Yeah it is not like Detroit where you have a bunch of bars and shops within a couple of blocks. Seattle’s stadium area has the odd one, but it’s not until you walk the 3/4 of a mile to the International District and Pioneer Square that you get critical mass. Given that there is a soccer game in the nearby football stadium kicking off a couple of hours before the baseball game, I might park for free 10 miles north of the city and take the cheap public transit train right to the stadium. That’s what I did when I saw the Wolverines play the Washington Huskies (different football stadium) last October. Super smooth on the way in, the problem is the station line-ups after the game.

I’ll be in this section 337, a few rows up from where this pic was taken. So pretty high up, but overall a nice enough seat. The Tigers’ dugout is on the 3rd base side. Paid US$225 for a single on StubHub, all-in after fees (exorbitant) and taxes. More than I’ve ever paid for a baseball ticket, but road playoff baseball is a rare chance.

Good point. The wins needed can only go down. However, while the losses to be eliminated can go down , that can also be re-set to a higher number at the beginning of a new series.

11 Tigers wins to a World Series title. 3 Tigers losses away from elimination. Better than 13:2 at the beginning of the wildcard round. Since '84, the Tigers got to 6 wins away from a WS title in '87, 3 in '06, 6 in '11, 4 in '12, 6 in '13 and 9 in '24.

Unless Woo was deliberately being coy to throw us off, his post-session comments and tone yesterday didn’t strike me as someone who would be ready even by then. More like Game 4 or 5 if necessary. But we will see. https://sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/seattle-mariners-bryan-woo-positive-throwing-session/1824127

So the remaining 8 teams are: Toronto Seattle New York Yankees Detroit Milwaukee Philadelphia Chicago Cubs LA Dodgers This to me feels like a just result, the proper eight teams taking the season as a whole.

That’s great, I hadn’t heard that. Here is the radio clip. So I didn’t recall it exactly right, but the gist. Pee Wee said that pitching coach Johnny Sain would watch Mickey’s bullpen warmup and report to Mayo Smith. If Mickey looked a little off, Pee Wee speculated the Tigers might have a reliever up and throwing right from the outset.

Interesting that in the pre-game show to Game 7 in ‘68 (available on YouTube), Ernie and Pee Wee Reese stressed that Mickey would be on a short leash but might go a few innings.

But now back to back HBPs with 1 out and the game is in the balance.

Oh wow, horrible call in Chicago right now. Padres down 2 in the 9th, 0 on 0 out, Boegarts absolutely drew a ball four on a full count pitch but it was called a strikeout.

Has that been confirmed? I was counting on him going on 4 days rest on Sunday and then again on 4 days rest on Friday for a Game 5 if necessary.

Party time! Come on everybody get down get with it!

So I guess Keider Montero will start Saturday?

MLB Network is in there now.

But selfishly, works for me, road trip!

Dan D’s call of final out. Tigers Eliminate Guardians.m4a

Seattle bound!!!

2 down, 1 to go!

1 down, 2 to go!

He really whipped it.

Are you kidding me?

Well, Ramirez can’t be the tying run.

Stop with this Ole Ole singing crap.
