Hey, if people love it, that's fine. I don't. To each their own. But just because I don't like it doesn't mean I'm not sophisticated enough to understand it. I get why he's doing it. I just hope that the next guy is more dedicated to the team and its 162- (or 154-, whatever they end up deciding after expansion) game season. Just a personal preference. I acknowledged upfront that I might be on an island with this one. We all know how forums work—we bring up all kinds of important and unimportant things.

Yeah, having Dan Dickerson filling in is a good deal. If Jason decides to do Tiger games full time, I'm fine with it. I just hope that if he ever does leave, we get somebody better than Shep. I really didn't like his approach. Jason cracks me up at least once a game, he's very quick witted.

So if Cleveland loses tonight, the decision is start Skubal tomorrow and hope to win division and host a 3 game series but he would then only pitch game 3 on short rest and may not even get a chance at all.  Option two is pitch whoever and start Skubal on extra rest in Game 1 even if it’s on the road.

This is not even a choice.  There’s only one move . 

 

This is correct and it shouldn't even be a question.

They play on a field, with a ball, bats, gloves. You still must pitch, catch, and throw the ball. Doesn't matter where it is. And has been said on this very site a gazillion times over the years; in a short series/playoffs anything can happen.

For the wanting the bye crowd. Rather not. No live pitching for a few days might **** you up. On the other hand, the Tigers need the practice. 🙂

Tough time to hit your first batter of your career.   Even tougher way for Bochy to lose maybe his last game ever.  He didn’t need to walk the bases loaded with 2 out but got overly cautious and made a managerial decision that ended the game.

Bochy isn't managing tomorrow?

I was just cursing the fact that this game with the Red Sox Sunday is inexplicably at around 3 PM Eastern time and then I remembered they do this every year for the last game of the season and that all the games begin roughly within 5 to 10 minutes of each other.

I’m on this island with you, brother. 
 

I think it sucks that he chooses to do ****ty college football games and whatnot during the September overlap period. These football guys are mostly independent contractors from what I understand so he doesn’t have to do it. 
 

I like him as an announcer and I’m happy to have him calling our games, and I’m also happy that we get Dan on the days Jason is off calling a game that appeals to alumni only. But I don’t think any other relevant team has a main announcer that isn’t around for games during a playoff push. 
 

I do remember last year for the clinch he found a replacement for the ****ty college game he was calling so that he could be on the mic for the tigers that weekend. It was understandable that he didn’t think there would be meaningful baseball played by the tigers in September 2024.

No excuse for this year, though.
