Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Jordan Zimmermann threw a simulated game on Friday as he works his way back from a UCL sprain. He has another bullpen session on Sunday, followed by a rehab start with High-A Lakeland on Wednesday.
The Tigers are likely disillusioned of any notions for contention in 2019, but getting Zimmermann back in action could still provide dividends, either as a veteran influence in a young locker room, as an innings eater in the rotation,
or the best case scenario, as trade bait.
Zimmermann is owed $25MM next season, but that?s likely a sunk cost even if they could drum up some interest in the veteran righty. Given the 5.29 ERA that marks Zimmermann?s Detroit tenure, there may not be a ?return to form? for the 33-year-old, but if there?s anything to spark hope in a Zimmermann revival, it would be good health.

June 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1891: Charles 'Old Hoss' Radbourn of the Cincinnati Reds wins his career 300th game by beating the Boston Beaneaters at South End Grounds, 10 - 8. Radbourn, who will finish 488 of the 502 games he started, will end his 11-year career this season with 309 victories.

1915: At the Polo Grounds, Babe Ruth and the well-traveled Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees, 7 - 1. It is the last stop on a 29-day road trip for the Red Sox. Ruth allows five hits and hits his second career home run, a three-run shot off Jack Warhop in the 2nd inning. After his homer, Ruth receives two intentional walks. He ends up kicking the bench and breaking his toe, sidelining him for two weeks.

1925: 21-year-old Lou Gehrig starts a game for the New York Yankees when regular first baseman Wally Pipp is hit in the head during batting practice and complains of a headache - in fact a concussion. Gehrig collects three hits in five at-bats, helping the Yankees to an 8 - 5 victory over the Washington Senators. Gehrig will go on to play in a major league record 2,130 consecutive games, a record since broken by Cal Ripken with a streak of 2,632.

1925: White Sox come back from 15-5 to tie the game, but Ty Cobb hits a walk-off home run for the 16-15 win.

1933: The Detroit Tigers traded Whit Wyatt to the Chicago White Sox for Vic Frazier.

1935: Babe Ruth of the Boston Braves announces his retirement from baseball. Struggling with a .181 batting average at the time, he retires with 714 home runs, by far the most in major league history. Ruth will gain election to the Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class next year.

1941: Lou Gehrig dies of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the age of 37 in New York. From that time on, the illness wll be known primarily as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". Gehrig saw his major league record of 2,130 consecutive games played end because of the disease. It was on this day exactly 16 years ago that he broke into the Yankees' starting line-up.

1942: Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox enlists as a Naval Aviator. Williams will finish the season with his team, as will many other players who enlisted or await the draft, which moves slowly despite the early discouragements of the war.
Other American League regulars of 1941 enlisted in the military service include Johnny Berardino, Sam Chapman, Bob Feller, Joe Grace, Buddy Lewis, Pat Mullin, Johnny Rigney, Johnny Sturm and Cecil Travis.

1950: George Kell of the Detroit Tigers hits for the cycle in the 16 - 5 second-game sweep of a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Athletics. The Tigers win the opener, 8 - 2, behind the pitching of Ted Gray and home runs by Vic Wertz and Hoot Evers. Wertz has five runs batted in in the opener, and two more in the second game.

1952: The Detroit Tigers signed Johnny Hopp as a free agent.

1958: The Baltimore Orioles purchased Lou Sleater from the Detroit Tigers.

1967: The Detroit Tigers released Johnny Klippstein.

Kansas City pitchers allow just six runs in the series. It is the third time in their storied history the Yankees have been swept in three games by the team with the worst record in the major leagues. The other times were in 2000, by the Detroit Tigers, and 1937 by the Philadelphia Athletics. The Royals had gone 78 series without sweeping anyone, the longest drought in the majors since the Phillies went 79 series without a sweep in 1996 and 1997.

Galarraga takes the throw in time to retire Donald but first base umpire Jim Joyce rules the runner safe. As a result, the Tiger righty loses a perfect game. After the game, Joyce admits his mistake and the next day he and Galarraga meet at home plate in a sign of sportsmanship.

2010: Ken Griffey Jr. announces his retirement after 22 seasons in the major leagues. Hitting only .184 in part-time duty for the Mariners, he retires with 630 career home runs and six seasons of 40 or more homers.
Most of his career was spent with Seattle and the Cincinnati Reds.

2015: The Milwaukee Brewers selected Hernan Perez off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

The Good
Nick Ramirez continues to quietly be one of the best pitchers in the Tigers? bullpen. He did not allow a runner in two innings of work, striking out two and lowering his ERA to 2.50.

The Bad
Detroit?s top five hitters in the lineup ? Niko Goodrum, Christin Stewart, Castellanos, Brandon Dixon and John Hicks ? combined for 15 runners left on base. It is hard to win games when the guys who are supposed to carry the offensive load are not driving in their runs.

The Ugly
With three on Sunday, the Tigers have committed 13 errors in their last 10 games.
