Same place, very different story for Tigers' Game 2 starter Casey Mize

Cleveland – It would have been too cruel, really.

But AJ Hinch thought about taking Casey Mize out to the same spot at Progressive Field he did before the ALDS last year, when he informed him he was not on the roster for that series.

“I talked to Casey yesterday as he was in the clubhouse,” Hinch said. “I said, ‘Do you want to walk out to the exact spot where I told you that you weren't on the roster and you can exorcise that demon and be done with it?’”
