There was a moment in the fifth inning of this game, with the Brewers leading by 10 runs, when I questioned whether or not MLB should consider a mercy rule to put Tigers fans specifically out of their misery.
Are crazy comebacks possible? Sure. Are they incredibly fun to watch? Absolutely. Was one going to happen in this game? Mmmmm, no.
I don’t even want to recap this game because it was so miserable to watch I don’t want to force any of you to go through it, but here we are.
The pitching matchup was Reese Olson up against Tobias Myers.
