TIGERS POSTCAST: ELIMINATED. Detroit Tigers LOSE To Seattle Mariners In 15-Inning Thrilling Game 5

This is the Tigers Post, your instant game reaction for the Detroit Tigers, part of the Locked On podcast network, your team every day. And that is how it all ends. The season comes to an end in epic fashion for one team. 3-2 the final. 15 innings later in the winner take all game number five. The Seattle Mariners advance to the ALCS with the win over the Tigers who are eliminated. Welcome into a live lockdown Tigers postcast. Thanks for staying up late. I am your host Jake Rema. You can follow me on Twitter, Jake_Rma, and this is your postgame destination for another 20 more minutes until we say goodbye for the entire season. Well, let’s go through everything that happened tonight um and break it all down. Carrie Carpenter, the only bat that showed up for the Detroit Tigers. An epic night for TKO and the decision to take him out after six innings. The bullpen blowing the 2-1 lead and eventually into 15 innings of baseball. Still trying to process it all and I’ll need your help for that as well. So, fire up that comment section. And I know there’s a lot of thoughts and a lot of discussion to be had. So, buckle up, dial it in. As always, I’ll have my biggest talking point, our turning point, and our player of the game as the Tigers season comes to an end in Seattle 32 after a marathon 15ining game. So, here we go. And I got to start with a lot. Listen, this might be a show that doesn’t necessarily stick to the format, if you will, and bounces all over the place, but it’s our last show of the year because the Tiger season is now done and we’re still trying to process everything that just happened. And that’s the beauty of an instant reaction show. But I think I got to start with the two people that this loss is not on. This loss is not on Teroo. This loss is not on Carrie Carpenter. So, let’s start with that. An epic performance from Trick Scooble. He set a record for the most strikeouts in by a Tigers pitcher in a postseason winner take all game. 13 of them to be exact. Six innings, two hits, just the one earned run. And Carrie Carpenter reached base uh six different times. Just incredible stuff from Carrie Carpenter. And of course, the two-run homer, the only reason the Tigers were even in that game and the only offense that this team could muster up. Um, Riley Green, Spencer Torqulson, Glaver Torres, a combined 0 for 24. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. And the most important game of the season, Riley Green, Spencer Tolson, and the entire offense with the exception of Carrie Carpenter. absolutely worthless. Glabber Torres 0 for six. Spencer Torlson, Riley Green, and Glabber Torres 0 for 24. You just can’t make it up. Colt Keith, I’m sorry, Colt Keith in there as well. Zack McKinstry had the one hit, one for six. Parker Meadows, um, we’ll bring him up as well. Looks like he he just can’t hit. guys can’t hit and it cost this team. And I was going back and forth with people on Twitter and yes, the offense, listen, make no mistake about the offense is the reason the Tigers season is over. There’s no other way around it. But AJ Hinch, the manager of the Detroit Tigers, deserves a lot of blame after tonight for a number of different reasons, but none bigger than removing TKO and taking him out of the game after 99 pitches in six innings. if he legitimately thinks the best chance to win that game and to hold the Mariners with just the one run and to hold the lead was to bring in a relief pitcher instead of the best pitcher in the world after 99 pitchers. I don’t know what else to say. I I just can’t process that. I can’t accept that you had TK Scooble could go one more inning and whether it was Will Vest going the eighth and the ninth or whatever combination you would point to. And I know you’re going to say Dirk Scubble is not the reason the pitching was good. Of course it was good. The pitching was amazing. The bullpen was amazing. You can’t be mad giving up three runs in 15 innings. But you can be mad having a 2-1 lead with the greatest pitcher on the planet on the mound, having struck out 13 guys in six innings and taking the ball out of his hand and going to your bullpen in the seventh inning. That’s what you can be mad about. And that’s how this season’s defined, like it or not. 162 plus games in the 162 games in the regular season, three games in the wildard series, and then five games in the divisional series. We’re going to remember that one decision, and you can’t convince me any other way. The Tigers are eliminated because AJ Hinch took Scubble out of the game. The Tigers are eliminated for a number of different reasons. Yes, the hitting being terrible. Riley Green being a no-show, Spencer Torqulson a no-show, Glaver Torres a no-show. But at the top of the list, all of that with all of those guys not showing up, you had a 2-1 lead because Carrie Carpenter, well, Jav Bayas gets a double and then Carrie Carpenter hits a two-run homer and you’ve got Ter Scoo on the mound. That’s it. That’s how you can simplify the result of the winner take all game five in Seattle. You had it. You had it. And I think Tiger fans deserve better. But I’ve been saying that the entire year. But now for holding other people responsible, yes, you have the bases loaded. You have so many opportunities. Seattle had so many opportunities. I mean, goodness almighty, you could go through that box score in especially in extra innings, inning after inning after inning. these two teams just taking turns playing, you know, the the set setting the table and unable to come up with the clutch hit. And I mean, I’m sure if I was doing the lockdown Mariners postgame show, I would talk about their inability to to get the clutch hit until they finally broke through in the 15th inning. And did I love seeing Tommy Canley on the mound in the 15th inning? Absolutely not. I don’t know what other option it was. Could Flareity have gone one more inning? Maybe. Um, I think that gives you a better shot to get through that inning than Tommy Canley does. In a way, it’s kind of appropriate that that’s how the season ended with the Tigers running out of pitching and not having any hitting because those were two areas that they refused to address at the trade deadline. Oh, maybe maybe Seaw could have helped us uh in that in that 15th inning. But it’s a major bummer. I’m sad. I’m disappointed. I’m heartbroken. I’m sure someone in the comments will say how cringe it is for how sad I am, and that’s fine. But what a journey. What a ride. Maybe this Tigers team in this front office will find ways to improve this baseball team. We know we’ll have a lot of prospects, a lot of good players coming up because Oh, yeah. They refused to trade any of them at the deadline. 130 plus comments to get to. I’m not going to have a chance to even get to a third of them and I apologize for that. Um, I’ll try and sort through. I think Vincent speaks for a lot of us. Heartbreaking. David Fly agrees with me saying, “F you, AJ. Taking the ball out of Scoo’s hand. Take your analytics, roll it up tight, and shove it up your A. This game is over a nine and I’m booking my flight to Toronto. David, that’s how I feel, man. You had a really good way to put it. Christian’s the guy I was fighting with on Twitter and fighting, having a good discussion. I don’t know how he doesn’t see the fact that if Scooble stays in the game, the Tigers win. Christian says, “Hey Jake, just curious. Just want to know how much blame you put on Hinch for pulling Scooble 1,800 bleeping innings ago and the lifeless offense we just watched.” Yeah, the offense was lifeless, Christian. The offense was terrible. It was putrid. It was pathetic. Two things can be true, dude. I don’t know how you can’t get that through your tiny little brain, Christian. Appreciate you watching, though. Rufus TCAT, he’s a regular putting on a Blue Jays hat for the next week. The Mermaids were horrible and they ain’t getting the pennet. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, I I don’t have anything against Seattle. A lot of their fans in the comments, they’re cool. It was a great great series. I mean, if you’re just a baseball fan, what you witnessed was pretty entertaining, but obviously it’s a little bit closer to the vest with us as Tiger fans. And it’s it’s just a representation of this season coming up short. This season, unfortunately, for so much good that there was, this season will be remembered by the team that choked away the biggest division lead in the history of the sport and then came up short in the ALDS. came up short and it was a roller coaster ride from Kameri Park being a morg on a playoff game to the epic turnaround and forcing a game five to Carrie Carpenters electric thrilling home run so clutch to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead to yanking Scubble out after six innings to both teams having tons of chances from the 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th and into the 15th before Seattle finally broke through. Thomas Rotandi upset with Riley Green, Spencer Torqulson, Colt Keith, Glaver Torres combined 0 for 24. That’s exactly it. And I don’t know what the future holds for this Tigers team. I really don’t. Because in one hand you think the future of this team is in the minor leagues in the prospects the Max Clarks McGongle everybody else and we all know that but at the same time putting your hope in that it just feels so empty and it’s probably because probably because this game just ended and everything feels lifeless and hopeless because that’s what sports do to you. But just a brutal, brutal conclusion to this one that felt fueled by poor managerial decisions by AJ Hinch. Thanks so much for tuning in. I appreciate every single one that tuned in all season long.

When this thing ends, we’re gonna go ahead and I’ll go ahead and read all of them. But AJ Hinch also, in addition to the unforgivable mistake and sin of taking Terubel out after six innings, he also didn’t go to anyone on the bench. I mean, it’s just the same guys going up to the plate and getting out at bat after at bat after at bat. Wel Perez just sitting on the bench, rotting away. Jamai Jones sitting on the bench rotting away. I mean, who is AJ Hinch? Who was he saving them for? I think the best tweet I saw all night is, “Good thing is going to be rested and ready to go for spring training because we’re taking him out after 99 pitches.” I mean, AJ Hinch all season long just Oh, I use so many different lineups. Chaos 15 in game. No lineup changes, no movements. Just trot the same guys out there over and over again. Ride with who we came with. Sure. Strike out. Strike out. Strike out. Spencer Torqulson 0 for six. Riley Green 0 for six. Colt Keith 0 for five. Labor Torres 0 for six. And of course, it wouldn’t be a show if I didn’t express my disdain for Scott Harris. But don’t worry, Eerie Seaw Wolves, West West Michigan White Caps, Toledo Mudhens, Lakeland Flying Tigers. Look out. We got the best minor league teams, but the Tigers are going home. So, this is our last locked on Tigers postcast, which is really sad. Make sure you check out the daily show with Scott Bentley. And seriously, the discussion, the discourse, the arguments, the laughs, it’s been a heck of a ride. Year number two of doing Locked on Tigers postgame shows. I hope they don’t cancel them. We’ll keep doing the Locked On Lions squad show. Make sure you check that out. But the Locked On Tigers post come to an end. just as the Tiger season comes to an end. And the most depressing part, yeah, how much longer will Terrick Scubble be a Tiger? I don’t know. Love to hop on some of the uh daily shows with Scott Bentley. Maybe sometime I’ll hit him up and say, “Hey, have me on your show. I’d love to talk more Tigers because I’m just watching that clock go.” And I know that my time as the lockdown Tigers postgame host is coming to an end. Just as the Tigers season came to an end, the opportunities were out there to be had for both teams really. I mean, the baseball gods were turning over in their graves watching the last couple of those innings. Let’s be honest. But appreciate everybody’s comments coming in here. Shout out to my guy DJ. DJ the bucker right here. You demand, Jake. No, you demand. Go Scots by the way as well. Super Morty man says, “What a season. They blew it for themselves tonight.” They did. But I also I I should have said this at the beginning. The players gave it everything they had. It was an epic a game of epic proportions. There’s no doubt about that. A winner take all game five 15 innings. Absolutely epic. But they just came up short. And I wish AJ Hench wouldn’t have taken out Terk Scooel. All right, it is late. It is really late. It’s 1:40 in the Eastern time zone. I’ll be on Locked on Lions Sunday night. Sunday Night Football postgame show on the Locked On Lions channel. No Locked On Wolverines for me this weekend. Got a wedding, not mine, but a wedding to attend. lot of college football tomorrow. If you’re a college football fan, I’m on Fan University and here in Dallas and we’ll just be spectators watching playoff baseball, the Mariners and Blue Jays. Game one, Sunday night, 7 o’clock on Fox. Appreciate you guys. Shout out to the real ones, the Everydayers, R1, VJ4. Thanks for a great year, Jake. You are awesome. You guys are awesome. Couldn’t do the show without you guys. and very seriously talked to my lockdown boss today. Couldn’t be happier with the product of the MLB postgame show with the lockdown Tigers post guests. And that’s that’s I I wouldn’t be blowing smoke because they don’t say that about every show. So, even though the season comes to an end tonight, 2025, man, the highs and lows, the highs and lows, lots to be lots to be excited about, some things to be optimistic about because like I said, we still got a lot of young upand cominging talent. I can’t wait for opening day already. All right, have a good night. Love you guys. Tigers lose season over.
