Leaving 15 runners on base is
(A) all you need to know about this game, and
(B) how Detroit played down the stretch.   

For those wondering why they faltered after the all star break.

Javy has been Detroit's best hitter.

Also ...

Vogt got away with giving a minor-league RF his first career MLB start in a must-win playoff game, playing out of position (CF), on a sunny, windy day. Almost didn't get away with it, but in the end it was ok.

Hinch pinch hit for Greene for the first time all season.  The pinch hitter struck out.

I thought that was really weird. Kinda like when Billy pinch-hit for Reggie - though I'm guessing Greene took it better.

The Cubs/Padres going to a game 3 is best case scenario. Hopefully, they can play 20 innings tomorrow.

They had Monday off and they have Friday off. If you make it through the Wild Card round, you kind of have an advantage. Your pitching staff isn't spent yet and you didn't just sit for a week straight.

I feel the same about Det-Cle. Hoping they have to use Skubal in the 20th inning, and the Tigers win!

If bad Flaherty shows up, the game will be over in the third inning.

WTF was that?  Learn how to bunt.

That was terrible base running.  Boston would have scored easily there.

Ohtani is VERY cool.  I wonder if he golfs or plays tennis?  He's the most skilled player ever?

I don't know the details of that story.  I thought it was his agent?

We have a severe gambling problem.  It doesn't help that we promote it 24/7.

That wasn't even close to a strike on that 3-1 pitch.
