WOOP WOOP!

[Jim Cowan]

Well done lads

[IdahoBert]

I am absolutely amazed, especially after that first game. Wow. I would’ve been totally OK with a 1-2 series in St. Louis and the idea that we go and actually win the series 2-1 is just astonishing.

It is dry...should be from now until November. So, no rainouts!

Do you even need a driveway? Don't you just sit by the pool with a cold beverage while young ladies in bikinis frolic to and fro?

Series win against what had been a red-hot St. Louis team. 4-2 road trip. Tigers can do little wrong.

If we get out of here with two wins I will feel like we stole the Hope diamond.

A perfect and concise statement. But to expand on it? I mentally resigned myself to the Tigers losing this game. As a BP day and against a very good home team, I didn't see how we could win. So a victory here is pure joy, as it was unexpected.

I wonder how collegial the Tigers and Cardinals Live group broadcast is going to be.

It's always good to beat a good National League team two of three in their park—especially one that is arguing our biggest rival over there.

The one creep was kinda laughing at Todd Jones after the first game. He who laughs last, laughs best.

And helping out the Cubbies!

Is Dingler really tall and Daniela really short? He is towering over her. 

[gehringer_2]

Even with the BP game today the Tigers have 6 BP arms available and a starter that has gone at least 5 in 7 of 9 starts. 

AJ and this staff are pretty much re-writing the book on how to design and manage a pitching staff.

6'1" and 210 lbs. Not too big to be a catcher...an All Star catcher?

And what is really remarkable is they're doing it (last year and today) with the 3 hitter minimum rule. Pretty amazing.

Against Cleveland will be going with Flaherty, Jackson Jobe, Chaos, then Skubal. 

[oblong]

Damn it feels good to be a gangster 

[gehringer_2]

Cleveland does not have a RHB with an OPS+ >101.

Ha. Indeed.

[IdahoBert]

I’m grateful that when we play Cleveland we don’t have to share the pre-and post game with their FanDuel counterparts. They have their own network thing going on.  

[Sports_Freak]

.660 ball....on pace for 107 wins. Yeah, no way.

I think Mize may be coming back Saturday?

[gehringer_2]

In addition to Skubal, both Reese and Jobe have negative platoon OPS against splits - they have been handling LHH.

The good part about a staff that throws the change-up.
