Motor City Sonics Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The Tigers are like Fat Albert's band Listen to the music they are making from **** they found in the junkyard. They do have one electric guitar (Tarik Skubal) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Plus the White Sox have to go 6-3 to avoid losing more than the 1962 Mets. So that's a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The best part about this playoff possibility is that we’re charging into it and not backing into it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just improved his OPS on the night. EDIIT: I see this has already been noted.....) We were talking earlier in the day about guys brought up too soon - I'd say Spencer is a worse example than any of the pitchers. He never established good contact skill before he was brought up and when he put some balls in the seats last season nobody cared, but his weaknesses as a hitter were still there. 267 BA since he's come back up is his best stretch of contact since his one decent month (May) last season.

There’s an excellent chance loss 121 takes place in Big Shoulders, and a significantly smaller chance it happens in Detroit. Either way, somebody on this board is gonna be there for it.

papalawrence Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 This has been one of the most unique positive Tigers runs of my lifetime. 1984 35-5 will always be #1, but this run, after selling at the deadline has been a beautiful head scratcher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papalawrence Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I think this run may impact free agency. Perhaps Det won't need to grossly overpay, and Det could emerge as a positive destination. Their run is hopefully/likely just beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAbbott Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Tiger337 said: The Tigers have never had a team like this - one that was not supposed to win and was pretty much out of it half way through the season and the came out of nowhere to be arguably the best team in baseball down the stretch. This is unprecedented. My following the Tigers goes back to 1961. The 1967 squad has always had a soft spot in my heart because it was so so close, yet so far, losing it on the last day of the season. That team was supposed to be pretty good at the beginning of the season though. This team is unprecedented and is rapidly becoming my all-time favorite Tiger team.

IdahoBert Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Mickey York keeps saying that Jung had a “matrix like“ slide, which is encroaching upon Jason‘s territory for cultural references. I had the radio feed on for audio on TV though. Sports Illustrated called it “the coolest slide of the season.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiller did in 1973 (Rolaids started in 1976). It was called the Rolaids Award when Hernandez had his big year, but Quissenberry won the award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The top 2 division winners get a 1st round bye. So, depending where we finish, we may end up playing another wild card team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started in 1967 and that double play finish made 1968 all the sweeter so nothing surpasses that though 1972 1987 1984 and the DD years were great. But this year is super special no matter the outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: lol, and just now he made literally the best catch of his entire life! He's completely the wrong profile, but I would love to see Torkelson go play winter ball. Just work on technique in a zero pressure environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
