Leave Melton in

Again in the 8th.  He's cruising along, no stress.

Hot take:  Extend Melton now

Wow, what a great eight innings for Melton.

17 innings a row retired. 22 straight strikes at one point according to the Tampa announcers.

Maddoxesque performance by Melton.

No need to extend a starting pitcher beyond the first 6 years.  They all get hurt.

Win 25 in a row, trade Skubal for a haul anyway.

I like June.

It really was. A young and inexperienced pitcher making only his 3rd start of 2026? Pretty impressive, he retired the last 17 hitters. Some people say you need to get to the good pitchers early in the game because once they settle in, they're gonna beat you.

Sweep!

Took a while to get the brooms out of storage. Well done, boys.

So...can we cancel the day off?

[romad1]

I like the direction this team is heading.  

[GalagaGuy]

Fire Hinch!

 

We still doing this?  🤔

Rotation has been good as advertised, just with a bunch of other guys.

All this team does is win.  We’ve gone from ****ty Tigs to Gritty Tigs in 3 days!
