Miggy double # 621 I think they said.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers with a run on third and less then 2 outs are Allergic to getting the runner home.

Ibanez not even close on three pitches. Tigers are just awful at getting the runner home from third.

Rogers has to pick up his teammates. He fails.

Miggy lead off doubles. Goes to third on a short fly to fight field.

Ibanez with just another awful at bat . Put the damn ball in play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Gotta run errands hope the radio will be luckier.

 

[biggunsbob]

Looks like Olson will have a short day. He gets 2 strikes on hitters and can?t put them away. Twins racking up the hits and runs.

Another 450 bomb by greene

 

[coulomb]

Man Tork is raking as of late. dude could hit 30 home runs this year.

Good stuff.

4-3 them.. for now..

 

[biggunsbob]

448 for Greene
442 for Spencer T.

 

[biggunsbob]

Olson isn't fooling anyone right now. Needs a dp really bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Bo pretty wild today.

 

[tomdalton22]

448 for Greene
442 for Spencer T.

These two and Carpenter are the only players I am interested in until the call ups. I really don't consider any other player on the entire roster being a "building block" for the franchise.

good game so far for "my guys"

7-12, 4 HR, 1 triple, 6 RBI

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers homegrown trio of Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter today are a combined 7-for-12 today with 4 HR, 6 RBIs and 5 runs scored.

Spencer Torkelson has arrived!
6 home runs in his last 7 games.

Baddoo has reached base 8X in the last 4 games scoring 7 runs.

Today is a great day to be a Detroit Tigers fan.

Spencer Torkelson becomes the first Tigers first baseman to hit 20 or more home runs that was actually drafted by Detroit since Tony Clark hit 31 in 1999.

It's not like they all got together and decided to make Spencer Torkelson's strike zone wider but maybe they did.

Spencer Torkelson's homer in the third inning was his 20th of the season, becoming the seventh Tigers player to hit 20-or-more homers in his age-23 season, joining Travis Fryman, Hank Greenberg, Willie Horton, Matt Nokes, Jason Thompson and Rudy York.

7-4 Tork keeps bombing away.

Greene needs a 2B for the cycle. He should have one more AB.

Skubal I think. Maybe Holton. But then Fetters seems to find
Bullpen guys. Can't wait see some of the kids get called up.

Vest in. Hope he is better then yesterday.

I don't think Skubal is anything more than a #3...maybe a low end #2. He's entering his first year of arbitration. I would trade him for the right package.

 

[biggunsbob]

Vest much better then yesterday.

I don't think Skubal is anything more than a #3...maybe a low end #2. He's entering his first year of arbitration. I would trade him for the right package.

You still need 4 pitchers so if he is a 2 or 3 that is ok. With his injury history no gm with brains would
Give much for him. Then we have to hope our other pitchers coming off injuries can replace him.

 

[coulomb]

8-4 on sac fly from greene.

F the twins.
