caulfield12 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 "Rogers: Well, it would be quite fun if the Chicago White Sox could somehow avoid setting the record for the most losses in a single season by winning games against the Detroit Tigers this coming weekend -- while also preventing the Tigers from making the postseason. If the opposite happens and Detroit sweeps, it will have gone 12-1 against the White Sox -- the same record the Royals and Minnesota Twins have against the Sox this season. Chicago's futility kept the entire AL Central in the playoff race, impacting the playoff chances of other AL teams such as the Boston Red Sox and Mariners. Alas, the White Sox are just one loss away from a new record -- but that doesn't necessarily mean they can't spoil things for the Tigers this weekend."

caulfield12 Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 Well unless it's the Mariners somehow. We could still save the Royals/Twins from one of the better September choke jobs. Detroit if they do make it to playoffs the most likely team to spend more going into the offseason. Not even sure it matters buried behind all four organizations at this point.

caulfield12 Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 (edited) Tigers are sky high...now leading KC and the Twins by 1/2 and 1 1/2. 28-11 run now behind dominant pitching. Skubal would go again Sunday if necessary, he's clearly your AL Cy Young. Has gone from just 80 innings in 2023 to nearing 200 this season. And to think they were considering trading him at the deadline... Royals have lost seven in a row, 7-16 and Minnesota on a 11-22 run so both teams in full collapse mode as Seattle desperately tries to join the fray.

southsider2k5 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Using the word "battle" to describe the match up of either these two teams or booths is an insult. This is what is known as a slaughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree completely. For the first time since mid-May, I'm excited for a series. Does knocking the Tigers out of the playoffs, redeem the season? Of course not. But it will be fun and exciting. A real reason to play. Come Sox!! Let's stick it to the Tigers and keep them out of the playoff. I'll be watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we also have bonus baseball on Monday with Mets/Braves DH…moved from the path of Hurricane Helene and just one game separating the two as of this exact moment. And the possibility of Benetti missing a playoff clincher on Saturday while doing Fox #2 game with Damon Huard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 (edited) Royals starting to beat up Corbin, worst pitcher in baseball since 2019 WS who has made 30+ starts every season regardless, the most durable/available. That would be 11 games over, with Minnesota at +6. TB 2-0 over Det, who will be +9/+11. Wouldn’t be totally shocked if they signed Corbin to replace Flexen and possibly mentor Crochet. Or Kyle Hendricks. Edited September 26 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Tigers have rallied from 3-0 down to take 4-3 lead late. Question is whether they can close it out. 10 years since last playoff appearance Magic number 3 for the moment, Minnesota plays tonight.. Just don’t want to see Crochet overthrow tmrw in what will weirdly feel like a postseason game with loss record and Detroit unreal home crowd possibly looking to clinch WC. Royals rallied 7-4 lead late. Would both be +11 with Minny absolutely needing a win to stay two back with three. And Minnesota with tiebreaker situation head to head with Det has to win 4/4 probably. Benetti has a magic moment. What a comeback. And maybe the pressure to sweep the Sox is now off and no Skubal on Sunday. Still no Detroit starter for tmrw announced.
