Game 69 Tigers vs. indians June 16, 2019

[tomdalton22]

The Tigers need more of these blowout losses. They are pathetic and deserve to be embarrassed.

 

[turok]

bauer sets the Tigers down 1-2-3 for the 4th time, they have only 4 hits, 3 xB, all in different innings.

 

[turok]

Oh shaddup Craiggie...the mediocre indians are playing the Kitties, not the astros, twins, yankees or rays.

If their brass is going small market payrolls, they need to draft, sign, coach, scout, and trade shrewdly...there has been very little evidence of that working out so far.

Dixon Ks swinging....Kittens swept and lose a blown out SHO.

The acres of empty seats @ CoPa on a Fathers Day Sunday is ample proof and testament that if you won't build it, the fans won't turn out. Detroit deserves better, if only b/c they aren't Cleveland sports fans who don't and won't attend games regardless.

Indians bash Spencer Turnbull, continue dominance of Tigers.
Detnews

The indians won five out of six games this season, taken four straight series at Comerica Park and since 2018 are 18-7 against the Tigers. Only the Twins have beaten the Tigers more regularly in that span. And the games have not exactly been closely contested.
The Indians outscored the Tigers 116-47 last season, and six games into to the 19-game set this year, they are up 38-12 in the composite box.
And one last sad stat: The Tigers have lost 17 of their last 19 home games.

The shit weather doesn?t help but yeah..hell when I saw miggy wasn?t playing today I didn?t even bother turning to the game a single time today :-(

Few weeks ago I considered getting tickets and going to the game today for Father?s Day..if I had, I?d been pissed I went to the park and found no miggy in the lineup. Glad I didn?t go today

Tigers are 2-17 at Comerica Park since May 9.

Opponents have outscored them 143-51.

winning teams bring fans. Of course, 65 degrees and rain doesn't help attendance.

As far as "Detroit deserving better"...why? Nobody "deserves" anything.

Look @ the St Louis Cardinals organization, one who their fans should be very proud of....only 4 90+ loss seasons since the playoff era began, (93 Ls being their lowest point) and only once in 50 years have they finished below .500 in consecutive seasons. They however have fielded many teams who WON 90+ games in successive seasons, something that the Tigers have not done. Considering that it is a mid-market ballclub at most is quite remarkable.


You have to go waay back to 1908 to find the last Cards team to lose 100 games or more.

 

[turok]

I prefer attending games, even when very cool and damp/drizzly to sunny and hot low to mid-90s early afternoon games with high humidity, just can't tolerate it for an entire game, especially @ CoPa, which unlike the late Tiger Stadium, has far less available in the way of shaded seating. There were some times when I had attended games that it began to rain @ Tiger Stadium, and we would sneak our way to the seats or lower-deck bleachers which were under the upper or lower deck roofs.


I remember in particular a night game @ CoPa almost 10 years ago that was delayed several times by thunderstorms, and although the crowd had thinned out somewhat by midnight, there still were quite a few who had stuck it out to the very end, when the Tigers beat the Yankees on a 3-run homer by Carlos Guillen in extras and in the driving rain @ exactly 3:30 am.

We were over at espn back then, and I couldn't believe that I stayed up for it.
Slept until 12 noon the next day, a Saturday iirc.

I am no longer rooting for the Tigers to win another game. There is no reason to. I hope they lose every single game they play. I will honestly be disappointed when they win.

Yeah, I remember that team, they sucked.

 

[turok]

Yeah...BBR is like using a time-machine, so simple and quick to browse, unlike thumbing through pages of an almanac to look up sports trivia in and for 20th century stats.

You should root for the Yankees.

Having acquired the home run leader in the league, adding those home runs to the other Yankee bats, it?s impossible that they could lose another game this season going forward.

Or you could root for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers are good.

LA is cool.

But it?s different from New York - ya gotta have a cool car.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nothing wrong with having a backup team. I'll watch a little more Arizona baseball now..

As a general rule, this is true. However, TBR, OAK and CLE do not show this as a trend. Aside from this types of teams, what does appear to be true is the more a team spends, the greater the attendance. You then could argue it is winning, but increased payroll also is a variable for most teams. So what came first? Payroll or winning?
