Welcome to the Josh Hader post-season experience, Houston.

Ball knowers think he's worth every penny.

This could be the end finally of the Astros reign(someone in the West still has to win the division tho)

The lineup has no depth. Bregman might not even be back. Altuve will be 35.

Rotation had some injuries but is pretty blahhhh

Been a hell of a run though, cheating or not

This is a perfect manager for a team like Detroit.

Even though he had a guy bunting who had no ability to bunt to the right side.

Then Meadows has an easy steal with the throw to 2nd going to the SS side of the bag. Till he slides on the SS side of the bag instead of the OF side.

Lots of stuff to teach these guys.

Baseball's postseason, either incredibly cruel to play 162, and go out with the snap of a finger...or incredibly celebratory, to get hot when it counts and play on.

A lot of truth there. ^^^^^^
  Momentum is a funny thing.   Tigers couldn't lose in 2006 and 2012.  Until they sat for a week between the ALCS and WS both times.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.  Let's see if it pays off.

As a Twins fan I know futile. And while theres a deeper track record of it for the Twins

The Orioles might over take them in playoff futility.

Holy hell is this a brutal two year stretch.

Big off-season for them.  Played .500 ball from August 1st on.  Sounds like Burnes is adios but their system is so loaded, they can probably change up on the fly. 

Wonder if they think upgrade in the dugout

I think they need to keep using those prospects for high end proven talent. Part of their stalling the last two years imo is they have so much young talent blocking each other going up and down and moving around besides Henderson. Pick a couple and use the rest to upgrade now

I agree.  System depth is great.  Not using it to improve at the MLB level now seems dumb

Record setting losses doesn't actually count when 3 teams from your division make the ALDS!

Welcome to the Josh Hader post-season experience, Houston.

Ball knowers think he's worth every penny.
Josh Hader 2024 salary, $19 mil
Entire Tiger wild card playoff roster 2024 salary, $18.8 million.


That goes up if Maeda is added for the Cleveland series.

I would not have let Maton continue to pitch after Adames singled. That was poor managing.

Historically, the Twinkees problem is every time they come to New York, they fold like a lawn chair.

This is a typical Brewers win. What they have done all year.

CreightonWarrior

Broke a 6 game losing streak and a 20 game losing streak when losing after 6 innings, a streak that was older than I am.

I'm a fan of Chourio.  The kid has a bright future.

Verypolitical Warrior

If I were the Brewers I'd consider locking up Chourio for the next 9 years.

I'd also consider finding a different occupation for Rhys Hoskins, so you win some you lose some.

Three teams from their division are in the ALDS as a result of having the White Sox in their division.  FWIW, the 1962 Mets actually had a worse record than the White Sox (40-120 is a lower percentage than 41-121).
