Props to you Bob for keeping us informed.

Javier B?ez walks, steals second base and steals third base in the sixth inning. He has 10 walks and five stolen bases in 54 games this season.

Baddoo snapped an 0-30 for the Tigers against Michael Kopech, dating back to last season.

The Tigers, dealing with a multitude of injuries, will start left-hander Joey Wentz on Monday and right-hander Reese Olson on Wednesday in the upcoming three-game series against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

Garrett Hill returns from Toledo as Detroit Tigers need starting pitcher for Tuesday.
Freep

This is the answer to the trivia question..how bad are things.

Second inning for Tarik Skubal needed only 7 pitches with a double play turned behind him to end the inning. He's likely done after two innings & 12 pitches this afternoon. He'll finish throwing today in the @wmwhitecaps bullpen.
2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1K

Tigers 8th

Kelly pitching. (Warned for a illegal pitch)

Rogers K?s on 3 pitches.
Ex Sox player . Weak ground out to 2nd.
Zach M. 1-2. Swinging at shit. Then singles. Gets to 2nd on wild pitch
JB 0-2. Just terrible plate coverage in my opinion.1-2
Just another long warning track fly out from a Tiger hitter.

All we needed was a single JB. Your never going to pull that pitch out for a homer

Vaughn 0-2. Long foul, 1-2 , foul, 2-2. Long fly out to cF at the wall
Grandal. Weak ground to 2nd

[biggunsbob]

Props to you Bob for keeping us informed.

Wife at a party . So I have some time. Glad I can do it .

 

[biggunsbob]

We could sure use a damn extra base hit from Baez.or just a damn single.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th


Hendricks pitching

Sorry wife back may be spotty posting now.
Baddoo 3-2 count, foul, foul, Strikes looking on a ball that was probably a ball but to close to take.
Spencer Back to bad at bats.. swings at 1st pitch grounds out weakly in the pull field.
Nevin 2-2 count K?s. On check swing . This kid is seriously over matched.

Guys who need to be shipped out.

Rogers, Maton , Nevin , Many others


White Sox 9th
Lange in

Lead off single. Sigh steals on a wild pitch runner on 2nd .
Sheets 1-2 then 2-2 , 3-2 K?s nasty breaking or curve something.
Moncada ph. 3-2 count. BB (Seriously Anderson is on deck)
Anderson up. 3-1. Lange not sharp. 3-2 count. BB. Piece of shit Ump gave that pitch to white Sox pitchers bases loaded
Burger Grand slam 6-2 final

Anderson should have K?d

 

[biggunsbob]

Sorry guys I tried everything to get a win. Cat , Sox, changed cloths .

This team can?t hit. If we lose 3 in a row to a crappy white Sox team this May be a long losing streak with the teams coming up.Philadelphia, Braves , and Arizona.


Tigers wasted 3 great starting pitching performances this weekend because we can?t hit a lick . Seriously will Harris have to balls or send guys packing because we have a roster full of underperforming offensive players.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's a tough game.

 

[kalinecountry]

Who the **** saw this coming? Lange gave up a walk off GS.
He had been pitching lights out.
I thought Boyd would have given up his usual 1 or 2 homeruns in a start, and he pitched great for 5 innings.

The phillies series will have Wentz, Hill just up from the minors, and Olsen.

Get used to not having Riley Greene probably until around or after the All-Star break. E-Rod about the same.

 

[lonesometiger]

Thanks B !


Maton and Ibanez should be sent packing, and they are hitting back to back.

Tigers bottom 5 swingers finish below the cabrera .202 line today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cabrera can't catch so I guess jake gets a pass. For a player that supposed to be a starter man has he become a disappoint.
