Detroit Tigers (66-93) at Seattle Mariners (87-71)

The way these guys are playing gives me hope. I sincerely hate disliking this team. These guys are like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance and they’re really rising to the occasion. They are the D word, baby!

What was Jim Bouton’s quote on Ray Oyler? He always looked like he had just finished a ring job on his car.

I love seeing pictures I’ve never seen before from big days I’ve replayed a thousand times.

if every pitcher threw 85 mph meatballs to Tork, he would be OK

Cut Baddoo NOW

 

j/k

[sabretooth]

Baddoo, dude....

[gehringer_2]

yeah  - it was dumb,  but he has also scored 15 runs in his last 16 games. There are no perfect players - esp on bad teams.

[sabretooth]

Actually the "cut Baddoo" post was after he got the double and before he was picked off, I was being totally sarcastic.

LOL - timing is everything!

[gehringer_2]

Victor triples his HR total in three games! Not many players can do that in October!

[gehringer_2]

Torkelson so excited about his night at the plate he forgot to catch the ball.

[lordstanley]

With KC losing in the 7th in Cleveland, if the Tigers hang on for the win they will avoid last place.

Lofty goals.

[sabretooth]

Chafin is amazing....I really hope he sticks around

[Tenacious D]

That 10th inning was a microcosm of our offensive performance this year.  The backup C faces 5 Tigers and doesn’t give up a hit or walk.

[gehringer_2]

can we trade Soto for Torrens even up?

[gehringer_2]

Does anyone want Soto on the 40 even as much as Garcia?

Pretty embarrassing turn of events if we lose this one this way.

[chasfh]

This game has been Sotoed. 

[gehringer_2]

We are at the point with Soto where it's like we were tith KRod. You know every time he goes out there that he's on borrowed time because his arsenal is basically the FB, period, and no matter how often he escapes, he remains fixed at the edge of disaster just waiting to fall the rest of the way off.

He may be Fetter's big failure of this season. He's had all year to rediscover the lost off speed pitch and it hasn't happened.

So, their backup catcher gets the win.  Our All-Star closer with the loss.

[RatkoVarda]

Ms just concede game to Tigers, and Soto politely says, no you can have it

[SoCalTiger]

Please tell me Hinch and Harris know Soto isn't actually good.
