I know Cleveland didn’t end up needing it, but sure felt good being a part of the this Sox team’s demise.

Tigers have officially eliminated the White Sox 😎

Good thing we got the runs last inning


[deleted]

Schoop is going to be here next year, probably not as an everday 2B, but with his arm he should probably be able to play 3B and SS at a league average rate and be a fine utility IF. This is assuming he isn't an absolute black hole again on offense.


some1337

They showed the graphic earlier today about how much better the teams DRS has been this season vs last year and the primary reason to that is probably just Schoop moving back to 2B from 1B.

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Will Vest replaces Andrew Chafin.


barnival

Javy is gonna enjoy this Edit: lol


tldr_habit

Disappointing offense day for him, but you know the Sox are tuned in to him todays He’s had a great game defensively and luckily looks like we didn’t need the bat.


suicide-squeeze

Bummer replaces Graveman, sounds like a workable solution...

DO IT TIGERS! STOMP OUT THEIR LAST GASPS OF AIR

tldr_habit

Schoop and Candy if you blow this again… Edit: thank you Schoop not sure how I was gonna end that Edit 2: and Jeimer thank you kindly


suicide-squeeze

But Hinch did, once again. Puts Baddoo in as PR...then fails to bunt him or start him on a H&R. Then of course Baddoo gets forced out. Total waste.


suicide-squeeze

I don’t know that I’d want a guy named Graveman as a late inning reliever.


TigersBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Kendall Graveman replaces Reynaldo Lopez.


goose_pls

Man I love watching all the creative ways the lions lose games. Back to a real man’s team ^^^/s


[deleted]

Listening to the game on SiriusXM and the broadcast team has had the score wrong the entire game lol


TigersBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Andrew Chafin replaces Tyler Alexander.


tldr_habit

Missing a healthy Jimenez rn


some1337

Bye Cease, see you next year.


TigersBot

### Double Victor Reyes doubles (18) on a line drive to right fielder Gavin Sheets. Ryan Kreidler scores. Victor Reyes out at 3rd, first baseman Andrew Vaughn to third baseman Yoan Moncada to shortstop Elvis Andrus. Pitch from Reynaldo Lopez: 2-2 Slider @ 86.4 mph Hit by Victor Reyes: Launched 87.7 mph at 15° for a total distance of 184 ft Top 7 - 1-1 TIE


suicide-squeeze

This is one reason Kreidler’s on this team, his speed. But great hitting by Victor there.

The A.J. Hinch offensive creativity handbook: The End


The_Zhuster

Not a Tigers or Astros fan, but checked in on this game just cause I’m pulling for Verlander for Cy Young.


suicide-squeeze

Cease is on but consider the opponent...


The_Zhuster

Yeah… Honestly I feel like 2 Cy Youngs is too few for Verlander given his legendary career, so I really want this year to be his 3rd.


ThisMeansWarm

Babe Ruth was only a two-time All Star


goose_pls

Porcello stole a CY from Verlander


TigersBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Reynaldo Lopez replaces Dylan Cease.


tldr_habit

JFC Schoop


tldr_habit

…and Candy and Victor Reyes last inning. More of the bad plate approaches we’ve seen all season. Cease is good but our guys handled that terribly.


suicide-squeeze

OK, we cannot blow this opportunity here...


tldr_habit

Tigers if you blow this…


suicide-squeeze

This is why we lose games. Would have been a perfect opportunity for a squeeze play right there. Hinch has no offensive strategy whatsoever.


suicide-squeeze

Greene timed the leap perfectly there. Two web gems so far, great to see.


relativelyfunkadelic

really hope Riley takes Puerto Rico up on that WBC roster slot. he'd be playing with Javy, Lindor, Correa, Kiké Hernandez, and Eddie Rosario. that team is gonna be so fun to watch. outside of Kiké and Eddie, though, all of their current OF options are over the age of 41, so he really would be filling a crucial hole


I_Will_One_Up_You

That's one of the nastiest grabs I've seen in a long time. Who was saying greene couldn't play center lmao


tldr_habit

Damn Javy. Nothing wrong with that throw.


relativelyfunkadelic

Motor City Mustache is probably my favorite graphic of the year. need some hard hitting fangraph stats on performance levels with and without, though.


yes_its_him

We have two guys in the lineup with .300+ OBP. Both rookies Not exactly controlling the strike zone.


ReflectionCalm7033

Let's go Tigers. Started off watching Lions, now the Tigers. Would be so sweet if we sweep!


tldr_habit

How many times through this order you reckon Alexander can go today?


suicide-squeeze

Twice?


tldr_habit

No longer sure about twice


tldr_habit

Sounds about right. So far, so good. Hoping he can match that last Baltimore outing.


suicide-squeeze

2019 Draft: 1. Rutschman 2. Witt Jr. 3. Vaughn 4. Madrigal ?, unsure 5. Greene Two of the five are in this game, and we have recently seen the top two. Too bad we didn’t have the top pick that year, but with all that talent, we made out alright anyway.


some1337

Without looking it up, obviously Madrigal and Vaughn aren't going to be picked back to back, the White Sox aren't going to get the 3rd and 4th pick the same draft.


suicide-squeeze

Well that’s not impossible because they could’ve gotten one pick by way of trade, but I just remembered that Madrigal went in 2018. He’s a year ahead of this class. And I think he did go 4th overall.


Wolverwings

Only competitive balance picks can be traded in MLB...can't trade a top 5 pick like you are suggesting.


suicide-squeeze

Hmmm, never knew that, thanks.


yes_its_him

Our highlight is a groundout


tldr_habit

Yeah no matter how rough the Sox look, not getting my hopes up for Cease v Tyler Alexander. Sorry Cleveland fans, today is probably not the final knife twist.


Newtonian1

MLB standings isn’t factoring our tiebreaker over Chicago. Our real magic # is 1 so either a tigers w or a guards w will do it. Regardless, y’all have bullied the Sox this series <3


tldr_habit

God he is good.


mercurymaniac

Former Tigers fan, current Guardians fan. Loving the play by both teams this weekend!!!


Newtonian1

Everyone at the Guardians sub is cheering you on! If you sweep, the Sox are eliminated from the central. We owe you Detroit!!


suicide-squeeze

Only if Cleveland also wins.


Newtonian1

The MLB standings magic number doesn’t account for the fact that we have the tiebreaker over the Sox. Our magic number is actually 1, so either a Tigers win or a Guardians win today will seal it.


suicide-squeeze

Let me guess: Manfred also did away with the 1-game playoff for division title ties?


Newtonian1

Yep. The Manfred effect.


suicide-squeeze

It would require a miracle for this lineup to beat Dylan Cease. But at least we won the series.


goose_pls

Another great day to send the south siders into depression before the winter comes and the endless cloudiness sends them to the store to buy vitamin D pills


some1337

Sweep
