Game 133 Tigers vs. angels August 27, 2024

[twentythree]

Hey everybody.
I haven't posted about the Tigers since June 21, 2017 (I looked it up on this web site.) I remember the general situation. The Tigers were below average at the time. I was kind of excited that Verlander was getting a perfect game or no-hitter into some inning of that game. Then, the opposing team immediately got a hit after I posted. It felt all wrong. The team was heading downhill. I haven't posted about the Tigers for 7 years. Guess why? They weren't good. Things were not great with the general management. Now, they are 67-66. They are getting some good wins with rookies and generally guys I haven't heard of. Go Tigers. Suprisingly the AL central is a really good group of 4 top teams. (You know, like, not the White Sox.)

we don't need any bandwagon fans here. Here you come when they finally get over .500

Tigers 36-18 this year when Parker Meadows plays.

Parker Meadows in August
18 Games
.333/.368/.583
2 HR 6 2B 3 3B 5 SB
The Tigers are 14-4 in games he's played in this month.

Parker Meadows has been one of the most valuable players in the AL this month. His 1.1 fWAR so far in August is only topped by Aaron Judge (2.5), Bobby Witt Jr. (1.9), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (1.4), Jarren Duran (1.4), Juan Soto (1.2), and José Ramírez (1.2).

I know that Tork seems to be the whipping boy, but since his return, he's hitting .368 with 3 HR, .450 OBP, and if they win tonight (currently up 3-0), 8-2 since his return. (Stats as of right now, mid game)
