I feel like I should be entitled to compensation for staying up for last night’s game. I haven’t woken up at 10 am since maaaaybe college?? I feel like I’m hung over, and I’m not even a tigers fan. This is awful. 😂 😭

K, where are we all doing brunch now?

Literally any Yankees fan would tell you put ANYONE in but Kahnle in that situation. Hell, call up Phil Coke, see what he’s up to.

As a Yankee fan who knows Kahnle well: my thoughts and prayers are with you, Tigers fans.

Can we move the foul poles or something?

I married into this. My team was eliminated days ago, I could be sound asleep right now dreaming of next year.

Aka your feed is west coast time zone people and east coast people 😆

It’s time to incorporate some Bananaball rules into this. The W goes to whoever scores the most trick play points.

FOX keeps saying that the Blue Jays are watching from a couch somewhere… Sir, it’s 12:44 am out here, they are ASLEEP. They’ve got a ballgame in like, a day from now.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

After a week of forcing Tigers fans to get the crappy early game times why couldn’t they have gotten the crappy early game time tonight?

Alyssa T. @awolice.bsky.social · 12h

I literally don’t remember the last time I was awake this late by choice.

Alyssa T. @awolice.bsky.social · 12h

😂 I do remember getting made fun of for bringing a thicker jacket and then EVERYONE around me had to buy stuff at the fan store just to survive.

If this goes into the 14th, I’m legit making scrambled eggs and toast. Eff it. If I can’t go to bed, I’m getting a head start on breakfast. Maybe I’ll even walk the dog.

Alyssa T. @awolice.bsky.social · 13h

Same! And I ate two different full meals at that game.

I was at that game. I do not recommend this.

Longest postseason game is 18 innings, let's go for it gang

At what inning do we just eliminate both teams and allow the Yankees a rematch against Toronto for the CS?

Ball hit the bat first

Victor Robles attempting a bunt, the ball is hitting the bat and there is a slight compression of it where they meet

There, now that entire sequence doesn’t matter and we’re all one inning closer to death

OMG HOW DID THE TIGERS GET OUT OF THAT?!?

😂 😆 🤡 😂 😭

WHAT A GARBAGE CALL.

My 6-year-old self didn’t even watch the 1995 ALDS, but I’m getting retroactive trauma from all these damn highlights of it.

Alyssa T. @awolice.bsky.social · 13h

We’re approaching “maybe I’ll revise my views on the ghost runner” territory

Alyssa T. @awolice.bsky.social · 14h

I’m married to a Tigers fan, so this game offers all the familiar anxiety but with none of the hope of seeing my team on the other side.

Tarik Skubal has 5 strikeouts of 100+ mph this postseason

That’s the most by any starting pitcher in a postseason career in the pitch-tracking era (2008)

Only pitchers with MORE postseason 100+ mph Ks in span:

Aroldis Chapman: 41
Kelvin Herrera: 9
Trevor Rosenthal: 9
