Sucks the tigers won't have a home playoff game in the wildcard series.

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.

That was the coolest game of football I've ever watched

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

Sure made it spicy there at the end, but oh hell yeah, a Tigers playoff win in 2024? Pffff, awesome, it's all gravy from here on out, but let's go, win this thing boys!

Brass-balls Brieske gets the job done. Loved the decision not to ride Foley out. Goddam did they make me sweat!

 

[newfy]

It wouldnt be the tigers in the playoffs if the pen doesnt make you sweat
