I honestly don't mind it. I thought J-Hey and Chas put together two great ABs in the bottom of the 9th. Will it carry over? Who knows, but I don't mind rewarding the effort from yesterday. I do think those two at least have the ability to handle heat better than Jake and Dubon currently.

J-Hey being the largest drop in OF defense.

How about a classy, old-school, mid-90s SI cover? Maybe their best cover ever.

I like it.

That said, I think both probably have a short leash. If they have a rough one or two abs and come up in a big spot a ph will be in order.

The biggest advantage is just avoiding the situation that was referenced above earlier in the 5th inning.

Having Dubon, Meyers and Altuve up in sequence is a recipe for extending a starter another inning

(ignoring the fact the Tigers are going bullpen; this lineup shouldn't be used again...ever)

Limited walks and clean defense equals 2 wins over these next 2 games

Ummm.. JHey is not the player he once was, but the guy has 5 gold gloves and won Defensive Player of the Year in 2014.

The last GG was in 2017, but the guy is more than serviceable in LF.

I'd like a sizable lead so we don't need Hader.

GGs are for RF. We are all doomed that he's in LF!

after his 0 for 4 in game 1...

Tucker's postseason OPS is .691

Bagwell's postseason OPS was .685
4 series that stick out (not including 2019 when Tuck had 12 total ABs in the postseason):

2020 ALCS vs TBR (5 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 7 K in 7 games; OPS of .593)
2022 ALCS vs NYY (2 H, 0 RBI, 3 BB, 2 K in 4 games; OPS of .466)
2023 ALDS vs MIN (2 H, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 3 BB, 6 K in 4 games; OPS of .508)
2023 ALCS vs TEX (4 H, 2 2B, 1 HR, 0 RBI, 5 BB, 4 K in 7 games; OPS of .521)

All other series have been .750+ OPS.

That and the top four going 0-fer on RBIs just can't happen again if they want to continue the season.

I assume a RHP is starting for Detroit, so I would probably like to have Singleton start at 1st. Caratini gives more flexibility on the bench.

Probably not a huge difference in the data, though.

LHP opener Holten for Detroit. I doubt anyone will face a pitcher more than once, so I think Singleton will get a PH opp at some point.

Interesting, I knew I should have checked, but figured Heyward would only start vs a RHP

Or maybe brought him back to platoon with Singleton at 1B.

I love Yuli....

But y'all realize he had an OPS of .660 last year (around where he was with us in 2022 and people were screaming for him to be traded) and was released....picked up this year on a minor league contract, right?

Absolutely. But he would have been better than what we got out of Abreu.

We must score first today. Get down early again, and I could see our boys start to press at the plate.

I just want to take a moment and once again thank the decision makers at the networks for MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WATCH MY TEAM PLAY IN THE PLAYOFFS.

I think it's more Manfred and MLB than it is the networks.

NBA has multiple games on at the same time during the playoffs.

It's not just Manfred, it's been this way since the mid-90s. I remember trying to get updates on the Astros when they were playing the Braves while I was at school.
