Tony. How you celebrate? I'm Tony Kornheiser. I took myself to the spa for a good dusting. What, do they have like a duster in a spa? Yeah. I missed that. Yeah. It's sort of like running through a car wash. Oh, okay. Just dry. They, you know, they dust you because you're moldy. Some lemon plaid.

The Tigers needed a win to advance. twice and Steve Young joins us for five good minutes but we begin again today with the tigers and

1:11.8

the guardians the tigers needed a win to advance and they had a chance until the bottom of the

1:16.5

eighth when the guardians put up five went on to win six one that sets up a winner take all tomorrow

1:22.0

afternoon Wilbon what does your take away from this one well Tony it's again pitching and I know

1:26.2

there are other dynamics in this game and we'll get to him.

1:28.5

Yesterday, it was scoobo, scoble. Scooble. Today, Bybee got him into the fifth. He went four and two thirds. He gave up one earned, five hits, but one earned. And then you get these relief pitchers. Five Guardians relief pitchers. I thought you hated that.

1:43.2

Give up two hits.

1:43.9

I thought you wanted starters to go to the seventh and act.

1:45.9

I do, but I don't like bullpen days.

1:49.1

Oh, okay. This was not a bullpen day. It became. It became that. But Bibi goes out there. He starts the

1:54.6

capable guy. Yeah. And they depend on him. And he goes, he gets him at least into the fifth, and then they go with the

2:02.3

relievers. It's still pitching October baseball. Those games yesterday sort of led into the beginning

And you say to yourself, okay, that's all we're going to get. We got to see, do we have a closer? All we need is three outs. Can we exhale at some point? But then they get more runs, more home runs, more runs. So then it becomes very, very easy. The difference between this game and the game before yesterday's game was that the pitching, the scuba pitching and all of that lasted longer into the game but to me this is sort of the way this series is supposed to go because i know i know you don't want to hear this that it's regional even though i think it's regional but you get the sense that you're sort of in a loop this is the eighth game well we've seen with these two teams in three weeks. I was fine with this series.
