Might as well win the series.

Yesterday’s was one of the greatest Tigers games I have ever seen in my life. I mean, come on, they were done.

[chasfh]

The so-called McStinky had a pretty cool moment in the clubhouse yesterday.

Zach McKinstry was still pumping his fists triumphantly in the clubhouse following the Tigers most incredible, most improbable 11-9, 10-inning walk-off win over the N.L. West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday at Comerica Park.

How improbable? The Dodgers were 47-0 this season when leading after eight innings and they went into the ninth with a 9-4 lead.

"Huh," McKinstry said. "That's cool. Now they're 47-1."

Spoken by the resident psychology major/ baseball manager.

"Colt is in such a good place mentally and physically and most importantly, emotionally," said Tigers' manager AJ Hinch. "I know from the very beginning he felt like he belonged. But you still have to prove it to the boys and you have to prove it to the fans and you have to prove it to yourself sometimes."

Made me think of   "Well I'll only be 82"

Back soreness. Ok in the field but painful swinging the bat.

Update today they hope the break is enough to rest Baez' back and Canha's right wrist.

He’s not Lou Gehrig. He can’t play through lower back stiffness.

Bullpen days for both teams. Imagine if there’d been interleague play in 1966 and you bring your kid to the ballpark for the only game they’ll ever see, and the possibility of Koufax going against Lolich has been discussed, and you get a bullpen day.

Holy ****, I had no idea! Now I hate MLB Network even more—although they did protect the fee-fees of Dodger fans, so maybe they are doing God's work after all ...

Quote

… MLB Network made the decision Saturday to cut away from the Tigers-Dodgers game with the Tigers down 9-6 but rallying in the ninth inning. They cut away to their coverage of the MLB Futures Game, and viewers missed the dramatic conclusion.

Oh, man, Dan Dickerson is off from today's game. Neither on radio or TV—maybe he has the vapors after the excitement of yesterday's comeback ... 😉

Is it super windy in Detroit today? Because the Perez drop did not seem like a five-star catch opportunity.

Very costly mistake.

[chasfh]

Brieske's BABIP is soaring ...

[IdahoBert]

It’s a fugettaboutit day for both teams. There’s not a whole lot riding on this game so just sitting back and enjoying it or whatever is a good idea. Although I’m going to a movie in the next hour, so I won’t see it through to the end.

[IdahoBert]

Hope Dan’s OK…

[1984Echoes]

Brieske not sharp.

2-0.

[Tigermojo]

Give them a free run. Sure.

How did that free 3rd run score...?

Runners at the corners. Guy on first goes halfway. Throw to second. Guy on third scores before the tag.

[Tigeraholic1]

Looking like a turn the game back on in the 8th inning kind of day again.
