Kenta Mayday pitching sheesh, the wrong guy signed to a 2 year contract.

Tigers' notes today: Carson Kelly and Jake Rogers have been elite at throwing out base stealers. Entering play today, they rank second in MLB with a 36.5 caught stealing percentage, fourth with 19 caught stealing.

Jack Flaherty has been fantastic this season, posting a 3.01 ERA and 2.62 FIP in 77.2 IPFlaherty's most noticeable improvement this season is his command of his breaking balls. He consistently locates his slider and curveball low and away to batters, leading to plenty of whiffs.

Time for another look at Parker Meadows .. need to find it if he’s Kevin Keirmeir lite or Akil Baddoo.

Colt Keith refusal to give in to long slumps..has followed a 1/23 spell with 7/13.

Happy Birthday to Lance Parrish.

Walks the #9 hitter on four pitches. . Few batters later its
4-0. This guy is just bad.

 

[kalinecountry]

kenta mayday Sucks.

The astros pitcher has a no hitter going.

This f'n Tigers team like many before is up and down and mostly down with a mostly ragtag group of players that are 4 AAAA players and some who would be career minor leaguers by good teams.

 

[jas5lf]

Just cut this bum after today's loss and bring someone else up to take his place.

 

[biggunsbob]

Embarrassing.

 

[biggunsbob]

No hits.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Can always count on Perez.

 

[gotime909]

I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping they'd get no hit.

Alex Lange had to leave the mound during an outing with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, and the Tigers reliever was in visible discomfort with an apparent upper-body injury. Lange was set to undergo tests this weekend and the team hasn’t yet given any official word on his status. Detroit optioned Lange to Triple-A last month after he posted a 4.34 ERA and (more distressingly) an 18.9% walk rate over 18 2/3 innings this season. Lange has long battled control problems but his stay in Toledo seemed to be bearing dividends, as he had only a 2.9% walk rate and a 3.12 ERA over 8 2/3 Triple-A innings.

This team is so disappointing.

 

[kalinecountry]

This team is so disappointing.

The record is 3 games under .500 but they feel like they have lost a lot more than 37 games, and more like a team
heading for 90 to 95 losses.

 

[biggunsbob]

It is frustrating watching Cleveland turn 76 win team around so fast.
It is frustrating watching Kansas City turn a 56 win team around so fast.

Ive been saying all we need is a long winning streak to feel good again.
Some day maybe . Just some playoffs please.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sadly Toledo and Erie are both on losing streaks .
Lakeland is still winning
Mudhens now 34-34
Erie now 33-28
Lakeland 40-22. Flying Tigers still performing well.
