That was an UNBELIEVABLE strike one swing by Big Dumpster!

As do they all. Although it does look more like more effort with Skubal.

Nuh-uh, not me. You.

OK, now Skubal has got to throw nine full and win it.

And if Kirby falters even a little, they have Luis Castillo on full rest to pick up that slack.

Son of a biscuit-eating bulldog! Shut the front door!

Well, something was caught on that throw …

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more perfect caught-stealing throw than the one Cal Raliegh made to get Colt at second.

We’ve been watching this team long enough to know that these guys will suck for five or six or seven innings, like, suck really bad, and then they’ll bust out and score enough runs and win. We’ve also been watching this team long enough to see them suck for a full nine innings and lose. Point being, regardless of how bad these guys look now, it can still go either way, so we are nothing like out of the game yet.

lol Phillies reverse-Caseyed Shohei Ohtani!

I get what you're trying to say, but do you really want to train LHBs to hit LHPs during the playoffs? Forcing a change of course during the postseason doesn't seem to make so much sense, for obvious reasons. And even if we did try to iron out those differences, it might not succeed anyway. And maybe they already have tried and it hasn't worked out so well? And even if they did have some measure of success at improving he performance of LHBs against LHPs, when the rubber meets the road in the playoffs, is forcing a guy who's historically bad against LHPs to hit against them at the defining point of the season the right move? Because if they do that and fail, you know what the blowback against it is going to be, right?

As long as he doesn't get hurt by this time next year, Skubal is going to get good and paid for 2027 and beyond. But if he can put a shutdown performance and an LDS-clinching win tomorrow on his resume, that by itself might add a hundred million to the bottom line.

I’d like to beat these guys 13-3 or something. We sure need a game like that to get back on the horse.

Oh my god, who are you guys and what have you done with the Detroit Tigers??

Oooh ... I wanna tell you to keep giving up, but ... 😉

For a team with a trash roster who's not even trying to win at any time before or during the season, the Tigers seem to have done all right this year.

I sure do, and I can’t be the only one on the planet that occurs to. I wonder whether his teammates call him “big ****ter” and they just sanitized it for public consumption.

After the bad ju-ju of a single bouncing off two gloves, a bases loaded walk on a pitch a mile wide, and getting a double play while still giving up a run, it doesn’t feel as though we have a chance to win today.

I'm fine with either.

Can I tell you just how much I hate that nickname? Actively ****ing hate it. Two reasons: (1) I don't ever, ever want to have to contemplate a ballplayer's ass, for any reason; (2) taking a dump is the exact equivalent of taking a ****, and I don't want to have to contemplate that during ballgames, either. Just terrible all around.

I would hate to lose like the Jays did last night, too, but I would never want to be blown out. I want my team to be competitive, not stumbling bumbling fools.

Speaking of facts and avatars, this happened for a fact.

Please, god, don't let it be a blowout on the way out.

Yes, and I hate it too, but I have to respect the reasoning behind it. New York is the biggest DMA and the Yankees are the bigger team within it. They are the symbol of baseball as a sport throughout the world, and more people in the US identify as Yankee fans, rightly or wrongly, than with any other team. It sucks and it's never gonna change, but lemonade, it also makes seeing them lose that much sweeter.
