The Tigers record under the Ilitch Family (bought in mid-season '92) from 1993 to the game played yesterday is: Wins: 2,241 Losses: 2,654 Win % .458. 9 seasons over .500
Tigers' all-time W-L record stands 9613 - 9516. Just 97 games over .500. A winning percentage of .503
Nobody has done more to eliminate a generation of baseball fans than the Illich family.

Englert, Kelly, and Vierling combining on that bit of baseball fuckery..all courtesy of the man hiding in his office.

Riley Greene 11 for his last 66.

Torkelson is 4 for his last 34..

Lange is averaging 8.2 BB/9 this season.
Alex Lange was the AL Reliever of the month for May 2023..since then he has imploded..all centered on a massive inability to throw strikes..especially strike one. since June 1 2023 Lange's numbers 4-8 65 G
61.1 IP 285 BF 51 BB 17.8 BB% 7.48 BB/9 1.63 WHIP 4.84 ERA 57.7% strikes.
A.J. Hinch: "I'll answer the obvious question: After all the emotion yesterday, is this a reaction to something? The answer is no. We've talked about Alex in recent weeks, or actually, for the entirety of his major-league career, about strike-throwing and execution."

The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
Following last night's game, optioned RHP Matt Manning to Triple A Toledo.
Reinstated RHP Kenta Maeda from the 15-day injured list.

Last night, Carson Kelly touched third just as Kevin Kiermaier gathered the ball in CF.
It became the Tigers' sixth out at the plate this season.

#1 for Keith.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice play by Tork.

 

[gotime909]

If this was my team, I'd fine Tork 5k every time he takes a 1st pitch meatball. Swing the fucking bat

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'd fine him 10k every time he pops up.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I thought Perez might have gotten in before the tag. AJ too chicken to challenge?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maeda ERA just dipped below 6. Yippee.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Toronto imploding, 2 errors though only credit with 1 and HBP.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Tork, lol. K with bases juice. 1 out now up 3-0.

 

[Mitchrapp]

McSucktry - GB drives in run 4-0.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I thought that was over the LF head. Nice catch.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Carp 2-run home run.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I feel like I'm talking to myself here. Anyone around?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Keith gets another hit. Tork another disappointment.

 

[Mitchrapp]

6-0 headed to bottom 6.

 

[gotime909]

Kenta can only go 5 innings? Why is he back if he's not healthy enough to pitch with no restrictions?

Back from injury/virus?
