2025 MLB Season

[MU82]

Hinch:  Easy decision. After the 5th, I checked in on him how he was doing physically and emotionally, and that we both knew he had one left. You know, he emptied his tank and obviously was emotional coming off the mound, and I think that signals exactly where we were in the game.  He gave us everything he could.

Stop it. What does a championship-winning manager who spends 6-7 days a week with his players for 8 straight months really know about what makes them tick physically and emotionally?

[The Sultan]

Yes because it's certain to go exactly the same if Skubal stays in for the 7th.

No but they had plenty of opportunities to win.

And you are also making the assumption that the Ms wouldn't have tied it with Skubal pitching. Maybe they would have even taken the lead!

[CreightonWarrior]

Murphy's a genius!

I agree. I said in a previous post that both things can be true. If the Tigers hit more, they probably win. If the Tigers let Skubal, having mowed down 13 straight batters, face the middle of the order in the 7th, the Tigers probably win. I just personally would want to go down with my best arm on the mound. Just because he doesn't normally go beyond 100 pitches doesn't mean he's incapable of it. In a win and advance, lose and go home situation, I'm just going to push the best pitcher in baseball personally.

[MuggsyB]

Don't get that decision by Murphy at all. 

[tower912]

I cannot believe Murphy pulled his starter so soon.

[Scoop Snoop]

Then why are you unhinged?

Oh, I love it when you indulge in projection and reveal yourself Muggsy. It always means that I really rattled your cage.

Yes.  You've rattled me to the core.  Lol. 

[CreightonWarrior]

Safe to say Miz exceeded expectations this series.

[MuggsyB]

Ashby scares me. I hope I'm wrong. 

[MuggsyB]

Dammit.  Fk. 

[CreightonWarrior]

So many opportunities blown by Perkins and Ortiz to be heroes tonight.

100%.   Whatever happened to rudimentary focus?

[CreightonWarrior]

Going to be objectively hilarious when PCA eventually injures himself trying to rob a home run 40' above his head.

I was thinking somewhat of the same thing. So much of an unnecessary injury risk.

Only a Humpback 🐋 could have gotten that one from Chourio. 

[MuggsyB]

BAM!

[The Sultan]

Matt Shaw now has the time to properly mourn.

[wadesworld]

My BP could probably have used a loss tonight. But that was a fun series.

Don't see how the Brewers win without being fully healthy/only trusting one starter who goes 5 innings and gives up 2 homers a game. But what the hell.

[cheebs09]

What a game. What a team. It wasn't pretty, but gutsy effort by the rookies and bullpen.

[CreightonWarrior]

Don't know if anyone really ever predicted the crew making an NLCS with Pat Murphy.

[Uncle Rico]

Eat a bag of a$$holes, Matt Shaw

[Jockey]

Eat a bag of a$$holes, Matt Shaw

I didn't realize they were bagging them now.

[HutchwasClutch]

Great on so many levels-
Beat the hated Cubs
Beat Counsell
Break the postseason drought

Go Crew!!!!!!!

[HutchwasClutch]

BAM!

It's so beautiful Muggs!
