This is ridiculous

[Withey, Jeff]

The Tigers are being no-hit through 7. The offense has completely disappeared. Yes, several starters are missing today, but come on. I'm rapidly losing faith in this team going into Oakland. Too many terrible at bats, chasing pitchers pitches and pitches out of the zone.

No-hit through nine. Still 0-0 going to the bottom if the ninth.

Although it's irritating that the Tigers have phoned this series in to the
point of possibly only finishing a game ahead of Cleveland in the division,
I am not worried about the playoffs because of this anymore than I would be
if the Tigers had lost the last three games of spring training.

We got swept by the Royals to close the 2006 season and went on to lose only
one post-season game before playing in the World Series.

That had to be the oddest ending to a game I've seen. The Tigers were no-hit and lost 1-0, but the Marlins didn't score until the bottom of the ninth on a bases-loaded, two-out wild pitch by Luke Putkonen.

The looks of bewilderment on the Tigers' faces as they walked off the field with the Marlins running on the field to celebrate pretty much told the story.

That was just weird.

I think you have to be a bit worried. Benoit has blown 2 saves in a week, after none all season. Cabrera is hurting and it shows. The rest of the lineup is in a funk, and we surrendered the home field advantage in the playoffs.

Let's hope this is getting it out of their system.

[Roger King]

Yes, of course Cabrera is a huge concern but that was the case before this week of mediocre baseball.   I am assuming that almost a week of rest can only help.

I am also assuming the guys will be focused and ready to go, like the last two post-seasons.   

And hey, with Cleveland being so hot, maybe we’ll end up with home field advantage if they beat Boston.

If this past week was "mediocre baseball", I shudder to think what "bad baseball" might look like.

I am also assuming the guys will be focused and ready to go, like the last two post-seasons.

 

 

That would mean - like the ALCS against Texas in 2011 and the WS against San Francisco    

And hey, with Cleveland being so hot, maybe we’ll end up with home field advantage if they beat Boston.

 

 

Doesn't that quietly just skip over a small step (requirement) on our part?

Well, they took 2 of 3 from the Twins and lost 3 one run games in a meaningless end of the season series after they’d already clinched the division.  If they had gone 0-6, I’d say bad baseball.  2-4 while winning one series and clinching a playoff birth is only mediocre :)-

They lost the last 3 games of the season to Kansas City in 2006 and then blew out the Yankees and swept the A’s.   Have faith in Scherzer-Sanchez-Verlander-Fister.    Vegas does!  :)-

The Tigers went 2-4 against teams who had a combined inning percentage of .395.  They should have won four out of six, based just on their opponents' winning percentage.

Then, they lost in five games to the Cardinals.  The excuse I kept hearing was that the Tiger had too much time off between their last game against the Athletics and their first game of the World Series.  This year, they have five games off before they play in Oakland on Friday.

The odds in Las Vegas are based, not on the actual probability of an event happening, but on the expected amount that will be placed on each possible outcome.  The odds change, not based on a change in the probability of a team winning the World Series, per se, but when the oddsmakers expect bettors to change their betting patterns.

Fielder, Cabrera, Hunter, Jackson and Martinez had a total of 1 at bat
between them in yesterday's game. Are people on this list taking
yesterday's game seriously when the Top 5 Tiger hitters all had the day off,
save for Fielder's one at bat? And the pitchers batted all weekend?

And Oakland has 5 days off as well. Look, I think Oakland is a damn good
team and that's why I'm a bit nervous, not because I think the Tigers are
mediocre.

Well of course but the the Tigers have been a World Series favorite all year
is my point.
