Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

I hate losing, even in spring training. But with the way this game was going, I have to feel decent about it overall. Bats woke up and sustained a rally long enough for one swing to have produced a miracle win. Didn't happen, due to bad luck on that liner, but we finally showed a pulse. If we can't take the next two from a young team, that's just how it goes.

you needed a hold the top of the 9th to have a chance in the bottom half. who you throwing and giving that responsibility to ?

hader is the by the book move at this point of the season. if he blows it, you can’t second guess yourself. you put it in your best closer’s hands.  roll out presley and and you wonder if hader would have held the game and so on ….

 

if this was game 122, yeah bring in presley, ort or montero lol

Remember that if Pressly is closing out game 3.

 

it’s the playoffs, every game is a game 7 

i don’t see hader telling espada he can’t go game 3, if needed

Hinch continues to do the most with the least. Probably the best manager in baseball

For the infinitemillionth time, managers don't determine wins and losses. It's all about the players, always. The rest is just leftover space for internet warriors to bitch about managers that lose and pussy pedestal those that win.

Not a great feeling about this series. Yordan is dinged at the absolute worse time and Skubal almost certainly appears on Thursday. 

 

he didn’t look good on that double

he should just home runs tomorrow

False. If you start Martin Maldonado instead of yainer Diaz, or Dubon when Chas was a borderline all star then you have a lot to do with who won or lost. 
I would not  have brought Hader in for the 9th but it made sense in this context. Espada didn’t do anything to lose us this game.

Ha. Skubal isn’t pitching on Thursday man. If he does like an inning (he ain’t pitching)

They are playing with house money and have greatly exceeded expectations.  They could steal a three game series, but they are not built for the postseason at all.  

There is no way that they are going to risk a Cy Young winner with two more years of team control on less than two days rest after throwing 90 pitches for a chance to be eliminated in the ALDS.

yes, go be a tigers fan. start tonight 

My comment re: Hinch was ill-timed.  This is not a moment for doubt and disunion.  There will be time for reflection and over analysis (and more over analysis as is the Surly way) when the season’s ended.  In the meantime, all the positive mojo we can muster must be brought to bear to get a win tomorrow.  It ain’t over ‘til it’s over….and it ain’t over.
