    Considering his stuff, I wonder if he has potential long-term as a closer or setup man.
    Thank God for the shorter rotation in the playoffs. I don't know who Hinch will move to the bullpen, but they desperately need another trustworthy reliever.

    I think Morton/colin would be reliable in the pen.

    Morton would probably sit 97-98 mph with a couple pitches to work off of.

    So, you think Martes would have been pitching in a playoff game? Hinch would not have done that.

    I honestly like Hinch. He is the perfect leader for this team.

    Sometimes he thinks a bit too hard for my liking and it causes a bit of mistrust. Had no issue with Martes there.

    Moose gave up that homer but he was the hero today. Nice job putting out the fire!

    Gave up a run...too shaky...don't trust him.

    Really fortunate that Musgrove seems to be excelling in this role, because everything else before Giles has been extremely wobbly. Although Devo is looking better.

    First 90 win season since since I was in High School, feels good.

    Lineup protection is a real thing.

    Changed it up a little.
    This is how I feel.

    Starting pitching version:

    Trust:
    Verlander
    Peacock

    Somewhat Trust:

    Morton
    McHugh

    Don't trust:

    Keuchel (can't stay healthy)
    McCullers (can't stay healthy)

    In the postseason I think it'll be:
    Verlander
    Keuchel
    Peacock
    McHugh

    I'm sure McCullers will still be injured. If not, he should be in the pen. Dude will be rusty as hell.

    Batting title isn't over.

    Garcia only trailing 13 points at .334.

    Three game winning streak !!! Better than losing.

    Main thing is health for the playoffs. We got game.

    Before the game, Verlander seemed to be giving tips to Musgrove- which worked! (well, except for the HR):
