American League Division Series Game #2 10/7/24 4:08PM
SeattleMike replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Game Threads
That is 2011 Verlandersque -
Who would have thought Cleveland, KC, and Detroit would comprise half of the 2024 AL playoff participants? BTW, the Tigers finished 20-12 against the AL East. Been a while.
-
I imagine Valdez will start Game 1. Does Hinch sit Carpenter?
-
Bingo. I highly doubt we see Maeda, Mize, and Montero back to back to back, especially after cutting a 5-run lead to 5-4.
-
They promoted Jobe with the intention of using him in the playoffs, I believe.
-
When/if they get bounced in the playoffs he will be back.
-
All the Tigers see now are LH relievers. Seems like every BP has 4 lefties too.
-
They desperately need a couple of RH hitting thumpers.
-
Crochet against the Tigers lefty heavy lineup was likely to be trouble.
-
The Tigers were running lineups out in July that had no one in the lineup with and an OPS+ above 100.
-
I also hope this puts to the rest the whole idea that we know anything definitely by Memorial Day. Sparky's 40 game mantra was always a bunch of baloney, but it gets repeated every year around that time.
-
Tough lineup and ballpark for righthanded pitcher struggling with his command.
-
Who knew trading Flaherty would yield fruit in 2024.
-
And he saved Holton for tomorrow.
-
Ibanez with a 525 OPS over last month. Smart move by O's manager to stay with the leftie knowing Ibanez not much of a threat right now.
-
O's would have been better with another blooper. That ball was hit too hard. Baseball.
-
Wouldn't be surprised if we saw him tonight.
-
I read an article by a KC writer earlier this year. The gist: Witt is the first Royal to post an OPS+ above 140 since the George Brett era. That is more than 3 decades. Astounding.
-
Who knew there were all these bullpens with 4 lefties. That is pretty much all the Tigers see now, it seems.
-
Holton for next two innings?
-
That was a tough hop, in fairness.
-
Everyone wanted Witt walked yesterday. Mize got the memo.
-
The Tigers lose a lot of replay challenges. They need to tighten up that operation.
-
Or just don't throw him a hanging curveball.
-
If the Tigers had been as healthy as the Royals have been all year I’m pretty sure they would have similar records. As it is, the difference is only 4.5 games. I still like the Tigers future better, although Detroit has no one like Bobby Witt.
