Detroit Tigers

They needed at least one in Baltimore to really keep their chances alive. Now, if they can get two, that's gravy.

And the White Sox have matched the Tigers' greatest indignity. It seems almost assured that they will even pass up the Mets for futility in the modern era.

Yesterday got nuts. Thought it was over once the O's tied it and loaded up the bases. Tigers did not choke. We are Giants and Red Sox fans today...they have a double header against the twins. If all goes right today we could be up convincingly with a grip on that wild card....

I'm still puzzled by the pitching moves in the ninth. On the broadcast it is reported that Holton is warming up. They somehow let Foley pitch to Gunnar Henderson, he knocks in two guys. Hinch comes out and when they come back in there, Brieske is on the mound and he is facing 3 lefties, they can't intentionally walk the first batter because Brieske might walk in the winning run. Somehow Brieske gets the last 6 outs. He has been getting better as the year goes on, but I'm pulling my hair out during those last two innings.

I'm not sure if Hinch was trying to save Holton or if he was going on his gut with Brieske.

I saw an interview by Hinch how he handles the pitching.
He is really micro managing the games.
He is kind of like Campbell is always talking about matchups.
If a batter is weak at hitting high fast balls he’ll bring in a pitcher who’s strength is throwing high heat.
It goes way above the righty lefty thing.

It sounds like they were trying to save Holton for the start today. It worked.

They are a 1/2 game back with the KC Royals (7 straight losses) and are a 1/2 game up in the Twins who play their second game today at 5:40.

Parker Meadows saved the game today taking away a 2 run dinger.

Yoga win another

Royals lose, so the Tigers are now tied with them (I dunno what the tiebreakers there are).

We could potentially have a three-way tie by the end of the night.

[wcfwtf]

Tigers need to be above both I believe

Tigers need to be above both I believe

They really just need to be above one. There's three teams fighting for two spots.

Twins are about to lose doubleheader game 2.

GO TIGERS!

[froot loops]

Twins down 9-2 to the Boston Red Sox in the 7th

[wcfwtf]

Yeah above 1 but if they all have the SAME record then they are odd man out.
I was responding to comment that all 3 could end up with same record

[DanO]

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
