6/8/25 1:40PM Cubs @ Tigers

Nice swing by Greene, for a long out. Encouraging.

[IdahoBert]

Apparently, the Cubs philosophy of using the team is different from what AJ does because the Tigers faced a hitter who hadn’t seen action in days and the pitcher right now hasn’t seen action in eight days.

CoPa might have cost Tork and Riley homers today.

[IdahoBert]

More runs sure would be a pleasant occurrence

Kahnle is winning me over.  

[Tigermojo]

That does sound like a 90's action movie. Andy Dirks is Tough to Kick

Well, whaddya know, Hanifee comes out and gets three outs with yielding a run. Next thing you know, Bresike is gonna come out and get three outs without giving up a run.

Shhhh...don't give Hinch any (unpleasant) ideas. 😅

[GalagaGuy]

Come on Baez, that slam insurance was right there for the taking.

Just by my eye, the Cubs seem to be acting really entitled about this strike calling thing and that just doesn’t seem to work well with this umpiring crew. 

I mean, they have a lot of legitimate gripes. This crew has been pretty bad for both teams.

Totally I don’t really blame them, but you have to be careful about this kind of griping.

I think it's okay to pick your spots and give them what-for. Down two in the middle of rubber match might not be that time, though.

Tigers win game, Tigers win series. 

[holygoat]

Big league series win right there.

Taking two of three from the team with the best record in the National League is awesome, but shutting them out in the finale is a huge feather in the cap, and yet another notice to the test of baseball and the nation: we’re for real.  

[Tigermojo]

35, 45, 25?

[oblong]

2 of 3 against the best team that came in with the best NL record but will leave without it. 

[gehringer_2]

I like 7 hits from 3,4,5 much better than the other.

[Sports_Freak]

Best offense in baseball and the Tigers held them to 1 run Friday and shut them out today. And they struck out 12 times against our pitching today. Very impressive, enjoy your day off, boys!!

[IdahoBert]

Too bad that the Tigers are going to have to face the Orioles now that they’re not sucking having won 10 of their last 13 and 7 of their last 8. 

[lordstanley]

Guardians beat the Astros, so the Tigers' lead for a bye into the ALDS is 6 games over AL West leader Houston.
