I did NOT need that stress at the end
As a hardcore Tigers fan for the past three hours, that was one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen.
Thank you Detroit. Do it again tomorrow but without the 9th inning heart attack please?
never in doubt
That 9th inning, fuck me
Nearly lost my cool there.
That bottom of the 9th was pure cinema
Of course the Astros had to go and make things difficult at the end, damn cockroaches
*everyone liked that*
Off the bat right there I thought we were tied
Nothing is easy against Houston
I knew the Astros were FRAUDS.
Can’t wait to see how this loss affects them in the ALCS
What an awesome game. Go Tigers.
Astros will never be an easy out.. will they?
agent j-hey almost forgot his mission
Was brieske tipping? They were all over the fastball and spit on the changeup
Ok Tigers fans, you can take some cocaine to slow your hearts down now.
Tigers NEEDED to win Skubal’s start to have a chance.
Definitely wasn’t worried at all.
Holy fucking shit, I’ve got to stop caring about sports so much.
Oh my god I forgot how insanely stressful postseason baseball is
TORK. TORKELSON.
If the rest of the games are like this, it’s gonna be one hell of a postseason
Jesus goddamn Christ, postseason baseball is gonna kill me
Throwing Hader out there down 3 in G1 of a best-of-3 series was certainly a choice.
Real talk though, hinch really should’ve left holton in for the 9th
It’s refreshing seeing the very selfless deployment of the Tigers. No hard feelings, just putting them each in a position to succeed with the bullpen and the platoons with their players.
Lots of managers woulda died on the hill of rolling with Foley because he’s the closer, but that’s not how the Tigers made the postseason. Everyone in that bullpen is a dawg, insanely impressive game.
Postseason baseball isn’t so fun now is it Tigers fans
First Tigers playoff win in Golden Knights history!
Art of winning.
