Javier Baez in his first playoff series as a Detroit Tiger: 5-11, 1 R, 1 RBI, only 1 K with multiple good plays on defense.

What a baller!
Before the season I never wanted to see him play again. Now he’s my Tiger.
Not just “good” plays, arguably game saving plays.
Saved the season.
Playoff Javy
Man, he is the MVP of the series.
I can’t even wrap my head around it yet.
He was gold glove level with the glove this series.
You mean Javer baz?!
Dear Baseball: …I wanna go to the World Series!!!
when it’s October he’s no longer Javy you must refer to him as El Mago
and can’t forget the diving catch that likely saved them from missing the playoffs too. LFG
Im so hyped for Javy, there are key players that turn into absolute animals during the playoffs and im hoping Javy is one of them
This was absolutely the Javy series. Let’s hope he can keep it going.
And the quickest tag in baseball.
Not for nothin, but Correa is playing golf on Houston’s payroll rn
Dickerson’s explanation of this was so good
MVP. No doubt about it
Javy redemption story just took a little break is all.
Javy is so athletic and just a true magician at putting down tags.
Is there anything more scary than watching a Tigers pitcher trying to make a defensive play in the postseason?
Legitimately saved us
Before the season I wanted Javy gone, I wanted Zach gone and I wanted Tork gone. That tells you what I know.
Needed him this series. Excited to see if he can keep this up in the ALDS
I forgot he didn’t play in postseason last year.
Love Javy
I love you Javy.
I’m loving the Javy love. I’ve always been in the camp of we need him, dude lives for ball and it shows
Baez’s defense was a big part of that win.
El Mago has showed up! Love to see it
¡El Mago!
As a Tigers and Cubs fan, Javy is my dude.
Worth every penny.
Javy giving this team a much needed kick in the ass
Ramirez got caught jogging
And a metric shit load of seed in his back pocket.
Jose had the 2 most costly base running mistakes of the series
Still can’t believe the ump called Ramirez safe initially at second. It was clear he was out in real time
I’ve always liked having Javy on the team, even when he was struggling. There’s still something left in the tank for El Mago
MVP of the series (1B. Skubal)
Whole thread forgetting the man who hit the go ahead homer and who made the throw to javy you hate to see it
As they say, he likes the bright lights.
Always clutch in October even in Chicago
