He is probably doing a exclusive interview right now and calling it the revenge game of the ages.

Tyler has been used mostly as the long guy after an opener but this will be his second consecutive start. OPS platoon split is 818/748 so he's not exactly shutting down LH hitters. Tigers should be able to put up some runs.

Counterpoint: sweeps are hard, and Thursday day games are weird.

A sweep of Colorado 2 weeks ago seemed a sure thing with Skubal on the mound.

I thought Paintin' Manning was the painter? 🤣🤣

Don't look now but the WSox are hot. 5-5 in their last 10. Probably their best stretch of the season. Rut-oh.

[oblong]

They got the monkey off their back!

They're loose now.

They're building for next year.

They're coming together for Grady Sizemore.

I think a win today would eliminate Seattle from taking our spot in the playoffs? I think we have the tiebreaker against them and the best they could do is match our win total at 85, if we win. I'm not sure about their elimination number against KC or the Twins.

Oh man, I love that commercial so much. I laugh every time, and my wife just looks at me like I've lost my mind.

My favorite is the big bad football players eating the Haribo candy.

Right. Back in August not only were the Tigers so far back of Minnesota and K.C. but there were a bunch of other teams ahead of them. Seattle, Boston, Tampa, even Texas and Toronto. Now all irrelevant or in Seattle’s case about to be.

Who woulda ever guessed it? Especially after we traded Flaherty? This rapid turnaround is nothing short of amazing. Biggest story in 2024 sports.

I kind of like Parker Meadows leading off. Is Hinch hoping that he’ll get a double and Ibanez or Perez will knock him in?
