The Tigers in the playoffs?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Their leading hitter is at .262. Skubal is the whole team lol.

Riley Greene has still put together a really nice season. 24 HRs .351 obp/.485 slg. Seems like he has overtaken Torkelson as the top hitting prospect on the team.

Yay for the Tigers! 'Nuff said.

Is Torkelson even a prospect anymore?

Kerry Carpenter looks pretty good. I would expect them to get demolished in the divisional round, should they make it.

They just won again today. Beware the young, naive team on a huge roll!


Torkelson is Rob Deer playing first base. I don't think he's on the team next year. It's Parker Meadows who's been the MVP. And Riley Greene is an all-star who's still going to get better. The pitching has been fantastic. But they're so young it really doesn't make sense for them to be playing this well.

So all the Detroit Tigers need now going into a season ending three game series against the woeful Chicago White Sox is one win (or a loss by the Twins) and they'll clinch a playoff spot!

I get that you're from Detroit, but how is Parker Meadows, the MVP, he's hitting .243 in 250 AB????

He plays gold-glove caliber center field in a park where it really makes a difference. He's hitting .296 since he came back in August from injury. The team is 20 games over .500 when he's in the lineup.

And he's clutch: Parker Meadows, with his two home run thefts – one in Seattle against Cal Raleigh and the other in Baltimore against Colton Cowser. Meadows again, with two dramatic game-winning hits: The walk-off single that beat the Yankees in the Little League Classic at Williamsport and, of course, the two-out, 3-2 grand slam homer that beat San Diego 4-3.


And by the way....THE DETROIT TIGERS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!

They're 31-11 in their last 42 games. Youngest roster in baseball. Best manager and best pitching coach. And whomever they play has to face Tarik Skubal in game 1. I wouldn't bet against them at this point. I don't think the Yankmees even wanna play this team right now.

Their win percentage is .538, not .200.....lol.

And just like that they knock off the Astros. I think they have a great chance against Cleveland too.

[Shoeless Moe]

3 teams from the Central and 1 from the East left out of the last 4 in the AL.

Pretty sure that's never happened.

Bold prediction... Is this driven by anti-Yankees bias?

Bullpen. Bullpens win playoffs. Guy after guy with a lights out WHIP.

And it isn't just me.

Their bullpen has been amazing for sure. Outside of Bibee, who are their starters in a best of 5?

The Indians used to be my favourite American League team. This non-Indians outfit is down there with the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers.

So far so good. Tough, exciting series, Subral was just overdue to be roughed up a bit.

[BobbyStrawberry]

My prediction: the Yankees are going to put a hurt on the Guardians.

[Balticfox]

Boooo! A Yankees versus non-Indians final fills me with loathing and disgust. I want both teams to lose.
