White Sox vs Tigers, Game 62, June 15th 2022

Fuck this team. Looks like they quit

If that's the case, a lot of blame goes on the manager.

Strikeout Harold.

I remember when Baez sat out two games when he came back he said I'm not changing anything. He was true to that.

I didn't watch the game but followed it on line. I just saw a clip of Clemens pitching in the 8th. He was just tossing the ball up to the plate...maybe 40mph. For some reason, having all of these position players pitching bothers me. If you are going to give up...just call the game.

I find it odd that he's not taking any heat. Easy to just blame AA for everything I guess. Seem to remember people saying all the moves during the last off season were because of Hinch.

Closed door team meeting for upwards of an hour. I wonder if the "told what to write" Detroit Tigers media scribes will mention anything about this. I'm looking at you Detnews Freep and Mlive.


Hmm, closed door was a players meeting. I checked the other two sites and nothing.

They should have had one way before now.

Fans would, rightfully so, throw a fit. They didn't pay their money to go to a shortened game.

At that point in the game, for those that stayed, were already sitting in 90+ degree heat for 3 hours. They already endured enough pain and suffering.

If I were at the game, I would be more pissed that they lost 13-0 and had three position players pitching.

I watch the game today. You could have put the fans at the game in a thimble. There weren't enough there to put up a decent boo!

a Weast of money!

SPEED IT UP.
Totally Tigers

The latest news about Casey Mize needing Tommy John surgery makes us re-think, once again, how this rebuilding timeline will play out.

It?s not enough that the Tigers have been getting top prospects due to their tanking strategy.

They also have to develop them properly and keep them healthy.

We can be somewhat reassured that the team has now addressed the poor development process by brooming that department and bringing in all new people with impressive credentials.

Now they need to focus on maintaining their health with an emphasis on preventative care.

But even all of that is not enough.

The Tigers must consider their window of competitiveness. Something they failed to do back in the early-to-mid 2010?s. Something that left them with no rings or flags while players aged or became free agents.

The team has to consider 2 things. First, that they have a strategy for filling the non-pitching, positional roles. Even 2 years from now, there are question marks about who is going to take over at catcher, 2B, 3B and 2 outfield positions. That?s more than half the lineup.....
