That was my thought. You're more likely to get an OK game out of Mize than Flaherty, but you are more likely to get a dominant game out of Flaherty especially aginst a strong line-up.

I believe Philadelphia was around 1200. WCAU? Baltimore and Cleveland also had strong signals. I hated the Orioles because they were so good. I liked them a little better when Jon Miller was their broadcaster starting in the mid 80s. What I remember most about Cleveland was Pete Franklin. He was a jerk, but at that time being a jerk on the radio was new and unique so I thought it was funny. Plus, he used to trigger Yankees fans by explaining to them why the indians were better than the Yankees.

We were able to pick that up occasionally, but it was never very clear. If we moved the radio in the right position we could hear games fade in and out of static. We often had to guess what was happening in the game based on the crowd noise, broadcaster intonation and timimg of commercials. Philadelphia was really strong though and Harry Kalas had such a memorable voice.

I have always had a soft spot for the Phillies because my father was a Cardinals fan and we used to listen to Cardinals/Phillies games on the Radio when I was a kid. The Philadelphia station had a strong signal and it was one of the few stations where we could listen to Cardinal games. That was before I knew that WJR had a strong signal too.

I think it's becauise they trust Flaherty more. If this series goes five games and the Tigers win, then the pitcher who pitches the opener of the next series would pitch three times if it goes 7 games. That would probably be Flaherty

What are Mariners fans chanting every time Suarez is up? Is it simply "Eugenio"?

Big clutch hit by Torkelson who has been struggling.

I have seen little clips. It seems like something they would do in between innings at a minor league. I can't see watching a full game.

Finnegan has been good.

Hinch is a genius again.

The good Tigers are officially back.

I knew or I might have turned it off. 😃

It's called baseball.

It's so nice to see real baseball in extra innings.

Tough luck that inning, but to be fair the Mariners have had some warning track outs tonight.

Damn, he caught the ball with eyes closed (just about).

Senor Smoke? I am sorry, but there is only one Senor Smoke. You can't take that name.

OK, I have youtube tv, so I guess I can watch.

I can't keep track of any of this. I never know whether I can watch games until they start.

calling Sue old or being old?

That is 56 years and 11 playoff appearances. I would say they deserve it.

Like most baseball playoff series. I look at Seattle's line-up though and it looks better than either than Cleveland or Detroit. I don't think Seattle or Detroit is the same offensive team they were in the first half. Your point about Skubal rings true though. Aces have greater value in the playoffs. Instead of pitching 20% of the games, he is pitching 40% of the games. For what it's worth, FanGraphs World Series win odds: Seattle 17.7% Deroit 5.8%

I think Seattle is the favorite, but it's 5-game series and Skubal is pitching 2 of those games. Anything can happen

Seeing Jim Cowan in this thread makes me realize he has not posted for a few months. Is he OK? Has anyone been in contact with him?

They,ll need to hit too. It will hard to limit Seattle to one run per game.
