Finnegan bails out Holton. Vest for the 9th?

Holton in need of a complete short block rebuild.

I didn't foresee the bullpen being this terrible. I actually thought they would be a strength

Great to see the bats come alive. Torres and Carp are definitely giving them a lift

Guardians lose. Division deficit down to 9.5 games.

And wild card deficit is down to 5.5.

And Skubal should be back soon. Maybe JV as well.

And I am half tempted to see what the betting odds are on Detroit making the post season. What a difference a week can make

There is a long, long way to go, and even finishing .500 after a 22-38 start would be a literal historical first in big league history. But this is a nice start to a recovery.

65-53 gets them to .500. That’s a .601 winning percentage going forward.  Not impossible, but not much wiggle room.

The current 3rd wildcard (Texas) is 31-32, so below .500.  Now it seems doubtful a losing record gets into the playoffs.  I certainly wouldn’t want to see it.  So that .601 is probably not going to cut it, and along with that is the fact that there are 7 teams to jump to get that 3rd wildcard spot.

We’re all well aware that this team hasn’t really had an elongated run of good baseball.  Maybe they’ve just begun such a stretch.  And then hopefully add recovered Skubal and Mize into the mix, figure out what to do with SP moving into RP roles, and see what happens.

I think it’s odd to witness the last 2 seasons of streaks, by the Tigers and other teams, and think the season is over.
