I’m OK with the way this game ended. I got swept up into the frenzy, but I’m glad we at least won.

That inning turned out to be much ado about nothing. — Shakespeare

Does replacing Carp with Malloy qualify as overmanaging? Asking for a friend.

Parker Meadows triples

I guess they used Hurter as much as they felt comfortable using him with the future in mind which is a rational decision. Hopefully we can get to Soto.

So did we just throw in the towel?

Pérez runs us out of the inning.

Wenceel Pérez singles to start the two out rally.

If the Tigers could have one of those classic, as of late, 5-run innings that would be great.

Hurter is being pretty economical with his pitch count.

This game could go both ways.,

A “group effort no no” sounds sort of dicey.

Ruh-roh, it’s one of those games…

Good 3rd inning by Hurter

CARP BOMB

This series with Baltimore is where the rubber really meets the road. I’m just looking forward to some good or even hopeful play rather than bad play. But this team has surprised the heck out of me and a lot of us in this recent run and it’s completely legitimate to get excited about a wildcard, although I find it hard to invest too much emotion into it myself. But I want to reiterate how shocked I am by the successes and how entertaining and hopeful this team’s play has been these last few weeks. In my lifetime, we’ve won two World Series which were spectacular and glorious, and we’ve lost two that were really, really painful. So I’ve known great joy, but I’m philosophical about this and it’s sort of like walking to school uphill both to and from and eating the bark off of trees and being grateful. I’m going to be grateful for all the unexpected good signs this season has had to offer and however many more games we win I will be pretty much OK. For fans who haven’t enjoyed these heights I really want this for you. You deserve it. Good luck to us all in however our hopes and dreams may play out. This series will be a signature test.

I was looking for that in my photo collection and couldn’t find it so thanks now I have it.

Moran is an injoke we’ve traded in for many years. It was derived from a guy with a durag on his head, holding a sign calling other people morons, and he misspelled it.

It’s like he didn’t want the season to extend into the playoffs. Sounds like he’s in a really strange emotional, psychological space which of course happens, I get it but wow, I’ve never heard of anything like this happening.

Nobody can expect to sweep every series against even bad teams. Even bad teams are filled with the best professional athletes in this discipline in the world.

Down 3-2.
