Tigers are looking very much back after that midseason slump

Tigers are looking very much back after that midseason slump

Yes, been rolling along pretty good. Division lead up to 10.5, and a 5.5 game lead for one of the byes.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

For anyone wanting to risk $16 to make $1, Tarik Skubal is now -1600 to win the Cy Young.

 

[Da Guru]

Don`t buy them playoff tickets yet!

Chief Wahoo`s boys winning 11 out of 12 and only 3.5 back

It's painful to watch this team.

It's painful to watch this team.

I had to stop watching, as you said it's too painful. Thankfully it is now football season in all it's forms, helps to wash baseball out of my mind. And I'm also looking forward to the Pistons later this year, fun team to watch.

@FishTacoTuesday can we get the thread title updated to reflect the biggest collapse in mlb history?

 

[Da Guru]

I look at the lineup from top to bottom, and then the pitching staff. It is terrible, how they ever jumped out to that big a lead is a minor miracle to begin with.

Have to hand it to Cleveland, they are 17-3 the last 20 games with a lineup that does not look much better. If Tigers get a couple wins they can still back into the playoffs as Astros keep losing but that would be a joke!

 

[msudaisy26]

And there are countless examples of going all in that don't work out either

John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander is a pretty good example.

As a Cubs homer I can relate: Dylan Cease for Jose Quintana and Josh Donaldson for Rich Harden. Both trades were made because the Cubs needed one solid starter down the stretch, and mortgaged the future as a result.

But hey they "tried". I guess some are awarding gold stars for trying but failing.

What do they get for not trying and failing?

 

[msudaisy26]

At least they are finally showing some life. I still don't think they win a playoff series and their trade deadline line was awful, but hopefully I am wrong.

 

[Da Guru]

We.. the bullpen blew another one. Boston had Chapman throwing 100MPH and Tigers put Kahne in with his 80MPH changeup.

Bad throw on the SB attempt was a killer.

 

[Da Guru]

Tigers are in the Playoffs!!

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Tigers holding Skubal till Tuesday game one, was scheduled to go today.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Go gettem Tigers.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Good series win by the Tigers.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Seattle will be the obvious favorite for the best of 5 series starting Saturday. Projected tiger starters imo:

Saturday: TBA/chaos
Sunday: Skubal
Tuesday: Mize
Wednesday: Flaherty
Friday: Skubal

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Big win for the Tigers vs Seattle. Knew it would be tough but they came through. Sets up an even bigger game tonight with Skubal on the mound.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Bizarre stat of the month: It's been a month since Tigers won a home game. I guess they are due?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Well now it's a night game, 7:38 start.

 

[Zeppelin]

Well now it's a night game, 7:38 start.

700pm, it's starting right now.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Big win for the cats. Offense finally woke, now do it for Skubal.

Big win for the cats. Offense finally woke, now do it for Skubal.

Hopefully the offense continues this Friday. Melton was great again and Baez had been their best player since the playoffs started.

 

[msudaisy26]

What could have been. Do anything at the deadline besides dumpster dive and this team is in the ALCS with a real shot to make a world series.

 

[fabian]

It was a good series. A shame one team had to lose.

MLB rumors: Tarik Skubal, Tigers have enormous gap in extension talks, Phillies likely to move on from veteran

The 2025 MLB playoffs are ongoing, but that hasn't stopped the hot stove rumors from starting

Tigers offered Skubal four years for less than 100 million. What a joke. I am surprised he didn’t demand a trade.

That's downright embarrassing.

If Tigers don’t resign Skubal and the Pistons don’t extend Duran I’m done with both.
I don’t have enough time left to invest in teams that aren’t serious about winning.

Skubal I get, but Jalen Duren isn't close to good enough to ditch a team over.

He’s very young, steady improvement and very athletic.
He’s a player you continue to develop and build around.
You don’t let a Boston or LA team steal him.
That’s the way I look at it. They committed to Beef Stew who I think is a lesser talent.

Yeah, but you don't extend guys like Duren, you draft a replacement. Beef stew was a mistake, don't compound it with Duren. The Lakers and Celtics can only sign him with a sign and trade they have no cap.
