Me either, you would think a day off in Toronto where they play on turf would make more sense. Not doubting he has been playing through pain, though!!

exactly, in fact didn't he tweak stuff last year when they played in Toronto, it makes no sense. I think he's not 100% might want to just give him the rest of the road trip off and not f around with this again.

I guess their average pitchers are just too good for the tiger offense. Cy youngs and 13 game winners still not enough to overcome the looks ok on paper tigers offense, it's really sad. this is very depressing.

This is what we have to look forward to in the playoffs, our batting order cannot hit good pitching adn good pitching is all we'll see iin October. Our pitchers will need to be nearly perfect for us to win.

We hit good pitching all the time. It's mediocre pitching that makes us look silly, and it's not a new thing either.
