Detroit — We threw the question out on Twitter early Monday afternoon, while preparing to the write the obituary on the 2016 Tigers — a team with unquestionable mad talent, but also a maddening tendency to look awful for too many stretches.
If you could pick one game, out of the 161 played, that cost the Tigers a shot at a postseason ticket, which would it be?
The answers, as you can expect, included a wide variety of Francisco Rodriguez blown saves, and that’s fair. But too easy.
The question actually requires a bit more cognitive thinking.
