Tigers’ lead about to drop to 7 over Cleveland because a dumb Royals player got picked off 2nd base in the 10th inning.

I misss the old days of June when the biggest thing we had to moan about was the empty seats behind home plate.

A great night for Sacramento baseball!

And 15 of his 19 total bases were on hits to the opposite field.

Crazy.

Tigers lose. Lead over Cleveland down to 7.5 games. How many more games until the Tigers’ run differential for the season (+61 currently) drops into the red.

The only silver lining (I'm grasping) is that it may be more "efficient" for all parts of the team to go cold at the same time - starters, bullpens, defense, offense. If you're going to lose, might as well lose by big margins. But need to at least a few of those elements to pull out of it - and soon!

I remember I dismissed your concerns about warning signs about the Tigers going into the All Star break. I bet you hate being right.

Tigers trail. Defense has cost the Tigers 2 runs this inning. Maybe more, as there are 2 on 2 out.

Greene must have got scared of his shadow or something. Tying run on 3rd, 1 out.

Tigers lead! They won’t play badly when wearing their nifty City Connect jerseys

2 pitches, 2 outs.

I approve of that message.

Well, in the past 2 weeks their division lead has shrunk from 14.0 to 8.0 over Cleveland, from 13.5 to 9.5 over KC and from 12.5 to 10.0 over Minnesota. An AL lead of 3.5 over Toronto and Houston 2 weeks ago has flipped to being 1.5 games behind Toronto and 0.5 games behind Houston. That is quite a change in just 2 weeks. Sure, if they snap out of it this weekend still will have a comfortable divisional lead to make the playoffs, but they’ve lost 1/3 of their lead and have lost (for now) the WC round bye

Is it true that the Tigers have been outscored 77-27 in past 11? Saw that one.

Just like that it’s 5-1. This one hurts more than the other slew of losses because the Tigers actually stayed competitive for awhile.

And sure enough, Guerrero makes the Tigers pay for the walk. Double ties the game.

I wanted the bases empty for Vlad and Bichette.

4-pitch inning. Our bats are still not back. 1-0 after 5.

Need some more runs before turning this over to the bullpen in a couple of innings.

This game is clipping along. Heading to the bottom of the 4th, Olson at only 50 pitches, Tigers lead 1-0.

A 1-2-3 top of the 1st and a home run in the bottom of the 1st. Maybe the Tigers are turning over a new leaf.

Effectively, in that they're middling talents at best except for Carter Hart so why should an NHL team take on that baggage. But the fact that the decision was by a (female) judge not a jury and that the judge obliterated the complainant may give an NHL team enough cover to sign Hart.

Guardians lose. Tigers' divisional lead is back up to 8.5 games.
