Since their 5-0 start, the Tigers have an 18-26 record in their past 44 games (with a 6-13 record in May).

Ryan Kreidler (right index finger fracture) began his rehab assignment last night as the designated hitter with Low-A Lakeland. He finished 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts.

Update on Triple-A Toledo shortstops: Eddys Leonard (left oblique strain) begins his rehab assignment tonight as the designated hitter with Low-A Lakeland.

Colt Keith BA is 20 points higher than Spencer Torkelson.

Since Torkelson hit the walkoff vs. MIA he is 4/30..and he isn't even close to hitting a FB...15/72 in May..now hitting .213

Alex Lange has a 20% BB% now..following an unsustainable 15.8% in 2023..
Will Alex Lange will be demoted to TOL tomorrow? Yes he just was....
The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
• Optioned RHP Alex Lange to Triple A Toledo.
• Recalled RHP Mason Englert from Triple A Toledo.

How much longer will the Detroit Tigers continue to put both Javy Baez and Spencer Torkelson in the same lineup? In this last series (in which they were swept), Baez went 1-for-8. Tork went 0-for-10.
Both rank near the bottom in all of MLB in OPS. Tork ranks #20 out of 24 1Bers in OPS and dead last in DRS.

The Tigers announced that Ryan Garko has been promoted to VP, Assistant General Manager, while Georgia Giblin has been promoted to VP, Baseball Performance Science. Additionally, Andrew Thomas has joined the organization as VP, Baseball Analytics.

The game is (theoretically) the free game of the day on the MLB app. MLB.tv hasn’t begun yet, and we are about finished with the 1st inning.

On Prime it says techinal difficults with a radio broadcast so probably something related to that. On the away stream they had nothing.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Now I get the batter swing happens when the pitcher still has the ball, lol.

 

[coulomb]

Yeah, its BS, all the pirate feeds use mlb.tv so they are all just blank. Gimmie mah money back mlb.tv.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Commercials come in good though.

 

[nydo77]

On the MLB channel they just said there is a power outage in Detroit that has shut both trucks down.

base on balls; followed by a double play, followed by a base on balls.

Radio audio with the centerfield camera and lots of crowd shots so far, and the audio is still ahead of the video.

Toronto up 1-0 now on a Kiner-Falefa home run.

I had to turn sound off because audio is way out of sync. When the ball is hit the camera isn't following it. No idea that was a HR until I saw his head run around second.

I knew about it from the sound before I saw the swing. Hopefully they get everything going soon.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Dead center, Kelly just looks at it. K.

 

[nydo77]

Three innings finished, Tigers behind 1-0, being no-hit so far, with 6 k’s. Typical game in recent times.

 

[Mitchrapp]

They had 1st and 3rd 1 out, Bo was picked off.

 

[nydo77]

10 Tigers outs, 7 k’s…
