This is so disappointing. I don’t know if this team has merely peaked and been figured out and are unable to make adjustments or not. Torkelson made adjustments last year. Can the rest of them who still remain do that? Last year‘s run and the first part of this season for a goodly amount of time seemed too good to be true and I guess it was. Maybe rolling the dice on the odds and riding a wave of team spirit or whatever doesn’t have a lasting shelf life. They no longer look like the same ball club we got used to.

Yes. It doesn’t matter who you send up there. At least they won’t be suffering a walk off 10th inning loss.

It’s almost like neither of these teams deserves to win. The Tigers deserve punishment for their hubris and triumphalism during their hot streak, and Cleveland simply because it’s Cleveland.

But of course, Meadows strikes out.

Sigh. Golden opportunities, continually wasted and losing this game in the 10th would be really painful

The season hangs in the balance with Wenceel.

This game is getting tedious.

It looked to me like to play at third occurred just before crossing home.

And BABIP Comes to Cleveland’s rescue as Riley lines out to center.

Wow, both pitchers getting pulled by the fifth inning. They’re treating this like it’s a playoff game…

I am willing to repent for everything if Riley Greene hits a three run homer right now

The second run is taken away.

Call overturned heck. It looked like the right hand didn’t make it in.

I don’t know though

He’s safe

Loaded for free swinger Baez

I really dislike it when the Cleveland crowd rises in hysterical joy anxious for the next pitch to put us down

2 on 2 out it’s up to McKinstry

Instead of following this game too closely I think I might watch a playful nihilistic French film from the 1960s where everybody dies because that is at least fiction.

If with a clear, cool head, the Tigers are also boiling over with a need to make good on the promises of this season, I’ll be happy with that. And maybe they don’t even need to have a vengeful spirit, just an acute recognition of circumstances that sparks something inside. And some luck.
