Tigers couldn't manufacture a run even if they tried in extra innings. No one moves runners over these days.

Attending a game feels like doing diagnostic work on anger management.

2 hours 09 minutes. Hella quick for a 10 inning game.

 

[biggunsbob]

1-3 homestand so far against two shit teams .

 

[gotime909]

We need a real hitting coach and manager. AJ is pretty meh when not cheating.

I wonder if Olson is counting the days until he's an unprotected free agent.

he'll be counting for a long time!

Detroit Tigers waste Reese Olson's eight scoreless innings, lose to Marlins, 1-0, in 10 innings.
Freep

Olson allowed two earned runs or less and just nine hits (all singles) in his last four starts — also in seven of his eight starts this season — covering 26 innings.

He’s faced 189 batters and allowed just six extra base hits. He hasn’t allowed a home run 53 innings, 214 batters.

Olson lowered his ERA to 2.09. And he has yet to record his first pitcher win of the season. The Tigers have eight runs for Olson in his 47.1 innings.

Everyone tries to be the hero. First batter Tork hits a few hard foul instead of maybe hitting one to the right side..

 

[jas5lf]

I'm beginning to wonder of Olson slept with one of his teammates' wives or maybe several of them.

Terrible at bat.

You suck Rogers.

Both catchers stink.

Reese Olson is the only MLB pitcher to have a sub-2.25 ERA but an 0-4 or worse record over his first 8 starts of a season (since ERA became an official stat in both leagues in 1913).
No pitcher has thrown more innings without allowing a homer than Reese Olson (53) this season.

Javier Baez in the month of May: 3-36 (.083 batting average), Zero extra-base hits, 6 strikeouts, 0 walks.
He's making $25,000,000 this season.

As soon as they cut him he will go to a NL club and someone will fix his swing. God knows our hitting instructors can’t help anyone on the Tigers. Our hitting is so pathetic.

3-7 last ten games and they continue to have a sub .500 record at Comerica park.

So Strange how 76 win Cleveland is a plus 52 in runs scored. (27–16)
So strange how. 56 win Kansas has improved to a plus 47 in runs scored. (26-18)
Last years division winners Minnesota are a plus 23 in runs scored. (24-17)
All have winning home records.
Mighty Tigers are plus 3 in runs scored. Losing home record.
I never thought KC would be better than us. Hopefully something turns this team around. We really need a damn winning streak.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

Are you familiar with the war of words going on between the Marlins and Tigers?
Last year, Miami posted smack about the Tigers on their scoreboard. Like this gem (complete with grammatical mistake):

On Monday night, Detroit returned the favor. Here are 2 examples. Not to be outdone, they also included their own grammatical mistake in the first example:

What do you think about this story?
Is it harmless fun or does it break the rules of sportsmanlike behavior?
Or do the Tigers have the right to retaliate?

What do you think about the scoreboard smack between the Tigers and Marlins?

1. It's harmless fun.

2. Miami started it. They get what they deserve.

3. It's unprofessional.

Was having the same thoughts last night watching that, move the GD runner over! That should be the priority for the lead off hitter in extras! But nobody can do it anymore they don’t even try to most of the time. The game has changed and I don’t care for it. And I don’t care for most of these recent year rule changes it’s increasing becoming a garbage product
