are detroit tigers heading for epic collapse

[lekidecincinnati]

down to 3.5 game lead over cleveland

on july 8th they had a 15.5 game lead

cleveland is hot won 7 in a row and 12 of 13 games

cle gets 3 more games against detroit coming up next week

this would be an epic collapse if tigers blow this divsion

Since All-star break, Detroit has been a breakeven team. Completely flat-lined on wins/losses.
Had great momentum in the 1H of season. Was the best team in MLB for a while.

Now they are at best average. They won't go far in the playoffs.


Cleveland may catch them. It all depends on their 3 game series vs the Tigers in Cleveland starting next Tuesday. Det has a harder patht to hang on in the AL Central w/ 2 difficult series (@CLE, @BOS) and one so-so vs ATL at home.

Its the best time of year for MLB.

You come at Cleveland you walking back with a limp.

The kids back!!!

i love seeing it cause it makes baseball what it is. long season and you have to play all 162 games to win. tigers were really frauds the first half of the year. was so tired of hearing how good they were.

 

[LT Profits]

Meh, whole AL Central sucks so should not matter who wins it. Hottest team in division since All Star Break has been WHITE SOX

 

[jjgold]

I don’t even know how to that possible. The manager will get fired if they don’t get in the playoffs.

cle wins again detroit loses

lead down to 2.5 games

 

[charliebrown]

Is there gonna be a no hitter this weekend?

 

[MinnesotaFats]

Det cannot hit.

Clev only has 2 guys in lineup that can hit yet teams keep pitching go them, including Det the other day in 7th inning.

 

[lekidecincinnati]

this is not good tiger fans

tigers were losing to braves come back in the 7th go up 5-3 5-4 going to the ninth with two outs and give up 2 runs

another loss and cleveland is winning lead bout to be 1.5 games

wowzers

Not a chance in hell. Hinch has helped change this team from an afterthought to a contender since being hired.

 

[lekidecincinnati]

some guys holding tigers al central future tickets nervous as hell right now after already planning on cashing in a winner up 15.5 games earlier in season

Detroit won’t show up again until October. There pitcher is a CY young slinger, they’ll back him with runs, and they’ll get quality innings from the bullpen.

They’ll lose your money right now though.

They’re barely holding on

Tigers are not guaranteed to make playoffs if they blow division.
