Damn. Good insight and you were right about Saturday. Yankees will always choose to play the next day after a marathon game. Good luck to Tigers next season. Two Voices | Two Guys

I’m not crying but if I want to I certainly will. I’ve invested enough of my time and money into this team over the years. People like you who can’t even acknowledge that the manager they love made a mistake are a huge problem with sports. Other decisions can be debated, this one is clear. WHy are you afraid to admit that Leyland made a mistake? What about starting Figaro last night, are you behind that awful decision as well?

Get the rose colored glasses off. This team should be booed out of Comerica Park. I can`t believe the fans are putting up with this. This is Jason Grilli times 10. Chokers!!!!!!!!

What a group of choke artists. They all should be ashamed. I feel sorry for Leyland for having to manage these spoile, overpaid underachievers!!!

There are NO CIRCUMSTANCES, short of the guy being unable to play, that you play Everett over Polanco. None. I understand the bs reasons Leyland gave. THey were idiotic.

He’s not dumb. You just don’t understand the circumstances for POLANCO NOT PLAYING!!!!!!!!

Good. keep Santiago in the lineup. At SS. Play Polanco. You do NOT arbitrarily give the guy a rest with 4 games to go and a chance to clinch the division. In no scenario does Adam Everett in the lineup give you your best chance to win. JL is dumb.

And there you have it. Twins get a walk. Sac moves the runner to second. Grounder moves the runner to third. Mauer started down 0-2 then delivered a run scoring single. Twins up 1-0.

There’s no correlation between the two games. IMO it would’ve been a pyschological boost for the team on that given day. You know…send a message we’re here to wrap this thing up. That’s how most of us felt that day anyway.

If you don’t think JL puts out the best team that he thinks can win, then you just don’t get it either. (remember the day before when Santiago had the 2 run single to put us ahead 4-2?)
