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.

“Tigers threaten but do not score”. x100

Cleveland Butterfingers. 1-0 Tigers.

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

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

I’ll take my cue from a man who knows his team way more than any of us do. AJ Hinch showed us today he has no confidence in his #2 pitcher and no confidence in supposedly our #1 hitter. That, and the Tigers’ track record of losing one big game after another the past 3 weeks, points to a 5-2 loss on Thursday. I will watch and root, because Tigers playoff baseball is always better than no Tigers baseball, but my expectations are low.

Game time subject to change, as far as I understand. The Padres are on their way to forcing a Game 3, in which case the Tigers would either be playing at 1:08pm ET if the other two series also get extended, or at 3:08pm if one or two series finish today. If the Cubs come back to eliminate the Padres today and the other two series also wrap up today, then the Tigers would play tomorrow night.

By my count, the Tigers have scored 2 or fewer runs in 9 of their past 13 games, have scored 3 or fewer runs in 11 of their past 13 games and haven’t scored 6 runs or more in their past 18 games.

If Dingler gets on McK would come up as the tying run at the plate.
