The Detroit Tigers are officially eliminated from postseason contention, bringing the playoff chase to an end with just a handful of games remaining. In this episode, we recap the Tigers’ recent trip to Chicago to face the White Sox, look back at where things went wrong down the stretch, and discuss what—if anything—is still worth watching as Detroit plays out the final days of the season.

We also look ahead to what should be an emotional moment for Tigers fans: Justin Verlander’s upcoming farewell start. We reflect on Verlander’s place in Tigers history, what he has meant to the franchise and its fans, and why this final appearance could provide one last memorable moment in an otherwise disappointing finish to the season.
