At least the Sox have made it interesting here at the end....a sweep of the Tigers to avoid holding the worst record to themselves would be something.

They had Mize listed as the original starter.

Must have gotten scared. 

Tonight is the night of nights!

Seriously though, Detroit has been red hot and just seems to find ways to win lately. I don't think the Sox are coming home without owning the all time loss record.

Close game for 5 innings, bullpen blows it and Det clinches

Vaughn's got no chance tonight 

I don't understand how the big bat of Vargas isn't in the starting lineup.

Nice 0 for the series against the Mighty Angels

Make that four unless they actually push Crochet longer in the game for the first time in six weeks.

Detroit just has so much more athleticism and defense.  

12 starts in a row limited to four or less innings. 7 days of rest though.

In the end almost impossible to sweep DET in this situation on the road, and for Minnesota or Seattle to also win 3 consecutive.  But certainly dramatic enough in the moment.

So it's Braves/Mets and the crazy weather.

If you miss Vargas, here’s some footage of him from batting practice…

Detroit trying to avoid Houston...which the national media would love with Hinch vs. his former team.

Probably won't get much help from Min vs. Baltimore.

Detroit's starter got pulled?

DeLoach has actually looked pretty good tonight...like he's playing for a job next year.  Hiding in against a tough  lefty and battled.

Bullpen guy.  Two inning limit.

53-26 record for Detroit with Parker Meadows playing.

Crochet has only walked two in his last eight outings.

Just 35 pitches. 

Wish they had DeLoach on the board to put some pressure but you had the botched call.  Just assumed a fan touch on the ball down the RF line.

everything Schriffen says comes off so prepared and fake

Ramos just needs more time on the minor working on his defense.

Bad read.  Extra pitches.  Loud grunting from Crochet.  Never goes out of the 50s for pitch counts recently.

Benetti called it a swing.

Bad call.

 

Didn't realize Trey Sweeney was the wrong Dodger traded to Sox. 

Flaherty trade...Fedde sigh. Similar values.

lost all his command, arm is probably tired as f*** at this point.  game is over anyways 

Nicky Lopez get the f*** off my team, you're so bad

Ends season with a nifty 3.58 ETA and lots of extra high velo/max effort pitches due to Ramos.

At least he recovered and got the out.

 

25 years since Old Tiger Stadium  now.  Those iconic outfield over hanginf upper decks and CF flag in play at 440.

Crochet is just an absolute stud. Really going to suck watching another Sox ace go on to pitch for another team. I hate this organization.
