oblong Posted Monday at 01:44 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:44 PM Two ways to look at this: Astros have played in 7 straight, at least, ALCS. They are seasoned vets who know how to win and will take charge. Astros have played in 7 straight, at least CLS. They are old and worn out and arrogant and the Tigers will sneak up on them. Of course, that's talk radio analysis. Astros won 88 games, Tigers won 86. It's baseball and anything can happen in a 3 game playoff series. Any team can beat any other team this week. There's no grand conclusions to draw. Our team made it. Enjoy it. Whatever happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted Monday at 02:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:16 PM They are better hitters. Tigers are better pitchers, fielders and base runners. Must win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben9753 Posted Monday at 02:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:20 PM I'm not expecting us to win the series, but then again, I wasn't expecting us to be here in the first place. I look at this roster and it still makes no sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted Monday at 02:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:31 PM (edited) This team seems like it will either continue to overachieve through the playoffs, oblivious to this fact, or they will turn into a pumpkin and crash to earth. I’ll take the former, but regardless of the outcome, this experience should be transformative in accelerating their development. Building a winning and cohesive culture is an intangible that I think will pay huge dividends next year and beyond.

1776 Posted Monday at 02:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:35 PM Toward the latter part of Friday night’s game vs the White Sox, Hinch had his arms around George Lombard’s shoulders and was having, more or less, a one way conversation with him as they both faced the field in the dugout. I would love to know what Hinch was saying then. I’m guessing it would be a conversation about real time strategy but have no idea. Has this instance been reported on in the media blitz around that game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted Monday at 02:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:42 PM So, if comparing the situation...we are going to be able to play all the games in Houston vs. having rain delays hell against Baltimore. I don't know who that would have helped but it would have sucked to watch as a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted Monday at 03:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:01 PM This is an obvious must win game if we want to advance. We're playing with house money at this point, so I am just happy and surprised as hell that we're even here. This team needs to get refocused though and back into whatever frame of mind they've been in over the last two months, minus the last two games of the season.

lordstanley Posted Monday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:43 PM Two wins separating the Tigers from an ALDS matchup with the Guardians. Which would be neat as Cleveland and Detroit have rarely been in contention at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to get an actual rivalry with those guys because Cleveland has always been the closest team to us, and yet we have never been rivals because we have never fought for pennants against each other.

tiger2022 Posted Monday at 08:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:22 PM It's almost hard to believe the Astros are -145 on the betting line. Typically, those lines are based on the SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted Monday at 09:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:11 PM When do the teams have to set their rosters? Think Hinch will go with 11 or 12 pitchers? We have roster room for a pinch runner, Baddoo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
