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.

Judge in the Hockey Canada sex charges trial is reading her verdict. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-hockey-canada-sexual-assault-trial-verdict-live-updates-reactions/ Judge: 'I do not find the evidence of E.M. to be either credible or reliable’ Robyn Doolittle Reporter in London, Ont. Justice Carroccia says: “I do not find the evidence of E.M. to be either credible or reliable.” She finds that consent was not vitiated by fear. As the judge says these words, members of the accused players’ families have broken down in tears. Justice Maria Carroccia says that “with respect to the charges before this court, having found that I cannot rely upon the evidence of E.M.… I conclude that the Crown cannot meet its onus on any of the counts before me.”

Guardians win. Royals win. Astros win. Jays win.

The Tigers are demoralized Harris hasn't made any trade deadline acquisitions.

And here's the run differential in the past 10 games: L4 L9 L8 L4 L2 L3 W1 L3 L3 L5

We need to start stealing signs.

This is like when you're feeling rundown at work and can't wait for the 4-day long weekend to come so you can feel rejuvenated. Then you come back from that weekend hoping for a fresh start and a week later you're feeling as burnt out as you did beforehand.

I thought today was going to be payback for times in the past when a team would call up an unknown pitcher and they would shutout the Tigers on 3 hits over 6 innings.

5-0 pirates already. When it rains it pours. The games haven’t even been close I feel bad for Melton’s parents, it is such a big day for the family.

Next time the Tigers throw up a stinker here's a show recommendation. The Partridge Family Goes To Detroit. Aired in 1971. "From Season 1, Episode 18 'Soul Club' - The Partridges and Ruben are in Detroit for a performance. Due to a booking mix-up, they arrive at the place where the Temptations are expected. The audiences are totally different. The Partridges agree to perform and hope for the best". Appearances by Richard Pryor, Lou Gossett Jr. Not to mention by series regular, the lovely Susan Dey. What more can you ask for.
