Spencer Torkelson's small changes lead to big results for Tigers.
Freep

MLB Network is in full fangirl mode over Spencer Torkelson and the Tigers & I am 100% here for it.


A couple nuggets from the Tigers' game notes:
Skubal is 11-1 at Comerica since the start of last season (1.88).
Tork's 14 extra-base hits leads the American League.
Tork has four game-winning RBI already.
A win today would mark the best home start (9-1) since 1942.

We are the only team in baseball with four starting pitchers carrying sub-3.00 ERA's.
Casey Mize (2.22)
Jack Flaherty (2.53)
Tarik Skubal (2.66)
Jackson Jobe (2.70)

Our combined team ERA of 3.19 ranks third in the major leagues.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal needs freaking beardown. Not sharp. Down 2-0.
KC always seems to give TS issues.

 

[biggunsbob]

KC up 2-0. Least he doesn’t have to face Witt Jr with runners on.

 

[gotime909]

Skubal catching way too much plate on 2 strike pitches so far.

 

[biggunsbob]

Weak bottom of the 2nd for Detroit.

 

[gotime909]

Enough already!! Send Colt down

 

[gotime909]

Another 2 strike meatball to Witt. Thankfully at someone

 

[gotime909]

0-2 change up caught plate and Cahna drills it for a hit. I don't get what he's doing today.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man this team gives TS issues.

 

[biggunsbob]

Inning over. Bottom third.

 

[gotime909]

Lucky to only be down 2

 

[gotime909]

We definitely struggle finishing off sweeps.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn hitters taking day off so far.

 

[biggunsbob]

He just cant get a clean inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

When will Greene hit a Homer again ? Been a while.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger hitters just mostly sleeping in the box.

 

[biggunsbob]

7 hits. Wish our hitters would hit the other way, another 2 strike hit.
