Tigers vs Jays, Game 89 July 9 2023

[biggunsbob]

That as close. Just recognize the pitch.

Tiger hitters can?t.

 

[byco42]

The home plate umpire would never ever on his own ask for help on a check swing. He would either call it or not. And let the other team make the appeal. This announcer needs to know the rules. He was claiming that the HPU should have appealed on his own to the 1BU. :hmm:

 

[gotime909]

This guy hung a ton of sliders that inning. Tigers need to hit mistakes. Fucking Lange

 

[lonesometiger]

Yeah I know but this weekend it's been all us.. Yay :nod:

12-3 and this awful 4-3 loss says something else.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I like Todd Jones in the booth, Peaches and C-Mo can go.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger lost 2 games against The A?s and Blue Jays because they can?t tack on runs with less then 2 outs and a runner on third. Spencer fails in the 8th inning in game that if he just gets a sac fly tigers win 1-0. Instead the lose 1-0 in extra innings.

 

[Mitchrapp]

12-3 and this awful 4-3 loss says something else.

12-3 wasn't on the weekend. Understand.

 

[biggunsbob]

Omg it was Jansen that hit the homer. Wtf is Lange doing ? He had Kirk on deck who only has 3 homers on the season and he throws a ball right over the fucking Heart of the plate to a guy with 10 homers on the season.. plus it wasn?t Langes best pitch. What hell is he doing not going after a Chapman the batter before him. . He never threw him a strike maybe one. Then he just lobs up a bp pitch that gets crushed by Jansen something the shitty Tigers can never seem to do.

Baddoo fails to mover runner to third. Greene fails to move runner to thrid. Baez K?s in a very important at bat with less then 2 outs and a runner On third.


They lose a damn game when holding Toronto to this

Team LOB 4
Team RISP1-8 (Varsho 0-1, Chapman 0-1, Kirk 0-1, Merrifield 0-1, Jansen 1-3, Kiermaier 0-1)


This fucking team.

Team LOB 8
Team RISP2-15 (McKinstry 0-1, Short 0-1, Torkelson 1-2, B?ez 0-1, Iba?ez 0-1, Vierling 0-1, Cabrera 1-1, Haase 0-3, Baddoo 0-1, Greene 0-1, Carpenter 0-2)

Lange has allowed 14 ER in his last 13.1 IP. you got to think Hinch must be considering swapping him and Foley post ASB.

Since the start of July and through his second PA today, Tork has a .267 BA. 5 of his 8 hits are XBH.
14 of his 20 BIP have a launch angle higher than 10. 8 of his 20 BIP were to the pull side. Of his 8 hits, 4 have been to straightaway and 4 to the pull.
Pull and launch.

Last year Spencer Torkelson was demoted to Triple-A as the Tigers went into the All-Star break.
His numbers at that time:
298 PA, 5 HR, 9.7% BB, 25.5% K
.197/.282/.296
His numbers now:
371 PA, 12 HR, 10% BB, 24.2% K
.226/.307/.399

The polish that Fetter Lund and Nieves added to Skubal during this rehab..is frankly astounding.

Going inside the Tigers' decision to DFA popular veteran Jonathan Schoop: "You never love having that conversation. But we made the decision to move on from him and give opportunity to other people."
Det news
I love how the team postures like this was difficult..he was ranked 175 out of 175 hitters the past 2 seasons..you needed 650 AB to qualify..explain again the angst ..Schoop was bad..didn't play 2B anymore and almost any other team in baseball would have DFA him months ago.

It would appear that Detroit Tiger pitchers are going to be very popular with other teams come the trade deadline set for August 1st. Several days ago, we reported that the top 2 pitchers expected to be traded are both Tigers - Eduardo Rodriguez and Michael Lorenzen.
Now it's being reported that interest is being shown by multiple teams over Jose Cisnero, Jason Foley and Will Vest. Weirdly, Alex Lange is not being mentioned.
Totally Tigers

4-2 home stand turns into a 2-4 home stand because this team just can?t deliver in critical baseball situations.

Totally Tigers

All Spencer needed was a sac fly against Oakland and we win that game in the Bottom of the 8th

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange needs to be dealt for as much as we can get for him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Idiots could have been 4.5 out.

Cleveland Lost
Minnesota lost.
Sox Lost too

 

[kalinecountry]

Comerica Park hosted 90,727 fans for this weekend?s series against Toronto.

That?s the highest attendance for a three-game series in the ballpark since drawing 100,924 against the Dodgers in 2017.

 

[biggunsbob]

So when the Tigers finish 2.5 games out of First place add this game to the three
1-0 games they lost to the games they let get away.

[biggunsbob]

Isn?t Wingenter another pitcher who has been hurt all the time ? Hell he has been around mlb since 2018 and hasn?t done anything worth a roster spot. So he can strike guys out. He gives up plenty of homers and hits. I really liked Marisnick as a defensive replacement in the of. Hell he may start hitting better then Baddoo. All I see is a crap roster with a few good players. It?s frustrating they are where they are.

Can?t wait or see this again in a Detroit uniform. Yikes !

Wingenter allowed eight runs on 10 hits over 8 2/3 innings through nine games on his rehab, walking five and striking out seven. He could work his way back to the Tigers' bullpen down the stretch, but Detroit?s use of multi-inning relievers lately limited his role.

Is he really worth keeping around ?

 

[biggunsbob]

So now tiger outfield has
baddoo L
Carpenter L
Greene L
Vierling R

Plus a Bunch of other guy who can play inf or of.
