Game 110 KC Royals @ Detroit Tigers August 1st, 2024 3:40 p.m. MST

Hanifee ball seems real easy to hit out of his hand.

 

[biggunsbob]

I can’t stand any central team. Will not be rooting for any of them.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Sigh.

 

[biggunsbob]

Very nice play by Kreidler and nice pick by Colt.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm starting to question this team.

 

[biggunsbob]

About to be a 1-5 home stand once this game is over.

Just had a Tough split 2-2 at Cleveland before this home stand. We had won 2 of 3 from the dodgers and blue jays.

Just think we were 1 game below .500 when this losing skid happended.

Our hapless hitting instructors . Never teach tiger hitters how to hit the
Slow stuff.

Lost 9-3. Minnesota
Won 7-2 Minnesota
Lost 5-0 Minnesota
Lost 8-4 Cleveland
Lost 5-0 Cleveland
Lost 7-1 tonight Kc

I know we have less than a triple A roster playing because of injuries.

 

[Mitchrapp]

7-1 is too much. My hope is now gone.

 

[gotime909]

Tork homered again tonight 441 ft bomb. Liranzo has 2 walks and a double in his first 3 plate appearances for West Michigan.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Liranzo super stud. I'm waiting for him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Last season
Tigers
10-3 verses Kc
8-5 verses Chicago
8-5 verses Minnesota
9-4 verses Cleveland.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tork and meadows should be called up soon hopefully.

 

[biggunsbob]

Clark is 2 for 4 with 2 runs for wm. Up 5-3 in the top of the 8th.

Yes, we're missing that .131 average. Unless the guy who gets demoted is McKinstry .. I rather see others play.

Anyone should play over Kriedler and mckinstry. Including Meadows and Tork.
Meadows did well after being sent down. May as well find or if he can stick or we need to move on from him. See if the hammy has healed. At least meadows hit a few homers. Something ZM can’t do lol. Tork has picked it up recently. Just like last year.

I want to see players like Vilade, and Madris to see if they can play in the show. You need to see them to evaluate them. Krieder blows but neither Tork or Meadows can play SS. And if AJ/Harris hasn't gotten rid of McKinstry at this point, he's not demoting him now.

And Tork picked it up in Toledo, whoopie doo. They hit in Toledo before, means little.

I really don’t think Vilade and Madris are part of the future. One is 25 the other 28.
Organizational fodder. I could be wrong but I just do not think they will be sticking around. Maybe back ups. I do like Madris swing against rhp.

We are screwed than. Because a 25 year old and a 28 year old teams do not build around and you and I both know they are not giving up on tork or meadows.
Btw Vilade and Madris both hit at Toledo,. . Neither are tearing it up in the majors.
I think they are at best back ups or platoon players. I do like Madris swing. He got hot and has hit a few doubles . But first base is a homer spot. We need some bombs from him

He wasn't hitting in Toledo either when he went down. Sounds like he's finally making some changes and he's been mashing the last 2 weeks.

 

[biggunsbob]

Parker and Tork are both 24. Not much younger than Vilade. . We really need both to come back and hit. Spencer did hit 31 homers last year. I doubt they give up on him.
They really need Spencer to figure it out. Like G said he is hot the last 10 games.
