Motor City Sonics

Mize is pitching tonight. So Tigers, you make sure that you don't score more than 1 run, okay? Think you can manage that? At least they aren't facing a lefty - so we won't have to see Zach Short in the lineup. HEY TIGERS - NOW THAT YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CAN USE McKINSTRY AT SHORTSTOP AGAIN - HOW ABOUT THIS Out - Perez, Jones, Short, Workman, IN - Anderson, Malgeri, Julks, Jung. Just try it. Just do something. The Hens are at Home this week. It's a one-hour drive from Toledo. TRY SOMETHING, TRY ANYTHING. WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING THESE TERRIBLE PLAYERS TO STAY HERE? CUT THEM. NOBODY WILL CLAIM JONES AND EVEN IF THEY DID - WHO CARES ?!?!?

Wencel Perez: Detroit Tigers 3-year MLB outfielder has stats so bad they're hard to comprehend https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/detroit-tigers/news/detroit-tigers-3-year-mlb-outfielder-wenceel-perez-has-stats-so-bad-theyre-hard-comprehend/c12366149c22d7a72d97a6c6

I think they're tanking it now to make it more justifyable to the fans to trade Skubal. That's all I can come up with - for this team's total inaction.

I was pulling for Veirling, but I'm done with him too. This was his chance to show he's an actual major league player and he's just crapped his pants. Move on from him too. Try anything. Just do something different, but they've fallen so far out of even the worst division that it's just over now. Again, please tell me why A.J. Hinch seems so untouchable.

I keep championing for Ben Malgeri to replace him. I don't know if he'd be any better, but he can't possibly be worse. But you know what, this manager and front office has waited to long to make the moves. This season is over and the people responsible for this shouldn't be here anymore. Players, coaches and all. Goodbye !

This is like the famous Eddie & The Cruisers album that disappeared A SEASON IN HELL ! What a mess. The return of Baez, Carpetner, Meadows and Skubal won't save them. Only question about the rest of this season is what they can get for Skuban and/or Mize.

I was there. A million years ago.

New and Green? Wasn't he the GM for the Giants for several years before he came here? He wasn't that green.

I think the next 3 games are at home vs. the Angels and then they go to Chicago.

Okay. Day off. Back home now. Mud Hens are at home. 1-hour drive. Let's make some moves. Max Anderson and Ben Malgeri need to come here and Jones and Short need to go away. Use McKinstry as the backup SS if they have to, but with a day off, a 21-year old kid should be able to start and play full games at SS for the next week. Does anyone know how close Javy is?

Yep, Zack ****ing Short starts both ends of a double header. Fire Hinch.

Because Reasons. Why are Short and Jones on this team? Reasons.

They didn't figure out how to win. We figured out how to lose.

Last year's Trade Deadline. To come away with Charlie Morton and Chris Paddack and whomever that injured stiff from Cleveland was, Paul something, Was it Sewald? Did we even get 5 inning out of him? That showed me that the team was more interested in filling the Illitch family parking lots downtown than they were in actually winning. The the Pistons do the same crap. Great season - pickup up a stiff at the deadline who contributes nothing Guess I'll have to savor that 2008 Stanley Cup for a lot longer.

Hey, Jansen didn't throw that many pitches, maybe he's available for Game 2 !

The only deal Harris should be making is the deal where he sells his house in the Detroit area and moves back to San Francisco.

I feel like that just ended their season - and it's Memorial Day. Massive changes are needed.

F this team. What a bunch of losers.

But man, could he dive to make a catch that didn't require diving.

Might as well roll Bernie Lomax out there. At least he wouldn't swing at pitches nowhere near the strike zone.

Baltimore's record is barely better than ours and Baltimore's pitching is pretty bad (at least the starters). If not now, then when? We're all waiting for Carpenter, Baez, Torres and Meadows to come back, but are any of them close?

6 guys in this starting lineup are hitting .200 or lower. I'll forgive Lee because I don't think he was ready for MLB yet. And I know there isn't much else on the bench with Veirling (.200), Rogers (.159 and short (.067). But Keith hits .246/.299 vs. lefties in his career. He's only 1 for 9 this year because Stanford Boy won't even let him see lefites. But Keith vs. Lefties is better than most of thes right-handed hitters. So stop babying him. You are paying him like a major leaguer, treat him like one. Perez, Workman, Jones..........why are they even here. Okay, maybe Malgeri, Julks, Jung, DeJong and Max Anderson wouldn't be better, but they can't possibly be worse, can they? Can we give it a shot and find out? Can we shake this thing up? Maybe some of these guys come out of their coma if they see other guys getting sent to go eat the Tony Packo's diet. Jones is on the team because he's out of options. That's their hangup and that absolutely shows you just how bad this team really is. It is worse than 2003. In 2003 we had no expectations. Sometimes you need to change for the sake of change and I've never seen a clearer example of it with the Tigers. And I've been paying attention since May 15, 1976. This is just brutal roster management and the lineup and game decisions aren't much better. Jones .175 / .254 Perez .160 / .212 Torkelson .194 /.306 Lee .200 / .250 McKinstry .193 / .253 Workman .179 /.179

We could be like the Braves last year where injuries derailed the season (about the same timing too) but they recovered this year (2028 for us). Or we could be the Orioles - who looked like a young contending team two years ago - but the management didn't bolster it and those young players crashed down to earth and they look like they are ready to start rebuilding again after a two-year run. I feel like we are the Orioles here.

Even before the injuries they weren't exactly setting the world on fire this season, they were .500. I think we had a lucky stretch where McKinstry, Baez and a couple other players played way above their average and now they are literally crashing before our eyes. When Baez, Carpenter and Meadows come back - and they are still welll below .500 (which is what I think is going to happen), do they even consider changing managers? I just don't know why Hinch seems so untouchable. August 2024 - June 2025 looks more lucky than good now, doesn't it?
