Cards had Pujols, Molina, and a bunch of other big name vets  

Mets had young Tom Seaver, Tug McGraw, and Nolan Ryan. 

64 Cards had young McCarver, Curt Flood, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, oh and Roger Craig.

Yep and we got vest, Andy Ibanez, Parker Meadows and oh yeah Tyler Holton.

 

So same

Yes, this playoff run kind of takes the cake for being unexpected and redefines the word “miracle“ for baseball.

MLB posted the entire top of the 8th inning with DDs call overlayed.

73 Mets World Series run was improbable...they had Seaver, Matlack, Koosman, McGraw and some cook named Staub...and the dying gasps of Willie Mays.  They just found ways to win...

[RandyMarsh]

The Tigers are 79-60 with Riley Greene, 53-36 with Carpenter and a remarkable 56-27 with Meadows. With all three on the roster they played at well above 100 win pace.

 There’s no place like home.

I hadn’t run across that wow thank you so much for posting it. I listened to it on the radio in my car but wow.

In 25 years when people look back on this run they’ll say, “Well, they did have Skubal, Greene, Carpenter, and Meadows.”

So good.

[IdahoBert]

A graphic on ESPN’s coverage of that eighth inning said that in 47 straight playoff games with a lead in the eighth inning the Astros had won every single game. That streak came to an end today. 

[Edman85]

Good news. No Costas next round. Yankees and Royals are stuck either him. Brian Anderson and Jeff Francoeur. Good crew.

Had a Dr. appointment at 1:30 pacific so had to listen to the radio broadcast on my phone. Left this page open on my desktop and when I got home it said 200+ messages unread. All caught up now.

And just like rookie Datsyuk and the '02 Wings, when looking back and counting up the personal and team accolades in the career of Jackson Jobe, people will say "oh yeah, almost forgot, at the very beginning of his career he was a part of that title-winning '24 team as well".

So it wasn't just my speakers. There's a serious clipping in the audio when Dan gets loud.

Methinks 97.1 The Ticket needs to get him a new mic or otherwise upgrade its equipment in the booth.

The kids love him.

I bet there never has been a playoff win without a single pitcher going 2 innings.  Probably not a loss either.  This has to be the first.  What a brilliant strategy.  This is going to revolutionize the game.

Also, considering the Tigers had a 0.2 chance of making the playoffs.  That is the equivalent of a once-in-a-500 year event.  Winning the wildcard round, sweeping the wildcard round, makes that what, an once-in-an-800 year event?  I think Fangraphs had their odds a little understated, but jeez, wow.

Scott Harris inviting Tram to be a part of this is a class act.  Proud to be a Tiger fan.

Typical Tram, low key and deflecting credit to others. Tram worked with these guys a lot and deserves a lot of the credit for their development.

Since they were in Houston it's an Astros issue. The home team usually provides an equipped broadcast booth. More like an uplink problem. 
I'm a dinosaur, used to broadcast dial ups, I'm assuming there could be some sort of an internet style link as well these days.

I remember, in the old days, I assumed we were all seeing the game at the same time. Figured maybe a 5-second delay or so from people in the ballpark. I'd bring my radio to the game and it would be described exactly the same time I was seeing it. 

Now? My tv feed was 20 seconds behind the MLB At Bat radio feed. The MLB app was showing pitch results about 2 seconds before I heard the radio feed. The Canadian TV stations were showing the ABC feed about 5 seconds before my ABC station was. Sirius XM in my car or via my ios app is a good one minute behind the TV broadcast feed.

My YouTube TV is always 2 pitches behind the MLB at bat app. Sometimes, when I get really nervous, I'll check it to see what's gonna happen. Yeah, I cheat....lol

I still kind of can’t believe they won.  I left Comerica Park on Sunday thinking that was it. I figured Houston’s experience would win out, and it almost did. That’s playoff baseball.  One play in each game is the difference.  This team is so much more fun to watch than what we had. Even the good old days.  It is easier to accept a 25 year old in his second year striking out than a 35 year old making $18 million. The drama of these games cannot be undersold. This series validated these guys. They didn’t back into the playoffs. They won their games.  They weren’t a “just happy to be here” team that to lucky.  They beat an org that was a playoff institution and won their own division and more games than the Tigers.  The wins weren’t flukes. They grinded out the wins the same way Houston would have had they won the games.  You don’t mash your way to wins. You beat throws. You make the routine plays and catches and get the random hit with a guy on base.  You get the key DP.  
 

LFG.

It could also be that when whoever it is on the local end does the sound checks, Dan doesn't give them a fair offering of what he might actually do in terms of input level - OTOH - a producer he has worked with much would know to leave a little more headroom or up the compression.
