Re: Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Must Win Game Thread
I don't care for the excessive off days because it makes it more about who has the better top end starters and back of the bullpen rather than who has the deepest staff. The tigers don't have near the overall Staff that the M's do but they can Start Skuball twice in 4 games and throw their back end relievers every single game because of the days off. The goal should be to have the playoffs represent the best overall teams and that's done by replicating the regular season as much as possible.

If you recall in 1995 it was the first two in Yankee Stadium in the last three at the Kingdome

Re: Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Must Win Game Thread
If you happen to have a dominant starter then I am going to be happy to try and use them as much as possible, like Randy in 1995. If the Mariners had been able to make it to the WS by pitching the crap out of Randy I wouldn't have felt guilty about it. I don't have a problem with the Tigers trying to use Skuball as much as possible, they can pitch him on short rest if they want to, or put him in the BP.

Looks like you will get you wish for tonight at least.Millikin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 07, 2025 5:28 amI just don't get why all 3 possible remaining Mariners games vs Detroit are noon or 1 pm Pacific, but Yankees Bluejays are 4 and 5.
For the sake of the west coast Seattle fans we can't get one fucking evening game? All 3 games are on weekdays. It's so aggravating. I'm fucking employed, you dickheads...

I would be shocked if they burned Skubal in the pen when they can start him Friday. It was game five no tomorrow when Randy came in.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue Oct 07, 2025 4:14 pmIf you happen to have a dominant starter then I am going to be happy to try and use them as much as possible, like Randy in 1995.
