Listen "A Collapse of Epic Proportions (Reprise)"
Episode Synopsis
What a difference a week makes. On September 8, the Tigers were 9.5 games ahead of Kansas City. Now, the 2025 Detroit Tigers, as of this day, are in the EXACT same position as the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies -- 5.5 games in first place with 11 games to play, and they lost the National League pennant to the Cardinals. The present second-place team is the red-hot Cleveland Guardians. This podcast measures the Tigers' chances of maintaining its precarious hold on first place and also presents a case as to why the Guardians have a legitimate shot at catching Detroit. I also claim that a baseball season is not a marathon, but a series of sprints, and the Tigers, after jumping out in front by a wide margin, are fading in the home stretch.
