Tigers @ Phillies Game 58 6/5/2023

[biggunsbob]

Nola first pitcher to record multiple strikeout via Pitch violation in mlb history. Notice it?s the Tigers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Runners on first and second no outs .

Baddoo totally fooled on every pitch K?s

Spencer smokes a ball down the line and the guy who made the error on Baez ball makes a great play and Spencer
Is out at first.

Maton has a beef. He checked his swing. Umpire caught up in the no hitter bid.

Maton three runner homer ! Says **** off Bob ! Breaks up the no no !

I?d still send some guys down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wtf has happened to Haase ? The guy is all messed up at the plate.

 

[lonesometiger]

Back from pizza for Maton 3 run homer breaks up the no hitter shut out and a great Nola outing.

 

[lonesometiger]

dont listen to me Turner 4-4 now 1st and 3rd.

 

[lonesometiger]

JTR makes it 7-3

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers cut it to two and Englert gives up three hits in a row and two runs. 7-3 ..

Looks like tiger pen is coming back down to earth. Not good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers homer in back to back games and will probably lose both games.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice job keeping game close Mason . 8 batters . Aj finally with the hook.

 

[biggunsbob]

This Ump has zero clue what a strike is.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nevin is another guy batting .118 who can?t handle mlb pitching . Send him packing. To Topeka !

More weak contact by Nevin. Pop fly out to cf. he had a nice hitters count to.

Mckinstry singles. 1st and 2nd

Baez standing 7 feet off the plate swings at a pitch 5 feet off the plate the other way.
Missed pitch by 82 feet.

Baez beefing with Ump. Not sure what it?s about. Probably all the chains he is wearing got in his eyes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers lose 4th in a row 8-3. Now 1-4 since Greene injury.

Post of the game Bob!

Send him packing to Topeka Kansas, not Toledo, lol

Baez needed a 14 foot bat to hit the pitch and still missed it by how many feet???

Maybe Baez is related to Mr. T with all the chains he is wearing?

Tigers have to buy Baez out. Send a prospect and money to any team that will take him.
Promote any ss in any system over Baez. He stands so far off the plate it?s a wonder he every had a mlb hit.

The White Sox series bugs the crap out of me. Tigers had 3 great starting pitching performances and lost all three because management keeps seems out the same crappy hitters over and over and over again.

I think Scott Harris got this word from Chris Ilitch after he blew all that money the previous year for a big shit in his pants from Al Avila for signing them.
This coming off season heading into 2024 with a number of the expensive contracts coming off the books, they should find a couple of middle tier FA's who can make everything be better. Not Miggy money, just some money in 2/3/4 year deals for middle per year $$

PUTTING IT ALL INTO CONTEXT. Good read.
Totally Tigers

Last week I promised that we would address all the injuries happening to pitchers. Today, we?ll start off the discussion in a 2-part blog.

However, the original topic concerning the increasing number of Tommy John surgeries will wait for Thursday, so please save your comments about that for then.

We?re pivoting slightly because of a just-released study about what is going on this year with pitcher injuries.

Injuries are up across all of MLB, esp. among starting pitchers. And it?s noticeable.

Noticeable enough that MLB is investigating.

Many fans have pointed out the injuries with the Tigers. Going so far as to immediately pin the blame on Chris Fetter.

Chris, btw, is probably having nightmares about his decimated staff.

But it?s not Fetter. It?s not even the training and conditioning staffs. And it?s not the Tigers.

It?s???

?.. the pitch clock......
