Has Stewart been sent away yet ? It’s time to give Greene a shot.

 

[gotime909]

Greene is 19. Youre not gonna see him this year or likely next year either.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Curious why we haven't seen Rogers. It's clear Greiner cannot hit a baseball.

 

[biggunsbob]

First major league hit is a homer ! Nice L

Al Kaline was pretty young too. May as well try something we are not getting much out of our outfield not named Reyes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tired of leadoff walks.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize losing it already. 2nd and 3rd no outs and a single plats 2 runs and the Tiger lead is done 2-2. Freaking walks have killed us.

[biggunsbob]

God darn it. The twins have been swing at the first pitch a lot and we don’t make adjustments.

Mize comes out for the 5th promptly gives up a grooved fastball double.

Sergio Alc?ntara is the first Tigers player to homer in his first Major League at-bat since Daniel Norris on 8/19/2015 at Chicago (NL). The last position player to do so was Reggie Sanders on 9/1/1974 vs. Oakland.

Alc?ntara is also the 10th Tiger in franchise history to homer in his Major League debut and first since Wilkin Ramirez on 5/20/2009 vs. Texas.

Miguel Cabrera's 13-game hitting streak is his longest since May 13-26, 2015.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice work Mr Funkhouser.
