Akil Baddoo entered today with a team-best 132 wRC+ and team-high 1.5 fWAR.

Hinch has done a spectacular job of not only building a bullpen, but managing the workload of his BP. Cisnero/Soto/Funkhauser all with 2 days off coming into Saturday. Worth watching. The second tier nurturing of the Norris/Jimenez/Ramirez group into something reliable.

While DET fans thnk they are close to being good...they now trail the CWS by 13.5 games ..BTW the CHI rolled out 3 relievers you never heard of..throwing ched. Avila rolled out Buck Farmer and Bryan Garcia..reality sucks..
nothing like the Buck Farmer Bryan Garcia tandem inning to remind you of the Gardenhire/Anderson /Avila era.

Hey Chris Illitch..Mize vs Lynn two straight winning months..pre July 4th..74 and cool..best night in the last two years for a crowd at your ballpark..wanna bet you don't draw 20,000..its a disgrace..fire this GM.. consider selling the team..use it for casino's..you like those
attendance was 18,185..
Chris Illitch..thinks he's running a grift..he is..on his family..both in the cash he costs them in revenue stream and the hundreds of millions in franchise value.

Tigers figures.
Tigers 2021 payroll per Spotrac: $86,705,835
MLB average: $130,373,830
Difference: $43,667,995
Miggy off the books after 2023: $32,000,000 savings.

Jonathan Schoop has hired the Scott Boras Corporation to represent him. The trade candidate and free agent after the year hit 10 of his 15 HR in June.
So much for Detroit Tiger fans hoping that the team would extend Schoop this year.

Before MLB's ban on sticky stuff, hitters had a historically low BA of .236
Three weeks after the ban, it has gone up to .246
Spin rates are way down as well with Ohtani, Scherzer, Greinke, Bauer, Stroman, Bieber and others showing major declines in their pitch spin rates.

[kalinecountry]

Another 3-run HR by Hasse 10-5.

Tigers figured out Kuechel finally,

Haase is doing everything today 2 Bombs 6 RBI,

Miggy with 2 more hits,

Tigers have 8 walks today,

Schoop should be a reserve on the AL All-Star team,

 

[Mitchrapp]

Schoop HR in 8th, 11-5.

Tigers win, nice.

This is beginning to look a lot like Jonathan Schoop 2017 slash line:
293/338/503
32 bombs
105 RBI
67 XBH

INF Niko Goodrum began an injury rehab assignment with Triple A Toledo tonight.
I suggest Niko play well..if he does he gets ne of the Castro's spots..if not..he gets to stay in TOL.

How many times in the last 2 months have you seen the Tigers win this type of game..they don't die easy..not even for the CWS..who have taken their lunch money everyday since 2018..

Jose Cisnero has allowed 1 run in his last 22.2 innings.

If so much of this improvement and development by so many players isn't an indictment on the staff and acceptance of the inferior job Avila accepted from his handpicked manager and coaching staff..any owner with any insight would be asking himself this question.
