Tigers declared 'done' by radio host after sweep
19 Aug
Summary
- Radio host declared Detroit's season over after White Sox sweep.
- Tigers manager Hinch maintains faith in team's character.
- Detroit secured an 8-5 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.
A Chicago radio host has delivered a stark assessment of the Detroit Tigers' playoff aspirations, declaring their season effectively over after a weekend sweep by the Chicago White Sox. "The Tigers lurk? No, the Tigers tiptoed away," stated David Haugh of 670 The Score, describing the team as "lame" and "done."
Haugh contrasted this with the White Sox, whom he believes are "just getting started" and are firmly in control of the American League Central Division. He further commented that the Tigers' demise was "good for baseball."
Despite this public pronouncement, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch remains optimistic. Hinch emphasized the team's deep character, forged over multiple seasons of "day-to-day grind," and expressed unwavering faith in their ability to compete.
On Monday evening, the Tigers demonstrated resilience by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5 at PNC Park, snapping a three-game losing skid and achieving a record of 61-64. This victory placed them in a tie for the final Wild Card playoff spot.
