The wings shoulda just made the playoffs last year, the sports in Detroit would be all the way back. Tigers are going to be a tough out. I wouldnt want to be playing against Skubal with the Tigers bull pen in a short series
I know they got Sweeney+ out of it but imagine if they still had Flaherty.

Their era as a team actually improved after he was traded pitching with bullpen days. So its wild to think about how good he was that they actually improved when he left, but having an actual player at short ended up much better for this team than a stud pitcher

They needed to get a shortstop so they could operate. Would be nice to have Flaherty, but getting Sweeney turned out to be an absolute necessity. He's got 1.1 WAR in Detroit already. So like a 5 WAR player over the course of a whole year.

Nice work, Lions. Glad to see those damn birds take an L. Now heal up during the bye week and keep it going.

I wasnt too happy about the week 5 bye at the start of the year but honestly they need to get healthy now anyways so it worked out

It wouldnt be the tigers in the playoffs if the pen doesnt make you sweat
Honestly, any bullpen in playoff team in history that didn't have a guy named Rivera will make their fans shit themselves. Today just stirred up dormant feelings that haven't been felt in quite a while.

Detroit to DC to Chicago
Hate these these games are scheduled smack in the middle of the work day. I was holed up in the office, glued to the box score and audio, sweating out the 9th inning hoping no one barged in. Great start for the Tiges, closing it out today would be electric.

I know it's been working out for them this year but i'd be lying if I said that whole 1 starter thing the Tigers are doing doesn't make me nervous for a Playoff run

Too much travel in too short a period of time for a 3-game series.
I'd think that giving the higher seed the first two games and the lower seed the third game (if necessary) would be manageable. But in this case hopefully the Tigers sweep the Astros and it's a moot point.
