Boston @ Tigers, Game #5

[biggunsbob]

Nice k By JJ .

Tiger 7th batters

7 Baddoo
8 Spencer T.
9 Dustin G.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baddoo is pulling off everything. He has gotta hand in there better.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer misses a easy cookie pitch .

Then K?s.

Then Dustin swings at the first pitch and pops out..

Man the bottom of our Order just isn?t hitting.
It?s real bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Another damn Tiger wild pitch

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange not sharp at all.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sloppy shit.

Single scores run easy Boston leads and our dumb ass center fielder is charging a ball that Devers isn?t going to run on, and he bobbles it so he can take 2nd. Just make the routine play AB.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange freaking sucked. Getting yanked.

 

[biggunsbob]

West gets a k then gives up a single 5-3 Boston. Bad day for the pen.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers lose 5-3. Had a 3-0 lead.

This is a bad loss.

Torkleson with the games first hit in the bottom of the 3rd, double, his first ML Hit

The record for most doubles by a Detroit Tigers rookie in the integration era is 34, by Austin Jackson in 2010.
Spencer Torkelson should make a good run at that this year.

Red Sox 5 - Tigers 3: Bullpen problems and too little offense.
The Tigers couldn?t hold an early lead, as the lack of length in the bullpen showed up to bite them.

Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.

Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you still going into offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom calls ? as you talk to your co-workers.

Here is today?s hot topic.
Spencer Torkelson was the #1 ranked baseball prospect in the 2020 draft. He was promoted to the Opening Day roster this year at the age of 22.

In his first 4 games, he had yet to get a hit. He did earn 3 BBs and struck out 7 times in 10 at-bats. In yesterday?s game, he earned his first major league hit.

Tork moved through the Tigers? system quickly, but he did struggle initially in Toledo, the AAA minor league level. He finished there hitting .238 in 40 games with 11 HRs and 27 RBIs.

How quickly do you believe it will take him to get acclimated to Detroit? How quickly will he become a productive part of the lineup?

When will Spencer Torkelson become a productive hitter for the Tigers?

1. Mid-summer

2. Near end of year

3. Next year

Hopefully
Mid-Summer or sooner ! He sees a lot of pitches so that?s good !
