ALDS Game #5 Detroit @ Cleveland, Saturday October 12th, 2024

[Mitchrapp]

Overall I feel like this team put up a better fight than the playoff teams from a decade ago. I’m I wrong? They got something to build on here future should be bright

The Youth is exciting.

Definitely need a couple all star type bats. Guys that aren't platoon types. Also need guys to hit with risp. Not just slap a few singles with 2 outs. Outside of Carp, I don't feel good about anyone coming up in a big spot.

I'm also hoping they add a front line starter to follow skubal and I wouldn't hate taking a chance with Verlander if they can get him for 10m or under.

Tarik Skubal on the next few days: "It'll suck, and it should suck, but this is only gonna make me strive to become a better version of myself. In the days in the offseason that get a little grueling ... I'll just make sure to remind myself of this feeling I have right now."

Kerry Carpenter on what the Tigers proved this season: "I think we’re here to stay. We have a bunch of young guys and a bunch of people who want to get better ... I think we put the world on notice that we can do big things in this clubhouse with these guys."

Stats prove Tigers were devastatingly unlucky in playoff-ending loss to Guardians

The Detroit Tigers season-ending loss to the Guardians wasn't just heartbreaking, it was incredibly unlucky once you take a closer look.

Thanks Ron. Appreciate the articles. Series turned when Bo missed his spot to the
rhb on a 2-2 count. After reading that article it did feel like the tigers were a tad unlucky.

Nothing to be ashamed of, they went further than anyone expected.
Let's get a couple of bats and another starter.

very true, way better ending than I thought was possible. I would say they need two starters but I wouldn't go with any long contracts or high end deals.

Main points from Scott Harris at the Tigers’ end-of-season presser— RH bat is an area of need— Tigers expect Javier Báez to have a role next year. He should participate in ST, unclear if he will be fully healthy by opening day— No comment on possible contract extensions.

Tigers want Kenta Maeda to make some changes to his off-season program so he comes to spring training ready, but there is absolutely a place for him on 2025 roster, Harris said. No thought of cutting ties.

I sure hope they are lying about Baez having a role next year. His only role should be looking for another job.

3 years left on contract. Organizations don't like to just throw money away. I hope at the very least he's given a short leash.

they are throwing away money if he is on the field as well. He is terrible. They have to pay him regardless. You either pay him and take up a roster spot, or pay him to leave and give the spot to someone that is better. The second option makes the team better. The first option makes the team worse.

No argument there but those guys think different than us fans. They think everyone can contribute or improve.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The playoffs are now over for the Detroit Tigers. But the memories of both series against the Astros and Guardians live on.
And as such, let’s think back to the best moments of these games.
We marvel at how so many Tigers contributed key at-bats, impressive pitching and defensive gems. There was literally a new hero every game.
Which brings us to the mighty challenge for TT readers.
It’s a challenge that’s meant to be tough. That’s what makes this fun!
If you had to pick one – just one as Lay’s tells us – which Tiger would get your MVP vote for both sets of playoff games?
Which Tiger gets your vote for MVP of both playoff series?

1. Beau Brieske

2. Kerry Carpenter

3. Andy Ibanez

4. Parker Meadows

5. Tarik Skubal

6. Trey Sweeney

7. Will Vest

8. Matt Vierling

It came down to Meadows and Skubal for me. The Grand Slam given up in game 5 was the tiebreaker. Meadows it is.
