This strike zone is awful, for both teams.

Bad call on strike 3, but we will take it.

Thank god Tork. Huge run.

We are we expecting to see? Guenther, Holton, Vest….Jobe?

Cool so having a hitless 1B contributed to the wins? We couldn’t have used contact with Rogers on 2b? The Tigers are doing well and Tork is a black hole—both can be true.

Hinch really needs to think about Ibanez or Jung or someone else. Tork is killing this team.

Fangraphs has it at 87 pct.

Great news on the Jobe promotion, but I am surprised that Miller is DFAd. Seemed like he still had good stuff and when he was on he was really good.

Edit: looks like gehringer asked the exact same question at same time.

Serious question— are the playoff odds (such as fangraphs) based bottoms up on expected lineup/pitching matchups with real time individual player forecasts?

I’m interested to see what Hinch/Harris do next year in the rotation. With the success of the opener/long reliever model, I assume it continues. Skubal, a FA, and Olson would be logical starters, and then could we go with two bullpen days? Montero, Hurter, Mize, Maeda might be better of going 5 innings out of the pen. Melton has good peripherals in the minors. It would also be a good way to limit Jobe innings we he hopefully gets called up next year.

Not even sure what point is being made. Entire track record matters more than small sample size. Jung hasn’t hit great this year but don’t think we should write him off. Sweeney has hit well recently but hasn’t hit as well over his entire career. I hope Sweeney continues to hit like this even if I don’t expect it to continue.

Sweeneys 60ABs are encouraging….but it’s 60 ABs. I wouldn’t hate the idea of Sweeney as full time SS next year but only if we have a platoon/fallback option if he doesn’t hit like this over 500 ABs.
