SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

In a perfect world, we wouldn?t have to worry about interruptions to Miguel Cabrera?s quest for 3,000 hits. No Evil Empire managers giving out intentional walks and ruining the game for fans. And no problems with Mother Nature not cooperating and cancelling Friday night?s game.

Yet it?s important that fans be able to express their feelings about this historical event on a timely basis.

So let?s run today?s poll regardless of the delays.

Miggy has been the face of the franchise now for 15 years. He will be only the 3rd Tiger to reach 3,000 hits, joining Ty Cobb and Al Kaline. And before he retires, his expected performance will move him up even further among the greats of the game.

He will join 32 other players to have reached this milestone but a number of those members achieved theirs with some help from PEDs. He will also join only 5 other clean players to have hit 500 HRs and 3,000 hits. The others are Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray and Albert Pujols.

If Cabrera hits only 1 more double, he will become a member in the ultra-exclusive club with Hank Aaron and Albert Pujols.

And once he reaches 3,000 hits, he will sit with Hank Aaron and Willie Mays in also having 500 HRs and a batting average over .300.

It is widely assumed that he will enter Cooperstown on a first ballot.

So how excited are you about Miggy?s imminent historic stat of reaching 3,000 hits?

1. Very thrilled

2. Happy

3. Neutral

4. Yawn

I use to like the old style DH's. Play one game, 20 minute break - play the other.

 

[coulomb]

oops

 

[biggunsbob]

Glad Grossman is hitting but no reason to run in to a out at second base. Still he plated a rbi tigers lead 5-0 now.

 

[coulomb]

Bar is pretty low, but this is the highest scoring game for the tigers so far this season.

 

[nydo77]

Bar is pretty low, but this is the highest scoring game for the tigers so far this season.

The bar is a bit higher now. Let's make sure we have some runs left for the evening .

 

[kalinecountry]

I changed the date to the 23rd for game 1 of the double header.

Miggy's 3000 Hit game.

Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on becoming the third all-time great Detroit Tiger to reach the epic 3,000th hit mark as a Detroit Tiger! Thank you Miggy for giving Tigers fans so many great moments and memories!!

37,566 tickets distributed for Game 1 today, according to Tigers. It marks their largest non-Opening Day crowd since July 15, 2017, when they drew 40,036 for Michael Fulmer's start against the Blue Jays.

Dan Dickerson's call gives us chills.

Miguel Cabrera's 3001st career hit is a two-run single through the middle. He moves past Roberto Clemente for 32nd on MLB's all-time hit list.
Miggy is 6 hits shy of Al Kaline's career 3007 hits.

Miguel Cabrera?s bases-loaded single makes him a career .391 hitter with the bags packed. That?s the 2nd best of all time (min 200 PAs) behind only the great Eddie Murray (.399)

Getting 3,000 hits remains, and always will, a monumental accomplishment. Miguel Cabrera is perhaps the purest hitter of his generation. His swing is so controlled, his power so natural. It?s going to be a while until the next member of the 3,000-Hit Club arrives.

Now need one more double to complete the set and stand in another truly elite category of Hank Aaron and Miguel Cabrera as the only players with 500 HR, 3000 hits, +.300 average, 600 doubles.

Miguel Cabrera has reached the 3,000 hit mark. Some neat stats:
1108 hits at Comerica Park
997 different pitchers
599 doubles
502 career home runs
266 hits vs. Cleveland (the most vs. any one team)
13 walk-off hits
1 bunt-single

Miggy's 3000 hit and 13 runs.. great day.

 

[kalinecountry]

The Tigers came into today hitting .210 as a team. They have 20 hits now (their first 20-hit game since 2018) and their average is now up to .239 - pretty nice climb.

Tarik Skubal has been dominating. How dominate has he been? This paints a picture. Second consecutive start with double digit swings and misses.

Following the first game of today?s doubleheader, the Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
*Optioned RHP Angel De Jesus to Triple A Toledo.
*Selected RHP Beau Brieske from Triple A Toledo.
*Appointed OF Daz Cameron to serve as the 29th man for tonight?s game.

To make space for Brieske on the 40-man roster, RHP Kyle Funkhouser has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Was at a funeral for my great aunt today, she was a life long tiger fan and watched them often I had gut feeling he was going to get 3,000 today in his first at bat during her services and that is exactly what happened. RIP aunt Laura miggy got the 3,000th today for ya

 

[biggunsbob]

Sorry TM for your loss. Lost my great Aunt way back in 1995 she was 17 days short of 100 years old. 1895-1995. Glad miggy got the hit today. Funny she was a great Tiger fan too.

 

[biggunsbob]

Game #2 of the doubleheader is why baseball is so weird and like no other sport. The Tigers clobbered Colorado in game one 13-0. Now in that second game we are down 3-0 in the fifth inning and can?t seem to get anything going. It?s why baseball is so maddening.
