When you read tweets proclaiming how close positional bats are to the Tigers rebuild.. grasp this.. they are a year plus away.. and they will it optimize their skills for the first two years in the majors .. so 3+ more years .. yeah..they need a new GM.

Don't get too attached to Daniel Norris he will soon be a footnote in a trade..can't trust him to get outs in leverage..

Once again poor defense and no hitting kills this team. I was excited going into this series. Now Turnbull is hurt we'll probably get swept.

Turnbull hurt. This why you need to build around position players first. They are more durable. And you can trade them for pitching. Tigers mind set is as back words as can be. No relief, no defense, no hitting, bad trades, drafting isn't worth it. player development is worthless. give the front office a d- notice no capital d they don't deserve it. F that been reserve for the Failpen!

That first pitch wasn?t even close ump !

Schoop hits a 3 run bomb in the 7th. Js is dailed in like Jack said.

13 for his last 23 with 5 homers . Including 2 tonight.

 

[lonesometiger]

Now that the offense woke up we have a game time for more runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Miggy now 3 for the last 26 at bats with that single.

 

[biggunsbob]

Haase kaboom !

2 run bomb !

Good time to turn on the tv.

 

[lonesometiger]

What a wake up man I need to get to posting again.

 

[jas5lf]

Tigers take the lead? What's this, a comeback? We never see any of these anymore.

 

[biggunsbob]

Funny I had a feeling Eric was going to put good wood on the ball.

 

[kalinecountry]

9 outs needed from the bullpen with a 1 run lead,

things that make you go hmmm.

 

[biggunsbob]

What?s Garcia do.

Walks the leadoff hitter.

Sigh.
