At the 5:57 mark Ray calls Kaline's 307th homer which passed Hank Greenberg as the all-time Tigers' HR leader and at the 22:37 mark Ray calls a Gates Brown extra inning walkoff homer. I think I still have that somewhere 1 Quote
lordstanley Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Each of the Tigers-Guardians games Tuesday-Thursday are set for 1:08pm ET. If the Tigers advance they would play in Seattle next Saturday and Sunday, at Comerica on Tuesday Oct 7 and if necessary Wednesday October 8. The ALDS Game 5 would be on Friday October 10 in Seattle.

BoomGaspar Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Shameless plug... With the 2025 regular season complete, this quiz has been fully updated. There have now been 161 players who have appeared in at least one game with the Tigers in the 2020s...how many can you remember? For your convenience, other decades... 2010s 2000s 1990s 1980s 1970s 1960s 1950s 2 Quote
IdahoBert Posted September 29 Author Posted September 29 Maybe playing the odds with every at bat - which is a make do thing born from expediency - is a scotch tape and paper clip thing that isn’t infinitely sustainable, especially when the guys you really rely upon falter and teams have figured out how to pitch to them. Add to that relievers who are really failed starters also get figured out. Quote
Shelton Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Is this the thread where you postseason rosterbate? Quote

We joke about the Smith era Tigers always trading with the Padres for example. Quote
kdog Posted September 29 Posted September 29 At this point, I'm not as fixated on the playoff result. These are going to be high leverage low scoring games. The teams that makes more contact is probably going to win...that's probably Cleveland. I want to see what lessons they learn moving forward. They need more contact guys offensively and fewer contact guys on the staff. 2 Quote

monkeytargets39 Posted September 29 Posted September 29 (edited) Why would we keep Keider rostered for this series? Horn should be up, otherwise we have to potentially navigate 3 games with just two lefties in the pen, and it potentially limits Holton to one inning appearances. Edited September 29 by monkeytargets39 Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Also, if Skubal wants to ask for 400 mil next offseason, I’m gonna need to see a minimum of 8 shutout innings tomorrow. Quote

He will be full rest by Game 3 in case you need a long man that day. Quote

Can’t have Hurter or Holton be long relief in case you need them the next game for matchups. Plus it’s gives Hinch a lot more flexibility with how to utilize Melton. I would rather see Melton start game 2 if we win game one and use Flaherty in relief….even if Flaherty starts and does well, we will probably be in the bullpen by the 5th inning—-which is not ideal for us. Quote
Edman85 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Okay... Parsing the rules, I don't think they can put Horn on the roster because he is inside his 15-day Option window. He would need to replace a pitcher who has been injured since he was sent down. Same thing is true of Urquidy (even though there's no smoke around him being around the roster) or Jung (except it would need to be a position player). Quote

Even Kwan is not so good offensively. He doesn't strike out, but he had a .705 OPS. The Tigers had a far better offense most of the season. They need to get Greene, Torkelson and Carpenter back on track. The only area where the Indians are superior is the bullpen. 1 Quote

His OPS is approx 2.587 vs Detroit. Don't bother looking it up, we all know its true. Quote

I did look it up, and this does not include last year's ALDS. Career .701 OPS vs the Tigers. I only post this because that is much lower than I thought. 1 Quote
