I saw there wasn't a thread yet.

Top of 1st. Kittens already down 1-0, 1 out and bases are loaded.

 

[SpartyNash]

This team is a complete dumpster fire

 

[tomdalton22]

3-0 middle of the 1st

 

[tomdalton22]

the two hitters with the highest batting averages in the Tiger's lineup...the Castros. :clap:

 

[tigermud]

this team is very forgettable

 

[tigermud]

^ That they are

The team leader in HR's is a rookie who's hitting a buck 40 nine. that's goofy

 

[tigermud]

Well it's tied up in the 8th can they actually win a game today? I remain skeptical. 10 times before I bail for run time.

 

[tigermud]

And... Fulmer shits the bed chalk it up boys we'll forego the last six tiger outs and call it now.

9-23

Not with Fulmer wasting so many pitches and falling behind every batter.

The Detroit Tigers have five more errors (seventeen) than home runs (twelve) this season.

That?s the biggest difference in baseball.

The Tigers? 9-22 start is not A.J. Hinch?s fault.

Jeimer Candelario, Jonathan Schoop, Akil Baddoo and Eric Hasse had a combined .774 OPS in 2021.

So far this year? .479

If tigers don?t come back this will make the A?s 17-2 in comerica park the last 19 games.
What a terrible team Al has assembled.

 

[gotime909]

I think this bullpen has been overrated. Seem to pitch great when the team is trailing, but the few times they're asked to hold leads or keep it tied they seem to fail.

 

[biggunsbob]

And Oakland who was on a 9 game losing streak comes into Detroit and wins 4 of 5 games.
Great team Al.

The Tigers had to wait until the eighth inning to find out who today?s goat would be, but they found him just the same.

Starting to look like a whole chunk of starters overachieved last year. Hoping I'm wrong..

 

[kalinecountry]

It gets better, not really...
Casey Mize?s rehab start for Mud Hens lasted two-thirds of an inning. He gave up three singles, a Jake Bauers three-run HR and hit a batter. 29 pitches, 16 strikes.
