You think Watson fooled them or his play in Houston was all bc of the perfect scheme and personnel? I mean even the BAL game last year I thought he might have turned a corner and he was close to form. Then he got injured
It's so tough to know what went down. Did the injury ruin him.....does he want to play his way out......did he just forget how to play......if he messed up in the head after his off field issues and the injury (I lean the latter)?

He actually played pretty well to really well in his last 3 complete games (all wins).

I think he was rusty, and then the amount of work needed to regain form was far harder than leaning into a villain role.

He doesn't give a shit. His teammates performance should tell us that.
Doesn't give a shit? That seems far fetched considering he played a half on a high ankle sprain AND with a broken bone and refuses to ask out of any games this season despite being pummelled.

There are plenty of facts you can use to rip the guy. No need to make things up.

Saw a few clips where Watson and Stefanski were clearly arguing today and Watson walked off the field at one point early in the 3rd.
Care to show those clips?

watson walking off the field was definitely odd though.

The Tigers have taken care of the Guardians.
Looks like this was written after Game 2 and I'd say props to them. Most comments I see from fans, as usual, is blame for someone and like usual it's the manager.....for leaving Clase in too long. Just wow.

I'll do something nuts and will simply credit the Detroit hitters (and pitchers) for coming through. same goes for game 3.

All the talk of trading Skubal and they keep him and went on a colossal run.
I mean, they did try to punt on the season by trading their #2 pitcher and others but props to the players/coaches for not letting it happen.

Scheme yes

Personnel….no

He has more talent around him in CLe by far

Stressful game but got the crucial game 3 W with Cole on the mound tomorrow
Game 4 but yeah. If Witt doesn’t break out it’s over tomorrow.

IF (yes IF) Detroit could make it past Cleveland. Theyre 3 and 0 against NY in the playoffs.

Completely irrelevant but fun trivia.
