Tigers are frustrating this year. With their talent (and payroll) they should’ve finished the season with 110 wins. Tonight’s game is lookong good, so far, but I was surprised to see the Indians only 4 games back.
On the other hand, it’s really cool to be able to pull a relief pitcher out of the hat in the 8th inning and have his first 3 pitches clocked at 101, 100, and 101 mph
Big mistake not sitting him with the hip flexor problem back in July. Nobody picked up the slack to give him rest...not only that, they're just too inconsistent all around, especially with the one problem they've had for years...plate discipline.
Also..."TEAMS" tend to win championships...having an MVP, Cy Young, etc. means nothing...if the supporting cast are less than average ballplayers.
Then there's Leyland...
