Twins swept out of Atlanta today losing 3-0 today. Detroit now 4 back. Cleveland moves into a tie for first place in this
Crappy division

Twins 40-42
Cleve 38-40
Detroit 34-44
Chicago 34-47

Yikes !

For all of you who think the training staff is an issue with these pitcher's injuries..I Hope not.
Manning broke his foot.
Faedo finger nail.
Skubal was already hurt.
Boyd had flexor surgery already.
EROD a finger injury.

Spencer Torkelson is hitting .170/.243/.340 in June with a 31% strikeout rate.

It's hard to believe winning is a priority when Marisnick Nevin Schoop are in the lineup and the #2 hitter is 4/44.

The promotion of Colt Keith to Toledo could mean multiple things. First, that the Detroit Tigers want to see him sooner rather than later. There are concerns over 3B and 2B. Keith primarily plays 3B but also plays 2B. They may want to do a longer dress rehearsal for next year.
With the All-Star break fast approaching, the Tigers may also be getting ready to make changes to their infield. The Mud Hens currently have 10 infielders while only 4 OFers. 1-2 of their infielders may get called up shortly.

4 offseason decisions the Tigers are paying for right now.
The Detroit Tigers made some regrettable decisions this past offseason.

The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
*Following last night's game, optioned LHP Anthony Misiewicz to Triple A Toledo.
*Recalled RHP Garrett Hill from Triple A Toledo.

Colt Keith just had a no doubt homer in his first toledo at bat. He might force them to bring him up this year

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks Ron
Harris whiffed on those 4 moves.
I?m convinced that Harris fucked us in the off season. I. Super frustrated at the lack of depth in the outfield and no plan after Maton failed at 3rd base. He better get it together.

 

[gotime909]

Skubal gave up 2 unearned runs in his first inning in Toledo because shit bag Maton had a throwing error on his first ball he played.

Maton is all messed up.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez is just a worthless black hole hitting recently. k?s

Now 1 for his last 20 at bats.

Looks like JB pulled something with a swing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dumb pitch
Texas leadoff hitter has been swing at the first pitch all series.

 

[jas5lf]

Please let this be the last time we ever see Wentz.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nevin drops the ball at first

Easy hop to catch

 

[biggunsbob]

I?ve seen enough . Send JW. Back to Toledo .

 

[biggunsbob]

Wentz just stink. I know he golfed that pitch off the plate but just make sure the 1-2 pitch is
Unhittable.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wish we had some hitting.

10 batters.

Texas 4-0

 

[biggunsbob]

So Wentz is another great deal from the Avila era.

(July 31, 2019: Traded by the Atlanta Braves with Travis Demeritte to the Detroit Tigers for Shane Greene).

 

[biggunsbob]

Miggy get rung up on same check swing as Duran last night.

Who didn?t get rung up. Then hit his homer.

Then gets ejected by this pos crew. 1st base Ump.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ridiculous how good the Rangers got from last season. Wish we had GM as good as the Rangers. Maybe Harris will be better next season. Division is winnable with just a halfway decent GM.

you are too biased. Umps are flawed on both sides. You have a bad habit of only looking at it from your team's perspective.

It?s possible.

I thought Durans Check swing last night was the exact same check swing as Miggy?s
Tonight.

Miggy was rung up.
Duran was not. He would have K?d. Game would have been 3-3 going to
Top of the 9th last night. Not 8-3.


I just think the some crews are worse then others at balls and strikes and check swings.
It was also ridiculous that that POS first base Ump was butt hurt enough to toss miggy from the game.
It just shows the lack of respect no one has for Detroit at all..

 

[biggunsbob]

Hopefully Wentz is sent down after tonight.
