10/2/25 3:08 pm Tigers @ Guardians AL Wild Card Game 3

[Nate7474]

Another day and another game Tork takes a ball called strike. I bet he can’t wait until next year to challenge those.

Torkelson is gonna hit .300 next year with ABS preventing all of his BS called 3rd strikeouts

[Hongbit]

Not a surprise as yesterday’s 1st base ump that called every questionable check swing a strike is behind the plate today.  

Just hope he calls it both ways

Kwan jinx.

No..I'm saying that the reality of the situation is that given a chance to produce for an AL contemder with a better overall line up, he failed.  So...criticizing the GM for not trading for him seems...odd.

Bregman..on the other hand..

So let's never sign or trade for any player and wait until the season is over to see how they did. Is that the logic?

[Sports_Freak]

Only 1 runner left on base. We're getting better. 😅

[lordstanley]

Flaherty looked better than Cecconi did in the 1st inning. Scoreless after 1. 

[monkeytargets39]

Flaherty 3 up 3 down.  Hinch will probably let him go 2 more hitters next inning before bringing in Kahnle.

No, it was evident Suarez was trending that way and his history went that way.  The start of the year was more the outlier - he had a hot start in 2024 also and fell off the cliff in the 2nd half.  And we were looking to add more contact if anything and he definitely didn't fit that mold.

He'll sign with Detroit this off season.

Bean Ramirez. 😆

Dominate the strike zone, right

[MichiganCardinal]

20 innings of postseason baseball.

1 earned run.

[Sports_Freak]

Just put up a huge crooked number, please. Score 6 or 7 runs and take away all of this stress. Please...

Only 1 homer by Tigers hitters in the past 5 games.

I want them to win today but I’m not going to be upset if they lose.  Without going full TP, I’m pretty much done with this team and their infuriating approach at the plate.  

[MichiganCardinal]

Did y'all know that kid debuted in the playoffs? I had no idea. Next you'll tell me Kershaw and Stafford were high school teammates.

One of my dad's favorite saying is "If you do it right he first time, you don't have to do it again."  Feel free to use, but do so wisely.

An old boss of mine had sign over his desk with something pretty close:

"Why is there never time to do it right the first time but always time to do it over?"

I think he will be a guy who it benefits more than most.

Yeah, I get it. Even if they somehow win, they would face a Seattle team that really pitches. And then, maybe Toronto. It's a long, long road to the World Series without getting the bye in the wildcard round. Especially as a 6 seed.

[Sports_Freak]

The kid gets a hit. Now Cleveland should trade Ramirez. 😆

I only have gameday but gameday is making it look like Javy returned to finding sliders low and away absolutely irresistible

It’s accurate

[MichiganCardinal]

Are they just showing a replay of yesterday's game with the scoring chance here? Or will they do something with it?

[monkeytargets39]

Pulling their starter already.  Maybe it’s their turn to manage like dumbasses
