Carp with a two run home run in first. Olsen getting some run support.

In the gym on a machine with no view with mlb channel on. Tigers just went down 1-2-3, and Benetti and Monroe just talked the entire inning away about Baez’ family connections, without mentioning what happened to the next two batters. Keep it grounded, guys.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Gets out of 3rd base 1 out jam with a nasty strikeout.

 

[Mitchrapp]

2-0 after 3.

 

[biggunsbob]

I have to run some errands ! Go Tigers ! Need some wins !

 

[Mitchrapp]

Gets out of that..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Damn error. And because of it they take out Olsen, guys moves up to third 1 out.

 

[nydo77]

Double play ball from Faedo, please. Something be needs to pick it up for Olson.

 

[Mitchrapp]

C'mon Faedo.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Shoot. Unearned run on double.

 

[Mitchrapp]

2-1 heading to bottom 7.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Olsen's ERA down to 1.92. Lets see if BP gets him a win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

1-out double. C'mon Holton you hack.

 

[Mitchrapp]

2 outs guy on 3rd.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Sigh of relief.

 

[nydo77]

Game, another close win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Olsen gets his first, Tigers bats suck again after the first.

 

[lonesometiger]

congrats to Olsen, almost had to throw a shutout!

When the Tigers bullpen is rolling you would never think twice about Tyler Holton closing, but with a 5.37 ERA in May..it was a ballsy move..Hinch makes players have a standard of execution..if you can't meet it you're gone.

Final line for Tigers starter Reese Olson: 6.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K. 93 pitches, 59 strikes.Olson has a 1.92 ERA with 19 walks and 47 strikeouts across 56.1 innings in 10 starts this season. He has a 0.77 ERA in his past six starts, a stretch of 35 innings.

Zack McKinstry since 6/1/23 .206/.264/.306 57 wRC+ 6.4 BB% 437 PA. time to move on.

Greene just keeps missing FB down the middle after FB down the middle its not late..its not an accurate swing..and its been a month of this..and its not changing..

no team in baseball misses more FB in the hitting zone..or has so many just quick innings than the Tigers
..and the futility has been going on for a few seasons.

It was an off day for Spencer Torkelson, who is in an 0-for-19 slump (and hitting .135 in his past 10 games).
Tigers have not been afraid recently to demote players.. think Torkelson has maybe 40 to 50 more AB before it's a possibility..

Before 5/25 the normally very reliable Andrew Chafin has allowed runs in 4 of his last 5 outings and for May
5 IP 12 H 7 R 6 ER 3 BB 3.00 WHIP.

Parker Meadows at TOL 16/53 .302 3 2B 2 3B 3 HR 7 BB.

In a desperate attempt to increase offense, the Detroit Tigers have signed OF Patrick Lee to a minor league contract. He comes from the Frontier League. The Tigers continue their glacial pace of trying to solve the lack of run production.
