Spencer Torkelson was tested, but did not suffer a concussion, AJ Hinch said. He won't start Saturday.
"Luckily he had that new guard on [his helmet] that covers the beginning of his chin," Hinch said. "I think his shoulder pushed it up and it protected his face."

RHP Matt Manning threw from 150 feet and could throw off the mound tomorrow.

RHP Jose Cisnero is en route to Toledo for a lengthy rehab assignment that will entail 5-6 outings.

RHP Kyle Funkhouser could throw off the mound in the next week or so, which would be a big test.

Detroit Tigers: Chris Ilitch doesn?t know what progress looks like.

How out of touch do you have to be to declare the rebuild is 100% over and then look at the team, 17 games below .500 with the worst offense in the 120+ year history of the Detroit Tigers and say "I'm very pleased".

Isaac Parades has 9 hrs in the last 27 days.
Nobody on the Tigers has more than 7.....this season.

I used to think Al Avila was the worst public speaker in Tigers history. Considering the spring debacle in the owners CBA vote and yesterday, that Illitch family had 7 kids and not one of them was equipped to be an owner of a baseball team.

Why does a fan.. know the right thing to say and an owner doesn?t?
"I?d settle for the more diplomatic ?this season hasn?t gone how we wanted and is unacceptable and we know we have a ton of work to do for 2023 and we will be attacking it aggressively.? I?m still dumbfounded after yesterday?s comments and I root for Chris I to figure things out".

3 - 1 royals bottom of the 5th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Fuck Al and Fuck Chris. Worst owner GM combo in baseball.

 

[biggunsbob]

WHAT THE FUCK is Beaz swinging at in the 7th ?

That slider was 10 feet off the plate.

Pathetic mlb At bat.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey Al you dumb fuck .

Tampa Bay won 6-2 today
Paredes was only 1-5 .. but hit his freaking 12th homer you stupid shit. How many does Meadows have now ?

HR: Paredes (12, 3rd inning off Lawrence 0 on, 2 Out); Franco (5, 6th inning off Lawrence 0 on, 2 Out)
RBI: D?az (16), Arozarena (34), Pinto 2 (6), Paredes (23), Franco

Haase rbi single brings Tigers to within one.

[jas5lf]

As shitty as this season has been, at least Greene gives us some hope for the future.

Agree. It is so frustrating after what we expected after last season. Should known better with Al in charge. Hopefully this jump starts the offense. Look I don?t want anyone but AL TO LOSE his job. But the team was 77-85 last season. They should be way better then this.

 

[biggunsbob]

Super sweet Greene?s 1st Homer was a walk off to dead center ! In the bushes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey who does Beaz have beef with with the Royals ? AJ was talking about something in the post game show.

 

[biggunsbob]

RG. Hits a 432 homer for a walk off win !

There was jawing after very close called third strike to Riley Greene, but it was between KC reliever Amir Garrett and Javier Baez, who was on deck. They have a history from their NL Central days.

Tigers 4 - Royals 3: Riley Greene walks it off with first career homer.
It?s only been 12 games, but this kid might already be a legend.
BYBTB

It?s the 23rd time that Greene has reached base in just 12 career games at the major-league level, and we?ve yet to find anything he can?t do well. That includes giving the response of a seasoned veteran in his post-game interview by giving props to Victor Reyes who delivered the game-tying home run just one at-bat prior.
