The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

[SportsingHard]

Hard to feel confident in the Tigers with that dreadful month of September they had, and 1-5 against Cleveland during that stretch hardly instills confidence in a 2/3 series in Cleveland. Hoping for the best.

Last team to ended the season 3-13 and still made the playoffs was the 2000 world champion Yankees. 2025 Tigers team of destiny!

I'd love nothing more than to beat the Guardians and end their season after the amount of heartache those punks have brought to the Tigers the past two seasons.

Season is over, so they’ll hopefully (for your sake & theirs) flush the past month and start fresh. What happened the previous 162 games now is meaningless. It’s anyone’s game.

This is what we keep telling ourselves lol

Let Skubal go til he can't. DON'T pitch to Ramirez, ever.

Win game 1, GO TIGERS!

Also, tell MLB they can play games at the same time, 1PM sucks.

All of this. Ramirez is such a talented player. Doesn't get his due around the league, IMO. It's him and Kwan...total PITAs. Kwan gets on, Ramirez hits him home, wash rinse repeat.

MLB is a joke with these 1pm weekday games for the postseason. Drives me crazy. Who cares if games have their own time slot if nobody can watch?

Could not agree more. I believe all 3 games (if necessary) are at the 1 pm timeslot. That's garbage.
Attendance hopefully will not suffer as I appreciate the home field for all 3. Something tells me we will need the crowd in it throughout as I have mad respect for the Tigers.

For the love of God I've never seen a team hit the ball with weaker contact and get fucking rewarded for it. Fuck the Guardians.

Sorry irishnd31, it's maddening.

I've watched it all year. Hell, the past few years.
We score in bunches when the ball doesn't leave the infield.

Defies logic and it's infuriating. Same shit happened Skub's last start against ya'll

 

[slick7410]

Last series they got 3 runs in an inning - without it leaving the infield. Luckily only 1 this time.

It's the worst offense in the American league for a reason. Makes the late season run even crazier.

Hang in there my brother. We got us a ball game tho. Love how they tried bunting down the first base line the very next pitch....My Guardians are really trying to piss you off. LMAO

I actually respected the cojones of both players attempting to bunt off of Skub after what happened to Fry.

It's all love my man, just a lot of pent up Guardian frustration, you guys have had our number haha. It makes thsoe kinds of breaks even tougher to take

Nothing but love my friend! Good luck.☘️

Tigers safety squeezing the Guardians. Taking a page out of our playbook.

 

[slick7410]

5 Sacrifice bunts in 162 games : 2 in the first playoff game. Playoff baseball different, but didn't work.

1 - run game and of course Ramirez leads the inning off.

 

[irishnd31]

Guardians infield hit. in 9th.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

crazy game. Good news, Tigs won. Bad news, can't pitch Skub the next two

 

[GATTACA!]

Despicable not being able to get a guy in from 3rd with no outs. Our offense is straight up ass.

 

[T-Boone]

Yankees must look at the Red Sox line up without Ortiz in it and breath a sigh of relief.

Yeah, Ramirez is a wizard on the base pads. Wizard he was not on that little nubber to the pitcher

Nice win my dude. See you tomorrow

I have so much respect for Kwan. Hes a vacuum cleaner in LF and a PITA to get out. Mize better have his A game or we will be seeing each other on Thursday

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Back end of the Sox pen is just too good. Even when they're backed up against a wall, Chapman figured it out.

 

[Irish#1]

Boone can’t be fired fast enough for me. Should have stayed with Fried one more inning. Then goes with Weaver who is terrible. He also changed the lineup that had won 9 out of the last 11. Brilliant!

 

[Irish2155]

I can’t believe that Boone pulled Fried after 6.1 innings and no runner was even on base. 🤷‍♂️

Crochet’s last pitch (100 mph, in, at the knees) was a dart.

Like Big Game James and L Riley, keep Boone into eternity. Go Sox!

 

[T-Boone]

I think the Yankees beat up average pitchers but struggle against good pitchers. They really aren’t built for 3 game series in the post season. Do the RS’s have any good starters from here?

Game 3 (if needed) the Sox would throw a rookie making his fifth career start/appearance. Only has 19.1 big league innings. Connelly Early is his name.

Brayan Bello is ok, not great. 11-9 with a 3.35 era. He’ll be pitching tomorrow.
