I'm on the radio now and Scales and Dickerson claim Cora made the right signal and Tork didn't pick it up. He wave the trailing runner with one arm the other (according to Dan) was pointing at 3rd which means stop but they admitted he waits  very late to signal a runner to stop.

No he never pointed at third. He waved Tork around until he was right at the bag and then pointed at the fielder who had the ball. He was supposed to point at third but forgot to.

But who cares 1.5!!!!!!!!!!

Step by step. Picking up 3 games in 9 is a lot better than having to pick 4 in ten. ESPN playoff odds reach double figures.....😳

After that grand slam, we outscored them 7-2. Skubal tomorrow. Forget the Twins, let's catch KC AND the Twins! 😁

This is a game the early season Tigers would have lost in a walkoff. Actually, early and mid season Tigs.

I don’t think thats right.  The trailing runner was the batter and he picked up his sign from the 1st base coach.   If was going to pick up any sign from Cora it would’ve been stop at second.

this team. this team.

[Tigermojo]

A. J. I'm going to have you go ahead and walk Witt Jr. mmmmkay

[RatkoVarda]

Cora's mistake, I suspect because he assumed Tork would stop on his own but Tork was flying

[IdahoBert]

This game is simply epic. I will admit I kind of faltered in my faith after that grand slam. But our team did not.

11 games left. Twins ahead 2 games in the loss column.  We need to pick up 3 more games on them. They have 3 more in Cleveland, 3 in Boston and 3 at home w/Miami and finish with 3 at home against Baltimore. If I were a gambler, I would take the Tigers.

Witt is gonna be a problem for years. He looks like a KC lifer.

[IdahoBert]

These guys just know how to cobble together surprising victories. They’re almost like pickpockets you can respect.

Baltimore could be a problem. If 1st place is out of reach for the Birds by that last series they might just rest their pitching.

Last 6 at home should be good for Det but they haven't actually been any better at home this season.

A career best start by Mize would be nice.

But the Orioles have the ability to score runs with that offense. And with the extra playoff teams, they may still be playing for seeding. And...the Twins pitching is really struggling. They may only win 3 more games or so. 82-80.

If this team comes home within 2 games of a playoff spot, Comerica Park will be rocking. Just like the good old days.

I don't much like the matchup for Mize. Casey needs his best FB -  breaking balls don't fool KC much, hardest team to K in the AL.
