I just hope the Detroit Lions were watching tonight and take the frustration out on Cleveland this Sunday. Just pound them into submission.

Not necessarily better. But...different. sometimes players stop listening to a manager/coach who's been there for a while. Whether it's Hinch or hitting coaches, changes are necessary. An important game like today? They struck out 19 times. Harris is safe as long as that bottom line shows they made a boat load of money. Baseball is a business and the profit is more important than the product on the field to the bean counters. They fail to see that a long playoff run would give them even more beans to count. 😏😒

It's been such a slow fall from grace, I'm more disgusted than angry. Like...resigned to the fact that we're witnessing the biggest collapse in baseball history. This Tiger season will not only be talked about for years, it will be compared to any future team that blows a lead. 2 weeks ago, I wasn't paying attention to any other Central teams scores. I was watching Toronto, Seattle and Houston scores. Winning our division was a foregone conclusion. A choke job for the ages...

I'm just saying I don't agree moving him has a 0% chance. Harris hasn't made any blockbuster trades but if he was ever going to, it would be for a package he just can't say no to. I just don't see him letting Skubal walk for just a comp pick. Even if he were to wait until the trade deadline, what if Skubal gets hurt or has a bad season? I would say there's at least a 20% chance he'll be moved this winter.

It hasnt been the problem of the pitchers. It's our inability to score any runs consistently.

Be grateful it isn't Paddack.

No way. If there's an honest offer for him, Harris has to take it. He can't take the chance that we'll be in a tight race next year and have to deal him at the deadline. Keep him all year and settle for a comp pick? I say get a huge haul for him.

What's amazing is the Guardians started this streak after losing their closer for gambling. I hope they get swept in the wild card round.

I wonder how Skubal would do? We saw him in a deciding game last season, it wasn't fun.

JV woulda thrown back to back shutouts.

Enough of this nonsense. September 2025 Tiger baseball in a nutshell.

Jason made a funny...Skubal breaks another bat and Jason says it's the reason the word smithereens was invented..

Javy plays better defense and he can hit a RH pitcher better than the LH Sweeney can.

At least bust these guys inside to get them off the plate. They're just digging in and daring an inside fastball.

The guy is digging in looking to do damage. Plunk him...make him bleed. You wanna be a good...sport? Or you wanna win? A 98 MPH fastball to the knee may give us a better chance this week.

Plunk Ramirez...

I'll watch tonight because it's a Skubal start. Win and I'll keep watching. Lose and I'll finish binge watching Dexter; Resurrection.

Well, if we miss the playoffs, at least we'll make history.

That one is correct. My point is you can't argue with artificial intelligence, it's like arguing with yourself. Asking Grok if it's sure about an incorrect answer?

Really? It's usually the Free Press who is incorrect. Arguing with AI is pointless. 😅😅

I can't argue with Grok. It doesn't get facts wrong. This was in the paper this morning, Grok disagrees. I'll take what Grok says at correct;

I saw this in the Free Press this morning. I'm not sure how accurate it is; If the Guardians slide past the Tigers, it'll complete their rally from 151⁄ 2 games back in the Central (on July 8, when the Tigers set their high-water mark of 14 games ahead of the Royals and Twins). It would become the largest deficit ever overcome for a division or league crown, just ahead of the 1914 Braves, who went from 15 back (and last place in the NL) of the New York Giants on July 4 to 101⁄ 2 up on the second-place Giants by season's end.

I saw a meme on X the other day that showed how much gun violence was done by right-wing folks compared to the left. It was very eye opening, most of the more publicized ones were either far right-wing or brain washed MAGA folks.

From what I've read, Hep B is transmitted not just from the mother to the baby but is extremely contagious from anyone who has it to an unprotected infant. Somebody speaking about this should really know the actual facts and not spread misinformation or outright lies and false facts. This idiot, and people in his administration, are going to be killing thousands of innocent people. My uneducated advice for moms and dads is to take expert advice from medical professionals.

I really try to stay positive about the Lions. Too much negativity ruins the game for me. Stress the positive and try to look at the bright side of things. The Ravens take a 7 point lead in the 2nd half? Great, now it's our turn with the ball.
