That's what really kills me. We've got great pitching, and our fielding isn't bad either. We just cannot seem to provide that great defense with run support. When we went 5-0 at the start of the season, every single one of those games was decided either by a single run or in extra innings. I predicted that we wouldn't be able to sustain winning in that fashion, and I was right. If our pitching was slightly worse, we'd be in the basement with the White Sox right now. It's definitely possible that we'll get some great bats in the next few years and start wrecking shop, but I can't shake the feeling that we're just going to waste all of this elite pitching. So it goes.
This is I agree with. Go Tigers! (we're gonna score 2 runs against the dbacks later after smashing them 13-0)
I thought about making a post about last night's thumping, but decided against it because we still have two more games to play in Arizona. Blowing the Diamondbacks out by 13 runs and going on to drop the series would be a very Tigers thing to do.
Indeed. I am most pleased. When I saw that Javier Báez was hitting the ball consistently, I thought that the world was ending. Whatever this newfound power is, I hope it sticks around.
Update: What the fuck, man?
I haven't paid attention to my baseball team in a while. I wonder how they're doing.
...
We beat the Dodgers in a series? How the fuck did we manage that?

I watch White Sox highlights because I want to see them go below the expansion-era (if I remember correctly) 120-loss Mets team based on the sheer lack of good players that they currently have. Benintendi and Robert are fine players, not sure what on earth happened to them this year. Crochet pitching well is nice to see, but the rest of that pitching staff (looking at you, Chris Flexen) is horrendous.
They are, for all their faults, at least bad in a funny way. I hope they break the record. The Mets deserve one good thing in this world.
The Tigers clinched a playoff spot! We actually did it! The meme is real! Detroit has two good sports teams at once!
the world is ending, how has this happened?
31-11 in their past 42. Legitimately unreal.
We swept the Astros! We're going to the fucking ALDS! Unbelievable!
look what happens when there's no trashcans involved
Three of the final four in the AL are Central teams. What a time to be alive.
I don't want to root against your team in a situation where we're not division rivals, but I do want the Mets to continue being the NL's ultimate meme team, so I'm really torn going into this game three.
Well, what do you know? Looks like you can bet on the New York Mets.
Game five of Tigers/Guardians has been moved to one in the afternoon because of weather concerns. I am going to miss the most important Tigers game of the past decade because they're afraid of rain.
How is this still a thing that happens? Put fucking retractable roofs on your stadiums already! This scheduling nonsense is a big reason why the MLB falls further behind the NBA and NFL every year.
