It's always great to beat a team that cheats. I hope we can do the same when the regular season ends vs. the cheaters in boston.

It's hard to call out the Astros for cheating, when the Tigers hired the manager that was in charge when they were cheating

I know what you're saying, but he didn't want any part of it.
Cora and the previous GM? were the biggest ones involved in it with the players.
To this day Cora, is cheating with the red sox. Skubal called him out on it a few days ago in a story in the Detroit news media, with the sox first and third base coaches way outside of the coach's boxes to see what the signs are from the catcher and relaying to the sox batters. Rules prohibit coaches from standing outside of those boxes.

Tigers get some out of town breaks tonight !

Diamondbacks score 1 in the ninth on a homer and walk it off in extra innnings. 3-2 over Guardians.

Rangers score 1 in the 7th to tie KC 3-3 and with 2 outs in the top of the ninth they get a walk, error, infield hit. Then a bases clearing
double and they win 6-3. Baseball is strange .
