And again.. Mize deserves better
Sorry but this BP blows
Doesn’t matter how many runs we score if the BP can’t protect a 1 run lead than this team won’t go anywhere in the playoffs
Playoff game are always close due to shortened pitching rotations
My frustrations began growing as soon as Hinch didn’t at least let Mize go out and start the 7th. Everything after that just pisses me off even more.
Rally time
MFer better not hit into a double play.
Man the safety squeeze sure is a decision there
Well he didn’t do that

The safety squeeze was chicken shit play for the tie baseball.
Tough loss.

Tough game to lose. We know about the bullpen. Valdez goes Sunday so that could go either way.
.
Just to elaborate….
Blowpen gave up 2 runs in 3 innings today… good for an ERA of 6.0 today.
Spreadsheets will show they have a better ERA for the season, because they may give up fewer runs when handed a 5-run lead.
Bottom line… this blowpen is at the top of the MLB for blown saves because they can’t get it done in high leverage situations.
Wagubeef got roasted.
Hate the safety Squeeze Play hate the bottom of the lineup

This stupid ■■■■■■■ bullpen is the reason we can’t win a World Series. It’s determined my entire outlook for the trade deadline. Keep Skubal at your own peril.
Dont worry guys…just gotta keep Subal the rest of season and things will work out and be no too bad…
Apparently… you don’t do spreadsheets.
The blowpen is fine.
Tigers just have to be sure to hand them a 4+ run lead after 6 innings, and everything will be fine!!!

Was the Vierling bunt attempt a MGR’s decision or something Vierling did on his own?
Not sure. But he fouled off the first one and then squared up to bunt again on the second pitch and took a strike which makes me think Manager’s call doing it back to back.
