Can someone smarter than me (low bar to clear) explain what Detroit needs to happen to clinch a playoff spot prior to Sunday? Explanations that include the Tigers holding Skubal for game one of the wild card series rather than starting him in game 162 preferred.

Clearly someone didn't open the messages.

I'll go a step further to tell you how it will happen. He'll go into the last day of the season needing one strikeout to lead MLB solo (and win my bet for me), and will be pulled due to elbow soreness on an 0-2 count to the leadoff batter. Braves luck this year plus my luck = sorry...

My only hope at this point is that they stay in the race long enough so that they don't get the bright idea to shut Sale down early or skip starts to save him for next year. He's holding a tenuous lead in the MLB strikeout race, in which I have a financial stake.

He died?

John Schuerholz just turned over in his grave.

By December this team will be healthy enough to win it all!

My bet it and forget it $10 prop bet on Sale to lead MLB in strikeouts is within range. Pays $1010.00 if he can make up a four K difference on Cease between now and the end of the year. No more extra rest days for the rotation please. The similar bets on Ozuna and Riley to win the HR crown...

Not at all. Left field defense isn't incredibly important, especially if it means keeping both Acuña and Ozuna in the lineup while the former gets a day off in the field.

Because it really just means that one of those awful OFs would be DH that day. You know Snit isn't going to let his backup catcher DH.

Ozuna standing in LF for 30-40 games per year isn't going to kill the team, provided he continues to hit at a level anywhere near what he's done this year.

I don't think this is necessarily fair. AA inherited Snitker. I suspect he's as frustrated with some of the decisions Snit makes as we are. But how do you fire a guy who's an organizational lifer with a recent WS title and on a long playoff/division title streak? My guess and hope is that AA...

I suspect this move happening now means Harris will be ready sooner rather than later. At least I hope that's the case.

It's doable, but who really cares? Look how many resources got wasted or misused in the late 1990s/early 2000s to keep the division title streak alive. Three of the final four teams last year got to the playoffs via the wild card. I suspect that using so much mental energy to chase down the...

I feel bad for Dak. He's good enough to win a Super Bowl under the right scenario. That will never happen under Mike McCarthy, and would have never happened under Jason Garrett regardless of personnel surrounding them. Unless the Cowboys plan to hire a competent coach there is no point in...

Of the three, Dak is the one you have to let walk (sorry @msstate7). He's solid, but not worth the top of the league money he's being paid. If there was a way to trade him for a higher draft pick/ multiple picks next year I'd do it. This season is a waste with McCarthy being retained...

The one thing you can count on is that Jerry will find a way to screw it up. My bet is on him going all in long term on the worst possible option out of those three. I don't even know which one that is. Just that Jerry probably does and will make that option the face of the franchise.

At least you have the optimism that comes with a new head coach for CFB.

I'm a Cowboys and an Arkansas Razorback fan. None of those make me feel any better. Get back to me when the college basketball schedules are set.

There shouldn't be any excuse for teams to overvalue and overdraft a guy with poor metrics if that player came from a high D-1 program like Florida (or really any in the SEC or ACC outside of Missouri). All those schools have Trackman or something similar. Spin rates, vertical/horizontal...
