Pretty crazy stat

They have most always been in the same division no?

So the only chance has been in the wild card era

True. So before from 1995-2012 one would have to win the division and the other would have to win the only WC spot. So not too crazy.

The division series didn't start till 1995 so it was impossible before that time.

Glad he’s doing better after a year away.

@WiggyRuss I don't know if you saw this. Pretty cool letter by Kwan. Everything about him = Cleveland

yah that was pretty awesome....

I just hope there isnt too much rust.

I think the DL stint and the time off will have Kwan fully healthy which should help.

I hope Naylor and Jose deliver- and Thomas and Manzardo keep up their stellar runs they have been on.

I think if the Guardians play well they will win- I think the Guardians best is better than the Tigers best--- but baseball is a funny game- and momentum can mean a lot. We shall see.

Tigers play really similar to the Guardians- I feel like the Guardians have the better lineup and bullpen- but the Tigers have the best pitcher in baseball who could pitch 2 games out of 5. It will be interesting.

I have a wedding in Columbus tomorrow so im hoping to leave early and spend some time in a bar wth the family watching the game before the wedding starts later on. Buckeyes are in Columbus tomorrow too.

A much needed win with Skubal going in G2 and a possible G5. Boyd needs to pitch lights out in his start to give them a chance

Cade Smith was just nasty....he is giving me Andrew Miller from the right side vibes.

Clase in the 9th, Gaddis in the 8th, and Smith as your fire-man is crazy....they usually should not need a lot of runs to win games. I hope Boyd can keep it close for the first 4-5 innings tomorrow. That is all you can ask for against Skubal- esp. in the shadows.

Yeah keep it a one run difference to give them a chance through 5. Hope they can at least work the count against Skubal.

Pretty cool. Boyd was Skubal's mentor and friend while they were in Detroit.

The big bad Royals bought a playoff spot! Shame on them for not accepting 100 losses like a grown up small market club!
