The team with best AL win-loss record faces the team with the best NL win-loss record. That doesn't happen all the time, but it's the way it ought to be! It makes it feel like a real world championship. Both teams are likeable, but go Brewers!

The best team in baseball has advanced to the World Series. The Dodgers didn't even put up a fight.

The Tigers season did not go as planned, but I loved watching the rookies in the second half. This is easily their most intriguing group of young players since the 1980s, with more on the horizon. There are no guarantees, but I am very excited about the next few years.

Today was just an incredible way for Verlander's career to end. Pitching effectively for 5+ innings after being injured all year, the heart warming meeting on the mound with his daughter, the walkoff home run. It couldn't have been much better.

When you say Fifth Third Park, It sounds like a three-year old trying to say Pittsburgh.

Jackson Jobe looks like an anime...He has also looked pretty impressive the last 3 starts regardless of the outcome.

Thomas Pannone just pitched a perfect game for the Nashville Sounds.

I assume that Valdez is done for today. He throws a Porcello - 6 innings, 3 runs.

Max Clark isn't even that good yet, but he is already showing how exciting he can be. It's fun watching him leg out extra base hits.

The Tigers had unfavorable pitching matchups and didn't play particularly well, but they still won the series. And If the playoffs started right this moment, the Tigers would qualify.

It's been a crazy 3 years for the Tigers, but I think these kinds of "mood swings" are becoming more common in MLB. With the increasing number of injuries and more and more bullpen usage, there is a lot more randomness in the game now.

The Tigers are now in 2nd in the AL Central Just one game back in the Wildcard race Heading into the biggest week of the season so far.

Can any of the fans criticizing Jefry Yan's leaping split do a leaping split?

5 Reasons why Tigers can still make the playoffs: (1) Only 1.5 games out (2) Teams they need to catch are not very good (3) Tigers hitting better now (4) Ordinary teams can stay hot for 49 games (5) Troy Melton

You weren't alive the last time the Tigers scored 8+ runs in 6 straight games.

Nice clean inning for Wacky Pack

Melton now has a lower ERA than Misiorowski. Misiorowski is certainly more dominant, but that is still impressive.

Skubal with the loss in his first game with the Dodgers. He pitched well, but his offense and bullpen didn't help. ha ha

Hope, Ryan and Smith is not as good as what we were hearing in most of the rumors, but it's in line with what I expected. I think his value was overstated. Teams are not going to empty their farm systems for a rental no matter who it is.
