Tork being good makes this team so different. What a win.

An excited Dan Dickerson calls Tork’s winner Tork Walk Off Over White Sox.m4a

Torkelson was the Tigers’ big offseason acquisition.

If anything, by exploiting their cheap labor and lax labor laws, we (or at least our corporations) have been the ones who have been exploiting those countries.

If it weren’t for Sweeney hustling to beat that double play throw, it’s two outs and the game is tied on Tork’s hit … maybe. Sweeney created the conditions that led to the specific outcome we saw today.

OK, I know we're supposed to be welcoming people like this into the fold and if they're doing some serious self reflection I'll be happy to do that. It's just hard, because it always seems like the only thing that sways them is when something affects them directly. As long as the bad stuff is directed at the 'others' pain is necessary or even good.

Great game from Baez today.

Prepared statement: "Fraud is a prosecutable crime. There is indeed fraud in Government. President Trump, for example has been found guilty on 34 counts of fraud."

No Greene? On Sunday? Glad I didn’t drive from the Upper Peninsula to Detroit with my kid to see him.

A petting zoo with tigers?

They should take it out to their defensive position for the next half inning.

How about not have a pre-planned celebration? Just be sponaneous and real.

What? But you can't finish in 6th place if there's only 5 teams. Do your math..........oh, oh I GET IT !!!! Maybe they'll trade for Anthony Rendon. That sounds like a White Sox thing.

Here we go....

Ugh. That's about all I can come up with. It's not easy to be an ecologist when so many don't even pretend to know anything about it. Some don't even believe in ecosystems at all, let alone that destroying them will have serious consequences for all of us.

I'm so happy for Tork. He was getting written off by a lot of us but man he has definitely been a different player this year. Great comeback boys!

It's kinda weird, I see Tork come up and feel total confidence. I figured he would at least tie the game. But he won it!

Tigers still control their own destiny. 😅

That was beautiful! Last year, Tork would have struck out or hit into a DP.

3-2

Rally cap on, Tigers baseball on, fun times.

Tense bottom of 9th…

IDK - In 2006 JV had one rough start in April but finished May with a 2.55 ERA. Jobe has some work to do to duplicate that, but here's hoping. (If you are comparing to JV two poor starts in 2005, then that comparison means Jobe should be in Toledo.) But the other side of the question is there anyone at Toledo that is likely to be any better. Neither Manning or Montero off to particularly impressive starts.

Score runs dummies

Not only does nobody have to pay any of these 100,000 people to show up, I would bet that a high percentage of them would have paid ten or twenty bucks for the pleasure of showing up.

Evidently it was estimated that there were 100,000 people at the event in Boston yesterday-not everybody could fit into City Hall Plaza. We had Lt. Governor Driscoll, Sen. Markey, Rep. Pressley, and Mayor Wu as some of our speakers. I made the mistake of reading comments to a Fox Digital story about it-evidently we 'don't know what we're protesting' or 'don't want to work real jobs' and I've also seen a few cases in which it's insinuated that we're vandals and that there was violence. And as for George Soros-he must be broke if he's really paying 3.5 million people to show up to these things. So... while I wasn't approached yesterday, I'm thinking it would be a good thing to have a prepared statement to give if somebody does decide to ask me for a comment. Though TBH, as a poster near me said, the number of things I'm mad about don't exactly fit on a standard poster board. 😉

So the White Sox have a sacrifice bunt to move the runners forward and a sacrifice fly to score a run so it sounds like the not very exciting White Sox of the 1960s. Sometime during then, they were freezing baseballs too.

I think Dirks is nowhere near as good on TV with Benetti as he was with Dan on radio. I think it's because he and Benetti are the same age and have the same propensity for humor, so they end up trying to top each other and, in my view, it gets a bit out of control. Dan is all business, so Dirks was more business-like and therefore more listenable on radio. BTW, I feel bad for you people for having to sit through an interview with a hockey player during a Tigers game.

That throw from CF on Javys single was embarassing

Go look at Verlander’s first year. That’s where I see Jobe at with struggling to put people away with 2 strikes and allowing hitters back in the count. Also Skubals first year where he gave up a lot of home runs. Jobe is going to struggle from time to time but he absolutely needs to be in the major leagues learning. With smaller amount of minor league teams the gap between mlb and aaa has never been bigger and his stuff is to good there.

If he really wanted Bregman, why didn't Harris offer him the opt-out he wanted after year one?

Have him in the line-up at all against LHP may be a confidence building move which I am glad they are making.

Maybe they have some of the cutout fans from the COVID season somewhere in the basement they could haul out for it? Or, to your point, hire seat-fillers a la Oscars? The real problem is the swell home plate club they tie to these seats. When the game gets boring, or the weather too hot or too cold, or they just have someone in the seat who's there for business and doesn't give a rip about the game or about baseball in general, they're going to the club to schmooze. This is a problem all teams create for themselves by chasing the short term dollar.

Its the Jerk Sox. They've already got a foot out the door anyway. Their next series is in Cleveland on Tuesday, but they have to walk because the school bus that they used to get to Detroit had to be returned. The south side schools had spring break last week, but they're back to school tomorrow. Ain't no way they could haul the Jerk Sox from Detroit to Cleveland, head back to Chicago, and then be disinfected, all in time to pick up the youngsters tomorrow morning.

Game time changes for this weeks Yankees series.

@Detroit Tigers Ownership @illitchfamily @ChrisIllitch Figure out how to fill that box seat area behind home plate. You should bring in attractive models so our broadcasts look visually interesting aside from the baseball. I would suggest you cast a diverse group. Avoid obvious costumes. So, if you do cast baseball gays, make sure they don't look like the pride float or Carmen Miranda. Avoid blackface, turbans, or native tribal headresses just for the purposes of showing diversity.

Hi South Lyon i was in you yesterday and was the guy that gave the solidarity fist in the air to the guy driving the Lucid with the LOLTSLA personalized plates.

I know... was really only replying to the post where it was implying they were hurting the team so far this year. I still think McKinstry gets a bad wrap in these parts.

I was up in Lansing today exercising my 1st Amendment right and protesting. There were probably around 3,000 or so people there. Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist spoke, as did Attorney General Dana Nessel, and a few of the State Representatives.

wow shade...

I chose to take only one picture and this was it. There wasn't enough room in City Hall Plaza to fit everybody!

Eugene/Springfield Oregon. We even got the Lorax out on the lines.

We now lead the AL Central and are the cream of the crap.

Does he get a HUGE handicap for his age. In reality he'd probably deport anyone who beats him.

Like Alonso said last night. There isn't another driver at the moment who could put that car on pole like Max did.

So is the skyrocketing inflation and stock market crash still on Biden's bloody hands or can we put some pressure of the Trump admin yet?
