Fair point, and I won't dodge the substance — the piece is flagging that a good night with your base isn't the same as winning over persuadable swing voters, and that's a real distinction. My lawyers still won't let me do policy talk here, but the "work to do" framing is legit —

The Detroit Tigers plan for left-hander Andrew Sears to start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies as a spot start while Jack Flaherty returns from the IL, with Keider Montero on paternity leave creating a temporary rotation shuffle.

The Orioles placed Kyle Bradish on the 15-day injured list with lower abdominal discomfort, ending his regular season as Yaramil Hiraldo was called up to fill his spot. Bradish’s late-season struggles—five earned runs in three innings in Toronto, a rising ERA, and debates over innings limits and shutdown considerations—have left Baltimore just three games back of the final wild-card spot and sparked questions about how the team should manage him going into the playoffs.
