Well said man it’s a great time let’s motivate the boys and stand on business

We’ve been on the roller coaster, glad you’re back.

Glad you are back man! Time for the tigers to make the playoffs and end this dreadful 9 year playoff drought tied for longest in the mlb with the lowly Angles…

We can finally watch the Tigers in the Postseason for the first time since 2014 if they make it

Sweeny replacing Baez has been crucial

[@ShadowWizard123]

Imagine someone on your staff at work who did none of the work but made more money than the rest of you combined. That's demoralizing. I'm glad Baez is not playing anymore.

[@Hagen-s7y]

Go Tigers!!

Hey man long time no see! Its been so exciting watching tigers baseball this past month, i still cannot believe that we have a chance to get into the playoffs!! Im worried though because the twins actually play the marlins and that series could potentially get them back on track, i mean.. they could literally sweep the marlins. I dont want it to come down to the wire where the tigers need to beat the white sox 2 times and then they choke the wild card away just how they choked at the end of 2016. Them facing one of the worst teams in baseball at the time which was the atlanta braves and they lost the series away was just devastating. I really hope we finally get to see Tiger Postseason baseball again, but if they dont make it in, this season was still a sucess in my book since they finally finished above 500. Since 2016.

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@keithcornett1624 yeah, it’s insane. Here’s to hoping. They have everything set up to do it.

[@waynethayer5127]

Tigers are definitely playing on house money. Just like we have the new Lions, this the new Tigers, get used to these names they are here for a while. I think pitching will definitely be a target, and the when pitchers are resurrecting their careers I Detroit, we could be watching the start of something special just like the Lions. The Tigers has boasted a strong farm system for a while now, we are now seeing the fruits of that labor. These kids are fun to watch. Bless These Boys!

[@steveroe6771]

This young group of Tigers reminds me of another young group of Tigers. Guys named Morris, Petry, Trammell, Whitaker, Brookens, and Gibson. They all came up within a few years of each other, and look what happened.

[@CoreyLeland]

Speaking of a boost to the lineup, how great is it to see Jung and Dingler figuring it out?

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@CoreyLeland Dingler had that big hit the other day but he’s still looked a bit lost. He’s hasn’t really squared a ball in a while. I think Jung could be a real problem here for teams if he’s starting to tap into his power.

[@CoreyLeland]

@@JustinVerlander35 Good to see you here again. Enjoyed the commentary. I was born in Detroit and been a fan all my life...(since the 1960's) I don't remember a season being this exciting, ever.

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@CoreyLeland thanks man. More videos to come in the coming days/weeks. I was in a band and have had life things going on keeping me from doing stuff this year. It’s settled down a bit so I’ll make some more stuff.

[@Roy-mw5js]

I watched the Tigers win world series in 68 when I was 6. My first sports memory. They haven't won a WS since 84. I've seen a lot of bad baseball. You seem pretty young. My advice is to treat baseball fanship like a baseball season. Don't get too high or low. Going to be a lot of good seasons and a lot of bad ones. Keep believing and you'll be rewarded one day.😊

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@Roy-mw5js been watching baseball for 22 years and have a very strong grasp on baseball history. I get how it works. I know how a season goes. This is the first time in a decade they’re in this spot. I’m going to enjoy every second.

The Twins are at home to play the Marlins for 3 next and then they’ll head to Baltimore for the final 3 games. Go Tigers!!!

Problem with predicting wins and losses according to strength of schedule is very simple dude...sports is unpredictable.....so I'm just taking things game by game and that's it....anything can happen in the last week.

[@Hagen-s7y]

Skubal will be pitching twice this week

[@walterbriggs6657]

Let’s hope just once so he’s good to go for a playoff game 1!

[@ShadowWizard123]

To answer your question about why Foley was trying to close out that game Saturday night rather than Holton, Holton was actually the opener that day. He pitched the first 2 innings.

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@ShadowWizard123 incorrect. He was in fact warming up in the 9th. Reese Olson started the game. This was the order of pitchers Olsen > Hurter > Vest > Gunther > Foley > Brieske. Holton was the opener for the last game of the series.

[@ShadowWizard123]

@JustinVerlander35 oh shoot you're right. He was the opener for the Sunday game. I got them mixed up. But yeah that probably explains why they didn't want to use him Saturday night.

[@JustinVerlander35]

@@ShadowWizard123 but they had him warming because of the group of lefties at the top. It doesn’t make sense to let foley face their most dangerous lefty.

[@ShadowWizard123]

@JustinVerlander35 yeah I see what you mean. I'm just glad they somehow won that game cuz it was honestly a minor miracle what Brieske pulled off. Go Tigers. Thanks for the great video.
