Single by vierling scores Meadows 8-0.
Sac Fly by Carpenter scores Greene 9-0.
Ibanez 2 rbi single. 11-0.

 

[biggunsbob]

I think I heard on the radio broadcast that Ibanez was a late replacement at first base for Spencer. I Didn’t hear why.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney average up to .241.
Meadows is up to .235.
Jung is hitting .226.

Five of the Seven walks were from these three guys.

Who had Montero for the complete game 3 hit shutout !
Drop his era from 5.47 to 4.88 !
Nice job young man !

Tigers win 11-0 !

 

[lonesometiger]

I;ll take 96 for the win

 

[biggunsbob]

Kc up 4-0 late over The yanks .
Minnesota was up 6-0 now it is 6-4 in the sixth against LAA.
Sigh. 8-4 now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Youngest Tiger since 2016 Michael Fulmer to have a complete game shutout.
First Tiger with a complete game shutout under 100 pitches (96) since David Price in 2015.

Good win!@#

Why would it show the redsox above detroit in the wildcard hunt with both clubs having the same record?

Detroit won the season series w/ boston 4-3.

I see Reese Olson had a good rehab start in Toledo today. 3 innings, 1 hit, 5 K, 1 BB, 0 ER.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY

It is September and the Detroit Tigers are playing meaningful baseball. Yes, you heard that right. Since July 1st, they have won 10 more games than lost, tied with the Astros for the best record in…

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

It is September and the Detroit Tigers are playing meaningful baseball.
Yes, you heard that right.
Since July 1st, they have won 10 more games than lost, tied with the Astros for the best record in the AL.
Believe it or not, they are 3 games out of the final AL wild card spot (through Monday’s games). All of this despite having their best players on the IL and a starting rotation with only 1 remaining veteran on it and a move to an opener/bulk pitching strategy.

There are 18 games left in the season and the Tigers have 1 of the easiest remaining schedules. They still need to play the Orioles, Rays, Royals, White Sox and Rockies. It will take a combination of winning many games and hoping that the Twins and possibly the Royals will perform poorly.

Of note is that both Reese Olson and Wenceel Perez are expected back from the IL very soon.
Also for your consideration, the Tigers have the tiebreaker advantage over Boston and Seattle but not the Twins or Royals.

Will the Tigers make the playoffs? What do you believe will happen?
What do you believe the chances are for the Tigers to make the playoffs?

1. I'm planning to watch them in October.

2. It could go either way.

3. It's not happening this year.

I voted it's not happening this year. I hope I'm wrong, and I am happy that they are at least making it interesting.

I heard on 97.1 fm out of Detroit this morning that the reason Spencer and Dingler didn’t play last night is 14 players have caught a stomach bug the team picked up on the west coast. . Skubal was on the morning radio show and mentioned it.

I agree probably too little too late. Now they are dealing with a club illness ripping through the clubhouse.

 

[kalinecountry]

I agree it is too little too late, but they are making some of these games entertaining.
