Game #15: Detroit Tigers @ Minnesota Twins, Sunday April 13th, 2025, 2:10 Pm

We got this.

Not until someone breaks out of a slump; Tork can't score two runs by himself.

 

[biggunsbob]

So far Tigers hitters have 0 walks today. Mize pitched ok. I bet he wishes he had Few pitches back. Shame Greene couldn’t break out of his slump. He will get one more at bat unless we bat around in an inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dog walk time. Need a rally !

 

[gotime909]

Alright here's our inning! Big guys coming up

 

[gotime909]

Carp with a rough at bat

 

[nydo77]

11 k's spread out between the Twin's pitchers.

 

[gotime909]

Well that was a brutal inning. 3 up 3 k's

 

[gotime909]

Tork has 5 homers now. He didnt hit his 5th last year until August 22th

 

[biggunsbob]

Not our day . Just can't seem to get the sweep (except white sox). At least Cleveland lost .

 

[kalinecountry]

I get the feeling that Colt Keith is going to sit for a game, or get sent down this coming week with another 0 for 4 and 2 k's.

Seems like the right play. My only concern is where would they play him? I really don't want him to take innings away from Hao-Yu Lee at 2nd. Maybe play him at 1B there? Honestly, it might be time to try him in the outfield.

 

[biggunsbob]

I think they will give him at least 100 at bats. He is at 48 after today.
He may even get half a season. Lee needs at bats at 2nd. Hopefully
Greene and Colt will start to hit soon.

Who we bring up so they can DH? It's not even about 2B anymore. You're not going to bring someone up just to DH is my guess until we have a good defensive OF and put Carp as DH.

So let's fk it up even more. 2B, 1B, DH and now OF. All in the span of two weeks.

2B is off the table. He's not gonna get innings there. Tork is a better 1B so you have to figure his long term place defensively. He's athletic enough to handle outfield imo.

Boy Colt and Greene need to wake up at the plate.

Boy Colt and Greene need to wake up at the plate.

Colt was worst at the start of last season. I've heard that being a FT DH is a hinderance and is not easy to do. I don't expect him to improve at this point.

 

[biggunsbob]

Toledo is off to a 4-11 start. (Last place)
Lee is only batting .200 in 45 at bats.
Jung is the only one hitting.
Ben Gamel is hitting but who cares he is 33.
Foley and Montero are doing ok.
Not really much to get excited about
