chasfh Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Holy **** Bryce Harper back flipped that cut off throw over to first base to get Moreno out after driving home Carroll with the single. Back flip! Quote
CMU97 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 That was not what I expected. AZ to the series. Quote
MIguy Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 No Astros or Phillies makes me a happy boy. Rooting for Arizona but won't be bothered if Texas wins. 1 Quote
Tigermojo Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Yay! One step closer to the offseason. 2 Quote
lordstanley Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Arizona's making it to the World Series shows the Tigers may only be 6 wins shy of being a contender. 1 Quote
oblong Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 If AZ wins that will make another team with 2 WS titles since the Tigers won last believe in Karma? Phillies were chirping about jumping in the pool in the AZ ballpark when they clinched the series there. 1 Quote
Tenacious D Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I predict very low ratings. I doubt America, outside of Phoenix, can name a single DBack. Quote

Arizona was 52-110 in 2021, 74-88 in 2022, and 84-78 this season. Texas was 60-102 in 2021, 68-94 in 2022, and 90-72 this season. Cabrera is off of the books and Baez will be the only significant salary around. There are a few emerging younger players. The pitching side seems to be a continuing positive if the can keep healthy. Do it, Scotty. Put a playoff roster together this offseason. 1 Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Cool story, Andrew Saalfrank went to my kids Lutheran school in New Haven, IN. In 8th grade his basketball team went to the Lutheran national final four, lost in championship game. He was an assistant coach for my son's basketball team two years ago when they finished runner up in the state championship. Still comes to our little church when he is back in town.

1776 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Dan said on the Petzold podcast that he believes the Tigers will look for a veteran bat, or two. He also expects the team to compete for the division title. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll have to see it to believe it. 1 Quote

oblong Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Both teams are 9-3 in the post season and won games 6 and 7 of the LCS on the road. Texas outscored the Rays 11-1, the O's 21-11. Arizona won both games in Milwaukee and LA before the NLCS. Quote

SoCalTiger Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 AZ shows that solid defense and pitching wins. Quote
chasfh Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I think it's somewhat disappointing that an 84-78 team is going to play a 90-72 team in the World Series. I know that's the kind of thing we can expect to see more of with expanded playoffs, and in fact I will enjoy watching these games and certain of the players on these teams. I would prefer the teams with the best records, or close to the best, make the Series. Just my preference, shaped by a lifetime of fandom. YMMV, and probably does. Of course, if the Tigers go 84-78 next season and make the World Series, I will definitely throw this opinion into the dustbin of history. 😁 2 Quote

If this offseason had a broad crop of position player FAs, I would be on board with signing a few. Maybe next year? This year, get FA arms while there are solid options there, hope to add a bat if it makes sense? Quote
