No, I've been out for a while

Harris is garbage as a GM and Hinch is extremely overrated. This team needed another bat and a real #2 starter.

How many playoff teams have a real #2 starter? There are only 52 pitchers who average 5 inning/start to get qualified for the ERA leaderboard. Only 30 of those had sub 4.0 ERAs.

The chances of having 2-3 starting pitchers that can be counted on for 5 innings and are healthy in October is not very high these days.

You can be a legit multi-year all star and still not be Skenes

Okay, that's not Skenes' fault though

Currently? The Dodgers, the Yankees, the Mariners, the Phillies, and the Blue Jays

Its actually pretty common in playoff teams.

First time the Tigers have scored against Miller in 25 innings

Vic walks twice in a game.

Gotta try to steal here

So, between innings, I noticed fs1 played some Zeppelin, probably in tribute to the Edgewater Hotel

And Riley Greene goes deep next pitch to put the kitties up a run

Can we hire whoever Baez went to to fix his swing?

Terrible call on that Tigers double in the 6th...that was as foul as foul gets...

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #137 on:** October 08, 2025, 05:16:58 pm »

You wonder if the path of a ball could be triangulated and modeled on these fair foul calls and hrs at some point.

If they called it fair, it should be reviewable

and it's better than omitting both els.

Personally, brought back memory of Schlitz

Impressed Luke's got a bat on a pitch that high

Welp, Blue Jays will take on the Mariners to determine who gets the privilege of losing to the Dodgers

Milwaukee / Seattle would be nice to see...likely not a big TV draw though...

Why? Because they were both originally based in Seattle?
