I love Iggy more than most people...but god damn, wtf?

 

[kmd47]

he slipped ya dope

to be fair he did throw the ball as he was falling he should have held out to it at least but he was pretty much dead after anyways so either way i think we were screwed

 

[sggatecl]

Now do we let Frank off the hook since he got the DP ball or no because he had freaking bases loaded 0 out in a 1 run game...

Hell no. Iggy fucked up but that situation should never happen in the first place.

 

[SpartyNash]

The throw was RIGHT over the bag Iggy had terrible footwork and then THROWS THE BALL FROM THE GROUND no ones fault but his

Looked like kinslers throw was too far out in front for Iglesias. Regardless yes the bulk of that is on iggy no doubt

 

[gotime909]

he slipped ya dope

I don't..frank should just retire he had a good career but he's way too hitable now.

[lonesometiger]

One of the best 4 6 3 DP's I've seen mess up!

 

[tigermud]

Frankly I'm surprised this team has won 8 games so far out of 14

 

[nsonnett14]

Nothing changes the fact K-Rod is done , make J Wilson the closer

He did induce the ground ball for the DP!

ROARS:
Nicholas Castellanos: He hit a triple in his first at-bat, then delivered a bases-clearing triple in the sixth on a misplayed line drive by Kevin Kiermaier.

Justin Wilson: Another day, another hitless inning for the Tiger’s setup man.
Justin Wilson struck out the side in order in the eighth inning.
Wilson now has pitched 7 1⁄3 hitless, scoreless innings on the year with three walks and 11 punchouts.
Since joining the Tigers in 2016, Wilson has pitched 17 1/3 scoreless innings in the the month of April, allowing just seven hits and striking out 25.

HISSES:
Defense: The first ball put in play by the Rays was a lazy fly ball that fell harmlessly between JaCoby Jones and Tyler Collins.
Miscommunication between the two led both to pull up short and give Corey Dickerson a gift leadoff double.
The Rays would then score their first run off an infield dribbler to Nick Castellanos, who couldn't make a play for any out and chose to hang onto the ball.
In the third inning, a fly ball barely into left-center also dropped, as Ian Kinsler mysteriously veered off from the path.
Neither Jones nor Collins were in position to make the play.
The last play of the game saw one of the most sure-handed double play combinations in baseball flub, as Jose Iglesias throw wildly after stumbling, allowing the winning runs to score.

Bunting: In the top of the sixth with the first two runners on base, Jones popped up a bunt to Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, who smartly let the ball drop after Jones hesitated out of the box. This left the runners hung out to dry for an easy double play. Worse yet, reliever Danny Farquhar had not yet thrown a strike in the inning.

Bullpen: Same old story: tight game, key guys struggle. Alex Wilson gave up rockets left and right, but escaped only allowing one run.
Francisco Rodriguez loaded the bases with no one out to start the ninth. He would go to a 3-2 count on Souza before getting a questionable called third strike from home plate umpire Larry Vanover. He did induce what should have been a game-ending double play, but it was not to be, and his poor outing cost the Tigers a much-needed win.

STATS AND INFO:
The Tigers consecutive home run streak came to an end tonight. They set a franchise record with home runs in the first 13 games but finished 1 shy of tying the 2002 Cleveland Indians who opened with 14 staright games with a long ball.

The two triples by #Blastellanos marked the first two triple game by a Tigers players since Austin Jackson hit a pair on August 5th, 2012,
and the first by a Tigers third baseman since Travis Fryman did it in the 1994 season.

It was the first time the Tigers lost on a game-ending error since Aug. 1, 2010, when right-hander Robbie Weinhardt committed an error.
