All right, we're taking the off day just to kind of put a bow on it.

Tigers are going to resume to action tomorrow.

They have scuba on the mound, angels in town.

The pitching lines up really well.

Scoobel, Morton, Mize.

Just take two or three, for God's sakes.

But the next 10 games are going to be the evaluation period for me where I could go from concern to panic.

I mean, you just can't have an endless loop that at the end of this 10 game run, that if you don't play above 500 baseball, you're an under 500 team over 70 games.

That's kind of who you are.

And you would look at the extension of what started as a losing 12 of 13 into a four-game

win streak, into losing two more series, including as Rico put it, to a AAA team.

Here's the other thing.

The Tigers have lost seven of their last eight series overall.

You just haven't been good.

And the secret to their formula early was they just won all of their series except for like two or three.

Now, the other factor in this, and I'll get to the callers, I am going to factor in.

Cleveland is playing above their heads.

You can't play 700 baseball for three straight months.

So I do believe there would have to be a slowdown.

It's why I gave people the number.

12 and 27 is what it took for the twins to do what they did.

Show me these 10 games.
