Being a fake fan is such an emotional rollercoaster - torn between objective assessment's of the team's performance and apprehension of receiving an online tirade from a real fan for doing so!

Staying a “believer”, but this is getting embarrassing these last 2-3 weeks.

Another great start from Charlie Morton. JV, remind what his stats were in that magical 12 game stretch before the deadline. I need a real fan's perspective right now.

Good question. Go ask in the Yankees thread!

Tigers in a bad spot and you fail to acknowledge it. If they even hold and make the playoffs, they'll be an early exit yet again.

This might be the most I've ever seen you come to a real sports conversation before! Good for you!!

I acknowledge that they look like they've given up, maybe not in this thread, but we're all doing cute bits I'm sticking to mine. If they get in, they have as much of a chance as anyone. They have the best pitcher on the planet.

JV, if you can't look at this objectively and call it out for what it is - an epic choke job in the making - then I don't know what to tell you.

I would pinch hit for Greene here with bases loaded bottom 5 with 2 outs!

Absolutely comical now!! Up 3-5 in the 8th, now losing 6-5 in the top of 9. Hopefully we can figure this out by when the wild card game comes around. We have talent, just not executing often enough at the highest level.

They are only .5 game up on the Astros/Red Sox. There is a real chance if they don't win the division, they aren't in the playoffs.

They have 3 games with Boston and Cleveland. No excuses, they have the opportunity to put away the competition directly.

You know they hear it. Tork was pumped with his homer. Brutal loss today.

McKinstry — .199 / .263 / .349 (OPS: .612)

Baez — .213 / .221 / .299 (OPS: .520)

Torres — .218 / .325 / .347 (OPS: .672)

Tork has become their best player and guy I trust the most. What a turn of events.
