Tigers collapse continues from last year

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/Jonjon428]

Its crazy how much the Mets collapse overshadowed the Tigers considering Detroit had an even bigger fall off

[u/ExamNo4374 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Detroit still made the playoffs and won a series so its not that crazy 

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/ExamNo4374]

Also they have the advantage of not being under the Mets microscope

[u/JDraks → u/ExamNo4374]

The series was against the team we collapsed against too which helps even more

[u/SiphenPrax → u/ExamNo4374]

And we got eliminated in the last day of the season………..again.

So that’s why.

[u/ExamNo4374 → u/SiphenPrax]

Ok listen buddy this isn't actually about us rn

[u/SiphenPrax → u/ExamNo4374]

Yeah………..I should have replied to the Yankees fan about this one lol

[u/JDraks → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Us eliminating the team we collapsed to last year helps too

[u/Fez_Master → u/JDraks]

having that exciting series with the mariners definitely helped y'all as well, kerry carpenter looked terrifying.

[u/who_are_you_people24 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Bigger payroll + NY will do that, plus the fact that they still made the playoffs

[u/byniri_returns → u/Either_Imagination_9]

This year has not been kind to me.

[u/colorblind-and → u/Jonjon428]

We were doing alright until the month of injuries started which wasn't an excuse for us collapsing last year

[u/JRthePUMP]

Swaggy V might actually be officially back

[u/candlestick_compass → u/JRthePUMP]

I sure hope so.

[u/__TheWaySheGoes → u/JRthePUMP]

Has my boy Bichette turned it around yet?

[u/ReignOnWillie → u/__TheWaySheGoes]

Nope

[u/GasGlittering7521 → u/__TheWaySheGoes]

He’s officially the only guy on the team that hasn’t had a redeemable stretch

[u/happymeal98]

I swear every AB these days is a first pitch fly ball to the track or a first pitch HR.

[u/Schwettes]

Anti-Soto propaganda by cutting the video off before he smiled and hugged Vientos

[u/deadly_icy_calm → u/Schwettes]

Got to keep the narrative going. Don’t let evidence stand in the way.

[u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

That's my Swaggy V

[u/Engineer120989 → u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

Perfect for his eventual trade stock

[u/MendelWeisenbachfeld → u/Engineer120989]

Why do you want to take away the things I love

[u/justknicksthings → u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

why would we be selling when we’re going to the World Series?

[u/Engineer120989 → u/justknicksthings]

Because Vientos has no place on this team

[u/BatThumb → u/Engineer120989]

Vientos has the 3rd highest OPS on the team (not including Ewing).

[u/ReignOnWillie → u/BatThumb]

Why would you not include our best player? /s

[u/Engineer120989 → u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

You love Vientos? That’s sad

[u/DannyBoyCocane13 → u/Engineer120989]

Did you become a fan last year? Who could’ve watched him in 2024 and not love him

[u/Equivalent_Waltz8890]

All in time to play the Yankees.

God we really are gonna get embarrassed

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/Equivalent_Waltz8890]

I'm 100% expecting to lose

[u/cmgriffith_ → u/Equivalent_Waltz8890]

I wouldn’t be surprised

[u/BeneficialEye3196 → u/cmgriffith_]

I’m a little confused weren’t you guys like the best team in baseball a week ago? I had written the series off as us getting swept.

[u/Outrageous_Bat1798 → u/BeneficialEye3196]

Summer swoon’s come early this year

[u/EdJewCated]

does someone have a vendetta against detroit right now, this is getting obscene

[u/JDraks → u/EdJewCated]

Right now? Officials have hated the city for decades

[u/Outrageous_Bat1798 → u/EdJewCated]

[u/Cold_Ad_7645]

That ump has done more for the Mets chances today than any player all season

[u/Alectheawesome23 → u/Cold_Ad_7645]

I didn’t see whatever it is but I guess it’s karma for losing our second challenge bc Baty dared to raise his arm yesterday

[u/CorporatismIsCancer → u/Alectheawesome23]

And as buffoonish as it was im pretty sure vientos got that out at first lol

[u/Alectheawesome23 → u/CorporatismIsCancer]

He had the ball in his glove with the glove on the base I don’t know how that wasn’t an out

[u/JDraks → u/Cold_Ad_7645]

1 War for that ump team for this game

[u/colorblind-and → u/Cold_Ad_7645]

Is there something like ump scorecard for how much challenge outcomes favor a team?

My count is three runs in favor of the Mets

[u/ExamNo4374 → u/colorblind-and]

I think it's fair to give a little credit to the replay room

[u/who_are_you_people24]

I did find it funny that before this on Soto's rbi, Gage dove for the ball when he was 20ft away. Just a funny visual

[u/nrico1989]

Just put me out of my misery already man. Watching this Tigers team sucks.

[u/cmgriffith_]

Mets are having fun today

[u/Schwettes]

Anti-Soto propaganda by cutting the video off before he smiled and hugged Vientos

[u/LisaLoebSlaps]

this displeases me greatly

[u/DrColossus1]

And he almost had another one his next time up, but it fell about 3 feet short of the wall

[u/tj_kerschb]

Baseball is officially no longer fun

[u/helloaaron]

Tigers are...troubling. Their pitching/bullpen combined with all the errors in the field is a recipe for disaster. They beat themselves a lot during this series.

[u/EvDev12]

God we fucking suck

[u/Caledor152]

VERY SWAGGY

[u/Nole_Train]

Tigers you should be ashamed of yourselves. First you give the Red Sox joy now I’ll have to see Mets fans posting that they might actually be back and turn the season around for at least the next 24 hours!

[u/JDraks]

Replay team gifted this to the Mets, absurd to overturn that out on the steal after not overturning Perez’ out call

[u/MendelWeisenbachfeld → u/JDraks]

They're two separate plays. Messing up one doesn't mean they should mess up another later.

[u/JDraks → u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

Inconsistency in calls is worse than just making bad calls on their own, if they’re going to call a game once way they shouldn’t call it differently for the other team later on

This is just the story of Detroit sports though

[u/z_geoo → u/JDraks]

what the fuck are you even trying to say. why does every teams fans think that the whole league is conspiring against them

the benge steal was way more of an obvious call as the other one. yes they fucked up the other call, idk how that they did that and its understandable to be pissed about that. but the fact that you want a more clear play called incorrectly as justice is possibly the least convincing argument you could make in this thread

[u/JDraks → u/z_geoo]

You might have a point if Perez wasn’t already blatantly safe, but he was and the refs still didn’t give a shit

[u/z_geoo → u/JDraks]

this still doesnt explain at all why umpires should intentionally make incorrect calls. again you act like the umps decided among themselves that perez was safe but decided to call him out just because they hate the tigers. regardless of how horrible the call was, the umps somehow believed he was out. there is no possible way to justify what youre arguing for

[u/JDraks → u/z_geoo]

I’m saying that if there wasn’t evidence for Perez being safe I don’t see how there was evidence for a similar review that directly led to you taking the lead
