AI-generated Howard?  He already sounded a bit like a robot.

Selfishly, I’ll be stuck at work and getting updates from my phone.  But really sucks for kids who will be in class for at least the first hour of each game.

I'm old enough to remember all World Series games being daytime affairs. No playoffs, win your league and advance, none of this division hooey. Thankfully someone always managed to sneak a transistor radio into class. Occasionally a teacher would bring a TV into class and declare a "reading period".

An absolute must read piece on Skubal and his family by Stavanhagen. Pieces like this make the subscription worth the price.

My high school history teacher brought at TV into history class for the 1984 Tigers world series run. He simply said: "History is in the making", turned on the TV, and sat down to watch with us.

That flavor was Bourbon.

Please don't say Joe Buck and the ghost of Tim McCarver? is it Joe Buck?

Michael Kay

I'm looking at a tape delay situation. It is going to be tough to drop a leave slip the next 2-3 days.

[monkeytargets39]

Good news- my aunt has very mild covid, so since you all post here- that counts as close contact with me and that means you need to stay home from work to isolate the next 72 hours

Yep.  Michael Kay, Todd Frazier, and Tim Kurkjian for all 3 games.  

[RandyMarsh]

Ironic that Kay is doing a Skubal start when 2 years ago he went off on the Yankees for getting shutout by this "nobody" in Tarik Skubal.

He caught a lot of heat for that on social media cause while Skubal wasn't proven yet in the majors he was arguably the top left handed pitching prospect in baseball a year or 2 prior. If that would've been a Yankee he would've been looked as a big deal just based off his prospect pedigree and not a "nobody".

Are you serious?  Todd Frazier?  Holy nauseating jockspeak.

No Maeda or Montero on the playoff roster.

Hard to find conflict with this.

[ben9753]

Mildly surprised about Montero. Would take him over Mize right now.

[romad1]

LEAVING VERLANDER OFF THE PLAYOFF ROSTER WAS DISRESPEKT TO THE TIGERS!!!!!

Maeda was not very much in doubt. Montero has certainly been trending in the wrong direction. I suppose in the end, when in doubt, go with Velo - which of the guys on the bubble would be Mize.

[Tigermojo]

It will be Olson and Hurter getting bulk innings anyway. Montero could be in for longer rounds. If Mize is in a game, things are probably not going as planned.
