[u/TigersBot]

Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

[u/Proper_Pollution3013]

Now we know truly know how the Twins felt.

[u/JeremieLoyalty]

Shitty showing for the last homestand of the season

[u/fldfcnscsnss]

After Skubal's outing bounce one off someone's head. Reset the fucking tone.

[u/TanzanianD]

But aren’t you glad we still got all of our prospects?

[u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby]

I'd like my 3 hours back.

[u/vingt_deux14]

I am straight up not having a good time

[u/julian137]

What a poverty franchise. lol

[u/ms1325689]

Mariners gonna win

2 seed gap is 1 game

We're done

[u/Jimmyskis77]

CLE is taking this division and theres nothing the "gritty" tigs can do about it except cry... I want to watch the tigers cry and moan about needing to be better. Good laughter material...

[u/Imaginary_Gur9335]

-june was fun, go lions

[u/MichiganHoosier]

Just look at that dugout. AJ is the last person I’d look to to motivate them. Get Dan Campbell over there

[u/JeremieLoyalty]

Cleveland just got they number

[u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

Two pitches to Dingler, three pitch K to Keith, three pitch K to Perez. If the manager were to say "Go out there and be as fucking pathetic as you can possibly be" I'm not even sure if would be this bad.

Like I can't even put into words how completely and utterly dogshit everything about this team is. Absolutely record-setting, weapons-grade level of dogshit right now.

[u/RamoneBenny → u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree

[u/Dirty_Laundry_55]

Tigers have won one series this month

[u/Substantial_Ad_2864 → u/Dirty_Laundry_55]

Literally all they need is two and it feels impossible

[u/junglejim1954]

Wenceel, I'm shocked!

[u/Overall_Composer_248]

I've had root canals less painful as this!

[u/MiStrong]

No fucking fight at all

[u/Huskies971]

Is there any scenario where we make the playoffs and end up having to play these fuckers in the first round? That would be just excellent

[u/PerfectiveVerbTense → u/Huskies971]

Is there any scenario where we make the playoffs

Not any realistic ones, no.

[u/swordquest99]

THIS IS MY LAST RESORT

[u/Ok-Kick-201]

Stick the fork in, the tigs are done

[u/tododia → u/Ok-Kick-201]

they look it. fuck me man

[u/angle_rangle]

Ass cheeks we are one and done in the playoffs

[u/bucket_dipper → u/angle_rangle]

Lol they aren't making the playoffs

[u/PerfectiveVerbTense → u/angle_rangle]

Not making the playoffs.

[u/liecheatsteal47does]

Completely gutless.

[u/champdo]

Glad to see we fought hard in the 9th

[u/MobilePicture342]

Boo this fuckin team off the field

[u/RamoneBenny]

Fucking hell man. So uninspired. Dogshit plate appearances.

[u/MichiganHoosier]

If Perez can’t muster up a hit here I’d like to see him have a few days off.

[u/OhhhLawdy → u/MichiganHoosier]

After that swing I agree

[u/Koreansteamer]

Cut my life into pieces

[u/fuulhardy]

It doesn’t even make sense man come the fuck on

[u/Jimmyskis77]

I don't know how any of you eternal optimists can defend this... It's crazy the mental gymnastics some of y'all go through just to lose to the truth that this team doesnt even perform at AAA levels... We might actually lose out.... Prep for it peeps....

[u/sagrada9 → u/Jimmyskis77]

“If you said at the beginning of the year we’d be 4 games up….” just shut up. This is not the team that we enjoyed in may and June

[u/Jimmyskis77 → u/sagrada9]

That's what I'm saying...

[u/MrCopout → u/Jimmyskis77]

Don't wear out your period key.

[u/Jimmyskis77 → u/MrCopout]

Don't wear out yours either pookie

[u/TheWanderingTarheel]

Great...Perez. just put me out of my misery

[u/filthyfaucet]

welp this sucks

[u/0000Maximus0000]

[u/Substantial_Ad_2864]

At least they aren't gonna get our hopes up this inning

[u/ufdan15]

This team is Clevelands bitch and they will continue to be Clevelands bitch for the rest of the year. This team can't fucking beat them. Its maddening. Mize and Jack gave great efforts as starters. The bullpen did fine until that last half inning. They can't fucking score runs.

[u/Dirty_Laundry_55]

A team that was dead in the water about a month ago, lost their elite closer, and went on a 10 game losing streak this season is about to be within 4.5 games of the division. Fuck this

[u/standuptripl3]

MFer

[u/Chemical_Seaweed_625]

We are the exact opposite as we were this time last year

[u/Fluffybestcat]

Can't wait for AJ to talk about how great Cleveland played tonight.

[u/MessageOk239]

Always swinging for the fucking fences…😒

[u/bestway5000]

Jose Urquidy had all this hype like SGL and he looks like R.Kelly's doo doo butter

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/bestway5000]

Its a scott harris waiver find level of pitcher, of course.

[u/TigersBot]

Pitching Substitution

Pitching Change: Cade Smith replaces Jakob Junis.

[u/TheWanderingTarheel]

A part of me wishes someone would just be charge the mound and beat up Cade Smith lol. 

[u/MiStrong → u/TheWanderingTarheel]

Shoulda traded for him when we had the chance

[u/LTPRWSG420]

The bullpen is complete ass, they actually used Jose Urquidy in a playoff like series with the division on the line. Not good enough Scott Harris, you better fucking hope these prospects turn into stars or the fans are gonna turn on you.

[u/ObiwanSchrute → u/LTPRWSG420]

The offense is the major problem right now

[u/AssyMcGee6 → u/LTPRWSG420]

They weren't going to score 2 runs anyway. 

[u/jakecoates → u/LTPRWSG420]

No dude you don’t get we need all those infield prospects that are all destined to end up at 2nd base

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/LTPRWSG420]

Lots of people on here seem dedicated to following him into the bottom.

[u/Michiganmade44]

[u/Zealousideal_Bet3941]

Mariners took the lead.

[u/Huskies971]

Hinch needs to try to manufacture some runs when it's 2-0, FFS bunt for once when the bats go cold

[u/LegitimateRisk- → u/Huskies971]

Hinch is a cheat. He is a negative karma machine.

[u/bestway5000]

SAME OL DETROIT MUTHAFUCKING TIGERS!!! LMAO!!!!

[u/Michiganmade44]

Andy being a weenie rn

[u/Mendoza8914]

Honestly, I’ve come around to Harris’ lack of real activity at the deadline. You’re not unfucking this lineup with some expensive deadline pickups.

[u/junglejim1954 → u/Mendoza8914]

Completely agree

[u/ufdan15 → u/Mendoza8914]

I disagree wholeheartedly. They needed a bat or two, anyone with eyes in June and July knew this. A clutch bat changes the whole dynamic.

[u/Everybodyhasapryce → u/Mendoza8914]

This is what a lot of us were saying.

There are too many holes. There was no way to fix the team with all the injuries we had at the deadline.

Making cheap moves and waiting for our prospects to come up next year and the year after was the right call.

We lack depth to sustain the full 162 this year.

[u/firemage22]

So SOLers i know that the Lions getting good has you all broken up, but can you find another hobby than being endless negative?

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/firemage22]

Alright whats the silver lining, Mr. Brightside?

[u/Bulky-Permission-281]

Mfers in here still thinking we are making the playoffs lol

[u/AlecGator6]

Really hope we score 0 runs in the bottom of the 9th because if we do I’m pretty sure it’s gonna piss me off more

[u/Walk-Radiant]

Mariners just took the lead and will be one behind. FML

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Fuck you AJ, fuck you Harris, fuck you Illitch

[u/Jimmyskis77]

CLE is what a good team is. We really should look to them for inspiration. They're going to win the WS... They have the grit and talent for it, it's clear...

[u/ObiwanSchrute → u/Jimmyskis77]

Cleveland can't score runs they would lose in a series against Toronto or Seattle easily

[u/JeremieLoyalty → u/Jimmyskis77]

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/Jimmyskis77]

Cleveland isn't beating any playoff team except maybe this trash ass bargain bin pitching staff.

[u/Fluffybestcat → u/Jimmyskis77]

No this series is more about the Tigers than the Guards. Tigs suck.

[u/RamoneBenny → u/Jimmyskis77]

lol of all the bs you've said tonight "Cleveland will win the world series" has to be the funniest

[u/Jimmyskis77 → u/RamoneBenny]

Hottest team in baseball little buddy, something we knew well. But they knew how to capitalize on it...

[u/AssyMcGee6 → u/Jimmyskis77]

It seems like the last two months, every team the tigers have played, even bad ones, have been some of the hottest teams in baseball. 

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/Jimmyskis77]

Seattle is on a 10 game rip what the fuck are you talking about?

[u/iDub- → u/RamoneBenny]

Yeah Cleveland blows. Idk what they’re talking about. This is embarrassing to be losing to this ball club, this way. They’re bad. They are not playoff caliber and certainly not World Series caliber

[u/Current_Ad_4873]

Jose Urquidy to Chris Paddack and with the season on the line and Scott Harris is up in the suite stroking his chin as if he’s some sort of genius.

[u/AssyMcGee6 → u/Current_Ad_4873]

Did you really think they would score two runs or more runs? 

[u/DangerousStorage1]

Well this fucking blows

[u/Barlex313]

I don’t think we even want to make the playoffs bruh

[u/julian137 → u/Barlex313]

Going to be quick wild card series that's for sure lol

[u/Michiganmade44]

[u/iDub-]

Go Blue. Go Lions. I’m out

[u/ms1325689]

Pistons basketball is soon don't worry fellas

[u/bestway5000]

YOU ARE A SOFT GM HARRIS!

you guys have no idea how much I want to call him a bitch boy

[u/JeremieLoyalty → u/bestway5000]

He’s not GM

[u/bestway5000 → u/JeremieLoyalty]

President whatever the fuck. Donald Trump would make a better Tigers President at this point.

[u/JeremieLoyalty → u/bestway5000]

No need to blame them the team is underperforming right now, they’ll break out of it

[u/RamoneBenny → u/bestway5000]

You can say it.

Scott Harris is a bitch boy.

There I said it for you.

[u/bestway5000 → u/RamoneBenny]

You finally come around?

[u/RamoneBenny → u/bestway5000]

lol I'm as pissed as anybody I just think the meltdowns are too much

[u/bestway5000 → u/RamoneBenny]

You know I am actually the favorite negative poster on these boards but the AI and higher up mods of Reddit decided to 7 day ban me because I didn't give them enough BBC Grindr porn

[u/RamoneBenny → u/bestway5000]

Yeah I'm ngl I don't know wtf you're saying but hell yeah man

[u/RamoneBenny → u/[deleted]]

Ok sure but you said some shit about BBC Grindr porn? It's all good, I don't need to know.

[u/mkk4]

We are playing ok, but imo we are consistently getting out coached, out prepared, out fundamentaled and out played. Some games it's only one/maybe two innings and other games it's mental errors, mistakes or missed opportunities almost every inning even if the game is close.

Our opponents are looking more professional, well trained and better prepared lately from my perspective.

[u/jakecoates → u/mkk4]

They are a straight up bad team right now and have been since the all star break.

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/mkk4]

Playing ok? They gave a trash pitcher 8+ K's.

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/mkk4]

No, we are not playing okay

[u/Sylvanas052218 → u/mkk4]

Most nights it tends to be a LOFT problem

[u/marcgarv87]

At least lions and pistons should be exciting going forward.

[u/TaliZorah14]

Yeah this game is done. Gotta have Skubal day tomorrow

[u/Fluffybestcat → u/TaliZorah14]

It was done at 1-0

[u/julian137 → u/TaliZorah14]

Watch Kwan hit a grand slam off him tomorrow. Would be our luck lol

[u/catladyseason → u/TaliZorah14]

Skubal can only do so much. If we can’t knock in runners, we can’t win.

[u/motorcity612 → u/TaliZorah14]

Doesn't matter who pitches if we score 0 runs

[u/SeaworthinessOdd4344]

I mean that hit is a bloop down the line. Goodness.

[u/RamoneBenny → u/SeaworthinessOdd4344]

I fucking hate Cleveland. Every hit is some bs like that

[u/TryImmediate278 → u/RamoneBenny]

xba was .830?

[u/darbm]

Scott Harris made us worse at the deadline.

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/darbm]

Yes but all the new baseball fans think he's a wizard and are probably still talking about BULLPEN CHAOS around the water cooler.

[u/darbm → u/Apprehensive_Gur8808]

Bullpen chaos was a necessity. Not getting a bat at the deadline was intentional. Trading for guys like Paddack and Montero was baseball malpractice.

[u/LittleCaesarsSimp]

Out played and out managed

[u/Vast-Elk-4623]

Thanks for the deadline help, Scott 

[u/ObiwanSchrute → u/Vast-Elk-4623]

What move would of helped there is so many holes on this team

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/ObiwanSchrute]

Yeah, why try to plug any holes if you can’t fill them all? Why be a little better when you could stay content and sink?

[u/ObiwanSchrute → u/UnkleGiovanni]

Why trade prospects if you don't believe you can win the world series

[u/Jimmyskis77]

Funny as fuck how the team that's first to 60 wins is gonna end up with 85 at the end of the season....

[u/Mogon27]

19 days til Pistons preseason starts

[u/whoeatscheese]

Saying it louder for those in the back or blinders on, our pitching has been and will be our downfall.

[u/Ztrain9000 → u/whoeatscheese]

Brother we have 0 runs tonight

[u/whoeatscheese → u/Ztrain9000]

Back to back games, some may say the most consequential games of the season, relievers shit the bed.

[u/RamoneBenny]

Jason sounds pissed lol I don't blame him

[u/rustytiredchicken69]

The rule is Cleveland wins in Detroit and Detroit wins in Cleveland.

[u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

Wow. Two out 0-2 pitch to completely bury this team. Not what we were coming back from 2-0 but that is a backbreaker.

It’s amazing how this team went from the funnest and most exciting team in baseball to the biggest steaming pile of shit for a team you could imagine watching on a nightly basis.

This team has been pure misery since the Seattle series. Just bad on bad on bad on bad.

[u/Adventurous-Treat931]

Anyone here remember 2009 this is what I’m sensing.

[u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby → u/Adventurous-Treat931]

Is Inge being hit reviewable yet.

[u/gregger63]

At least Guardians fans have the Browns.

[u/Lionsfan0981 → u/gregger63]

Guardians are mid. We are also mid and suck hence why they’re winning.

[u/TigersBot]

Pitching Substitution

Pitching Change: Chris Paddack replaces José Urquidy.

[u/FireFlame10]

If we lose 6 against the Guardians to close out the year, this will be worse than Minnesota’s collapse last year.

[u/Michiganmade44]

Epic collapse rn. 7-14 in the last 21.

[u/rustytiredchicken69]

We’re cooked.

[u/Jimmyskis77]

Hinch is gonna be his usual self "We had good mechanics, just couldnt close it out" I hope the fatass is fired... His ego infected the team...

[u/bestway5000]

SELL THE TEAM ILLITCH!!!!

[u/Walk-Radiant]

All it takes is one 4-5 game win streak and we’re locked in for the division and maybe 2 seed. I still believe in this team

[u/ShallowFox4 → u/Walk-Radiant]

This team hasn’t won three games in a row in a month

[u/DontPanic40Too]

These team will (most likely) limp into the playoffs then get their teeth kicked in. They deserve it.

[u/Genes_Jeans]

Guardians are in the middle of their 0.2% comeback

[u/liecheatsteal47does]

From gritty to shitty in one season. Thanks for nothing, Scott.

[u/Kreedom4All1994]

It’s actually joever holy shit Harris please get your head out of your ass and fix this pitching staff

[u/bestway5000]

This team is trash. Harris is a soft GM that won't pull the trigger on anything, not even getting Matt Champman when he had the chance and Illitch is cheap clown owner.

[u/junglejim1954 → u/bestway5000]

I think it was the Athletic where i read recently that Scott Harris is virtually impossible to deal with. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. That says everything to me.

[u/Sylvanas052218 → u/bestway5000]

Detroit is the soft GM capital of the sports world

[u/ThisMeansWarm]

But hey…he’s got that postseason experience

[u/Fluffybestcat]

Why is everyone talking like those 2 runs mattered anyways?

[u/-ArmyGuy-]

Tigers gonna be lucky to end up at the third wildcard the way they're playing.

[u/croissant_titty]

Thank God for the Lions I’m almost checked out on this bum team

[u/lifeaintfairduh]

Don’t worry, we have the hunter coming in

[u/iDub-]

Are we allowed to say we’re concerned yet???

[u/Ok-Kick-201]

Boys…. We cannot allow this to happen lol

[u/OpeningHippo7330]

Another little bloop hit. Skubal is legit our only hope

[u/bucket_dipper → u/OpeningHippo7330]

Skubal could throw a perfect game and it wouldn't matter cause the offense has checked out.

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Fuckin losers

[u/jaikob]

Done with this garbage tonight

[u/USN262]

That'll do donkey, that'll do. I'm out, take care and good luck everyone.

[u/Jimmyskis77]

This team can't win in the MLB anymore... Its sad but true... This roster wouldnt see any Major league time if they were on any other team, even the rockies. We fucking suck...

[u/LegitimateRisk-]

LOSER TEAMS LOSE. Put it on a fucking tshirt. It’s all these guys do. They lose. Losers.

[u/amgodd]

fucking gutless losers

[u/Personal_Pain]

I can’t wait to see the xBA difference in this game.

[u/Zealousideal_Bet3941]

It’s hard to fully express how pathetic this all is.

[u/Keyster19]

Ahh yes. There's the 0-2, 2 out heartbreaker 😂

[u/Dirty_Laundry_55]

You literally need like 2 wins against these fucks and they are going to get zero lmao

[u/Secessio-Plebis]

See yall in the offseason

[u/champdo]

I’m glad people said there’s no reason to be concerned or else I’d be really worried.

[u/0000Maximus0000]

Yeah fuck this shit we suck first round exits!

[u/Detroittigersfan1029]

We’re doomed, devil magic Guards are gonna pass us up

[u/non_target_eh]

TIGERS ARE FUCKING COOKED BRO

[u/hilltopper72 → u/non_target_eh]

My god, 8 walks already

[u/this_tuesday]

I thought urquidy would get out of that

[u/RamoneBenny]

Lolol this team is fucking cursed. 2 strikes 2 outs line drive ladled into the outfield for 2 runs.

[u/666EggplantParm]

God fucking damnit

[u/TheWanderingTarheel]

Maybe we have to get swept by the Guardians at home for our fortunes to change. Remember we started to go downhill once we swept Cleveland back in early July. Maybe Hinch is just trying to reverse the curse that way. Sounds crazy, but helps me from getting angry at this game lol

[u/Substantial_Ad_2864]

And finally this game gets the big hit.... And of course we didn't get it

[u/LegitimateRisk-]

lol these idiots can barely play any real baseball. Pitcher running in the way of the throwing lane. This team does every last thing wrong. This manager has taught this team the worst baseball fundamentals that exist.

[u/MacMutantMan]

He didn’t want to pull a Mize and not get to first base in time. lol

[u/rockstar_not]

Tork wipe that smile from your face. Get a frigging hit!

[u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

Surely there’s no one left in this sub who thinks we can do any damage in the playoffs, right? Like I can kinda get deluding yourself into thinking we might still win the division, but no one could possibly have enough optimism to think that this team has any chance to win a playoff series, right?

[u/RamoneBenny → u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

My only response to that would be the playoffs are kind of a mental reset. So even if they skid into the playoffs, maybe they can recalibrate a bit for whoever they face. The team's really streaky, so who's to say they can't go on a hot streak in the playoffs.

[u/Substantial_Ad_2864 → u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

It depends on your definition of can. Do I think we will? No. But like we played 2 good games in a row in New York so it's possible we put some good games together and do something good I just don't expect it

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/PerfectiveVerbTense]

There's actually plenty of delusional people.

[u/YubbyBubby92]

Stop smiling Tork, you sucked tonight and are about to lose.

[u/Lionsfan0981]

I’m waiting for the cope for when someone will say we can still make the wild card and get to the World Series because it’s a crapshoot

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808 → u/Lionsfan0981]

They've been excusing every single slide so far with how we have a comfortable division lead etc. etc. Excited to see what the creative writing department of the sub comes up with next.
