Another bullpen day? How many relievers are we carrying? Unbelievable how many injuries this team has had

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm sure we have a starter down below. There use to be a NL coach that did this, started a RP.

Step two, as this another must/big win game. I went to bed as the Tigers took the lead at 5-4 last night. Tigers seem to have started to come alive, let that keep happening, and winning games will happen. Lets go Tigers. Tyler A needs to get er done tonight.

Tonight we retake 3rd place.

Nice dp saves Joey from a single and a Bb with one out .

Real nice
Spencer to JB back to Joey.



Listening to Monroe sometimes bugs me. He said on that 3-2:BB that it was a good pitch..
It wasn?t close and with a 6-1 lead you want to throw strikes.

Nice DP though. My bad Holton was in pitching and covering first base.

Zach McKinstry 6/49 in June with ONE BB.

Here is a very specific stat for your day. Tigers hitters have the 8th highest percent of pitches seen that fit these metrics:
95+ MPH FB thrown
In the heart of the zone
Game tying or winning run is either on base or at the plate.
Their .277 wOBA is 8th lowest.

Spencer Torkelson wRC+
March/April: 56
May: 122
June: 126

Miguel Cabrera hits a single in the second inning and has reached base safely in eight of his past nine games.
He is hitting .444 (12-for-27) with three walks and one sacrifice fly during this stretch.

Vierling is on fire tonight with 2 Home Runs.

Tigers 7 - 1.

 

[lonesometiger]

VIERLING a little pop in the bat tonight.

 

[lonesometiger]

Two steps up with a big 7-1 win.

 

[biggunsbob]

Two in a row ! Shame we had that long losing streak..

 

[biggunsbob]

All we need is a 30-10 forty game run !

Go Tigers !

 

[kalinecountry]

6 Tigers relievers hold the twinks to 1 run.

 

[lonesometiger]

Yep , but I thought Tigers were going to start Alexander.?
