JSngry Posted September 10 Author Report Share Posted September 10 The Tigers have oh so quietly snuck up into the outermost fringe of the Wild Card race. Next year might be interesting?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted Sunday at 04:48 AM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:48 AM Brewers are a good team! But what's up with the Tigers? 2.5 out of the WC now? I've had a great time watching them start to gel, but certainly wasn't expecting this at this late date? Sure, Twins have had a rough week or so, but to gain ground you gotta win games... It'll end at some point, but it's fun to watch until it does. Just a bunch of kids having fun, playing hard, and figuring stuff out in real time.

It'll end at some point, but it's fun to watch until it does. Just a bunch of kids having fun, playing hard, and figuring stuff out in real time. As a Yankee fan I’m extremely grateful to them for besting the Orioles in the series that ended today. They’re on track to post their first winning record since Hinch took over. My feelings about the “Trashtro” era aside, he was a great hire for Detroit coming off his suspension. Good to see the Tigers make a WC run… and WCs can even lead to WSs! Also pretty wild that Ohtani seems a good bet (sorry, I couldn’t resist green smiley) to become the first player to hit 50 HRs and steal 50 bases in the same season.

JSngry Posted Monday at 12:10 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 12:10 AM Not expecting a Tigers WC spot (check their remaining schedule...), but am very much enjoying the whole emergence thing. So much more fun for me than the slobbering superstar push notifications that are always hitting my phone There will always be superstar exploits, but how often do you see a whole team of young. more or less home-grown talent pop up out of "nowhere" and play real baseball as a real team? Especially after starting the season with such a dismal performance? Plus - Jason Benetti!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off course he is one of the superstars .... you can bet 😇 .... believe baseball has to uphold a "clean shield", so his story was not helpful in this regard to say the least ....

GA Russell Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM In 1894, Hugh Duffy of the Boston Beaneaters became the first player to get 85 extra-base hits and steal 45 bases in a season. On Sunday, Ohtani became the second.

ghost of miles Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Yankees benefitted two nights in a row from Mariner mishaps involving runners at third. Tuesday night, with bases loaded on a 3-0 count and Yankee starter Luis Gil seemingly unable to find the strike zone, Victor Robles decided to try to steal home: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/745205/video/luis-gil-throws-out-victor-robles-at-home And last night, after Randy Arozarena lost control of his bat while striking out, Julio Rodriguez, apparently not realizing that the ball was still live, got picked off: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/745199/video/ian-hamilton-swinging-strike-to-randy-arozarena-s8yzbu Edited 5 hours ago by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Orioles and Mariners both have been trying their best to fold. Tigers-Orioles series this weekend will be a real test for both teams. In the NL, the Padres continue to play strong. Wouldn't want to bet for or against them, but they are going to be interesting until they aren't. Congrats to the Brewers. More Amy!
