unrealistic. And we really don't know the full story of his inability to bring in trade deadline talent. For all we know, he may have been told not to add any big salaries to our payroll. If Skubal has another Cy Young season in 2026, I could see some team offering Boras that $400m/10 year contract. I just don't see the Tigers winning that bidding war. Dodgers, Yankees or Mets. Maybe San Diego. Trade him in the off-season? Again, Harris hasn't made any huge trades. We'll see...

I hear Riley Greene was hitting in a stewardess on the flight home. Yeah, he struck out. : )

Wild pitch?

That runner means nothing.

Big Dumpster?

Just give it up...we're done. Good season, team.

Bullpen luck coming to an end.

I'm ready for breakfast.

We're doomed. Just ka-put.

New rule...1st team to 3rd base wins.

16th inning goes to ghost runners? This is ridiculous.

I guess. Runs would make it a bit more exciting. And you can see the loss coming if the Tigers don't score. Just a matter of time.

It's how to quiet the crowd...put them to sleep.

Huh? Offense anemic teams being as inept as possible.

Everybody seen enough?

Skubal deserved better but this offense didn't deserve to win. It's that simple.

Gonna take a HR to win this game.

Don't score and like I said, it's only a matter of time. Seattle sucks as much as us or just a little bit less, if they end up winning.

Unreal

We should have scored. 2 runs...or 3.

Leadoff walk=doom.
