While I'm simply enjoying the ride, I'm not going to lie.

I did prefer Houston over Baltimore. Even though Baltimore is on the ropes right now as well.

This is why it was so crucial to clinch last Friday. Gave them the opportunity to pitch Skubal in game one and see what could happen.

This is great that they are playing without high expectations or pressure...and with only one true star on the team. You can pull out all the stops when you feel you have nothing to lose. Stay loose, have fun and keep going boys🤟.

Tork should have got the out at home. Matt Vierling double clutching like a chud also cost a run. He settled down, but his defense let him down, he should be fine...hopefully.

Yeah he gave up 3 infield hits that werent even hit hard. He ended up in a shitty spot but I would hardly say it was fully on Jobe.

Also with not having a good angle for the throw to the plate, I was kinda surprised Vierling didnt just let that Altuve foul ball drop. I know an out is an out but he didnt have much of a chance at making the throw

Altuve is a much bigger threat if you give him the second chance at life in a high leverage playoff moment with the bases loaded, no outs, against a rookie in his third appearance at the MLB.

I think you gladly accept the one run scoring instead of a bases clearing double.

Vierling's body language looked like he was surprised that someone decided to test his arm when it wasn't really that long of a fly ball, but he couldn't really get around the ball so you see that drifting shuffle and late realization that he's got a play.

Most people were in your boat.

Houston, with all their talent advantages, had nearly the same record as Detroit. They had to lose at some point.

My line of thinking was more that we just played Baltimore twice and I thought their offense was picking it back up. Whoops.

this Tigers offense is so awful

It's not awful, but it is middling. And they've faced some damn good pitching the past 14 innings. It's not like they're failing to score against.... bulk relievers or something lol.

My love/hate relationship with the internet is so abusive, man.

Can't really act like I've been a fan or even a bandwagon fan but that's f'n funny.
 
We're in good shape, let's just get it done tomorrow so Skubal is fresh for another round.

I was reading that if they win game 4, the next series will start with Skubal on full rest with a chance to actually play 3 games if it came down to it. Just win game 4 and get the arms rested up, don't go back to that shithole state of Ohio and play a winner takes all game
