Keider is only 24. I think we are going to see a lot of him next season.

They're playing 750 ball in the playoffs -- so far.

Kieder Montero's OPS against against Seattle *was* 1.042

ONE OUT LEFT

so who's pitching?

Finally a Tigers not swinging for the fences - gets the RBI

Tork worked the walk - but he needs to slow it down a little, he's over swinging when he does swing.

Vest finished at under 20 pitches. That's a victory.

Gleyber has tailed off so badly in the 2nd half his dreams of big contract offers are probably kaput.

Do the Tigers have no concept at all of protecting the plate?

if we had been playing reg season rules we would have had the speed advantage with Meadows over Naylor.

three well hit balls, three outs.

Tigers BaBIP'd

The guys in the both thought Raliegh couldn't score on a hit to left. I guess they haven't seen Riley's arm. But Finnegan moots the question.

so much for the good night in Cleveland waking up the bats.

you just wonder what 'plan' the tiger hitters are working from when they take so many strikes - esp on fastballs.

We're all waiting for the twist - there's got to be twist.

Kahnle giving up hard contact

Parker's misses are not even close. Kids needs a restructure.

who is this guy and why do you think anyone here would be supporting him in particular? But aside from the irrelevance of one more wacko in American Politics on any side, the complaint is pretty rich coming from from the side whose evangelicals bill Trump as some kind King Cyrus who must be forgiven every sacrilege because he is going to send the captives back to Jerusalem to build the temple. Not sure how abducting and sending poor Venezuelans back to South America gets that done, but whatever.

the difference is that Harbaugh already had a deep, deep resume.

there is so much player movement from year to year now that it's bound to take longer than it used to to figure what teams are.

Legally yes. The issue goes back to the fact that the entire system is broken. If you are going to make some kind of explicitly legal exemption and *invite* people into the country, then the only reasonable, moral, (indeed, need we say "Christian"?), thing to do is give them a path to permanent residence/citizenship. But since the legislative process is broken and both the legislative and judicial branches have basically abdicated everything to the executive since neither for them have been able to produce sane function for 30 yrs, we get governance by executive fiat which is then subject to the whims of each administration because it has no permanent legal standing. Trump is a disgusting human being to whom no sane person would give custody of dog let alone the lives of 350 million people, but OTOH, what does a Democratic admin think is going to happen when they make policy by fiat themselves and leave hundreds of thousands of people's lives potentially in the hands of someone like Trump?

and the other half is the naturalization process. It's only been in relatively recent years that we have the phenomenon of people coming here and not entering the naturalization process, in the current situation of course because many don't have legal status to access the process. When there is a straightforward and widely used path to naturalization, which was traditionally true in the US, the distinction on birth/blood citizenship fades from significance.

IDK - True, but I can see it the other way too. A couple of advantages of taking the ball: 1) because you don't know what the other team did, you're under less pressure, a FG might be enough. 2) You have the whole game clock, you can run a more leisurely offense, run the ball more (if you are running team etc) without worrying about the other team having burned the game clock.
