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.

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

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.  

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

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".

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

 

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.

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.

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.
