Default The Tigers in the playoffs?

On July 4th the Tigers were 39-48, 9 games under .500 and 16 games behind the Clevelands. They trailed Minnesota, New York, Boston, KC, Houston, and Tampa for the last wild card. Today they're a game ahead and tied with KC for the 2nd wildcard spot and 8 games over .500.

No one in Detroit saw this coming. It has to rank up there as one of the best late season comebacks ever to make the playoffs. Are too many teams qualifying for the playoffs to begin with? This seems crazy that they're going to actually get in the playoffs with a bunch of kids and one starting pitcher.

I was baffled by that signing when it happened.

Riley Greene has still put together a really nice season. 24 HRs .351 obp/.485 slg. Seems like he has overtaken Torkelson as the top hitting prospect on the team.

Is Torkelson even a prospect anymore?

Kerry Carpenter looks pretty good. I would expect them to get demolished in the divisional round, should they make it.

They just won again today. Beware the young, naive team on a huge roll!


Torkelson is Rob Deer playing first base. I don't think he's on the team next year. It's Parker Meadows who's been the MVP. And Riley Greene is an all-star who's still going to get better. The pitching has been fantastic. But they're so young it really doesn't make sense for them to be playing this well.
