There’s something kind of fun about watching the postseason drama unfold when you don’t have a horse in the race. Sure, it would be more enjoyable to watch if the Tigers were still in it, but it’s also very fun to watch the White Sox absolutely destroy the Guardians with no worries about the outcome. It’s always fun to watch the Yankees drop the ball. And it can be very interesting to watch the stories of Shohei Ohtani slumping and Mason Miller tipping his pitches when they aren’t playing on your
team.
So we’ll get into all that below, but on the Tigers’ side of things, Riley Greene has been nominated for the Hank Aaron Award this season, and we aren’t totally done making you cry about Justin Verlander.
Let’s get into it!
