American League Division Series Game #5 (2-2) 1:08PM 10/12/24

[gehringer_2]

Riley having a rough series.

[Tigermojo]

Just let Skubal do all the work.

[Jim Cowan]

Whew 

[SoCalTiger]

Superman Skub !!

[monkeytargets39]

Re-Sign Skubal for whatever he wants.  Do it.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nice job getting out of that jam. That was so huge. 

[lordstanley]

Skubal was ticked. Scoreless after 3. 

[guy incognito]

Phew.

[chasfh]

Riley owes Skubal dinner every night for the rest of the year for pulling his ass out of the jackpot.

He is anyway, let's put him into hit too.

[monkeytargets39]

We are scoring this inning.  They blew their big chance.  Time to go for the demoralizer.

Aight, if you insist.

[gehringer_2]

Dirks is spot on, Tigers have been overswinging the whole series against CLE.

It's maybe the biggest challenge for young baseball players. Any athlete feels like they have to raise their game in a playoff, but in baseball trying to raise you game is almost always a recipe for failure, you have to play within what you have always done.

Just throwing Perez fastballs right down the middle.

[romad1]

So many young abs 

[Tigermojo]

Hit the damn ball

[MichiganCardinal]

Tork looks completely and utterly lost. I'd prefer him bat with two outs and no one on because at least he's not killing a rally.

still had the best AB of the inning. Tork always seems to do the best when we are dissing him here. Let's keep it up!

and he chased Smith.

This is now the second most pitches Smith has thrown this season.

A real #1 pick would have hit it out.

How's that? 😆

TORKELSON!!!!!!!!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Tork 2-bagger, Smith is out.
