He actually has well below average swing length, 57th shortest out of 230 players and has the 3rd shortest on the Tigers.

Yet another hit on an 0-2 count.

Again a Tigers pitcher gets up 0-2 only to give up a walk. Now 2 on with Ramirez at the plate.

Not a terrible pitch but yet another time at Tigers pitcher gets ahead of the count but just can't put the guy away with 2 strikes. Been happening alot all series.

Vierling in Center with Carpenter playing in the field scares me, particularly in spacious Comerica Park.

Rainer just homered off a 97mph fastball from a lefty. Great sign!

I wanted Hinch to hit Greene for Torres in the bottom of the 7th when we had the tying run in scoring position. With a righty on the mound I felt like that was the key spot in the game and time to use Greene as a pinch hitter. Even if Greene failed, with 2 innings left there would have been a relatively good chance that he got to hit again so you could've gotten him 2 at bats in potential high leverage spots instead of just 1 when he hit him where he did.

The one in question was Randy Wolf, I of course had to look it up and yeah it was easy to forget about him since he was here in September of 2015. Considering that was our first selloff year and terrible year in general in about a decade I think most of us Tigers fans were checked out. I do vaguely remember going to a game he started though.

I know he only has 1 championship thus far but should Rick Carlisle rank among the best coaches of all time?

Kwan, Ramirez and Santana have a career OPS of a billion against us. I haven't fact checked it but I believe it to be accurate.

Good news, Nido cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Toledo. Thought we were for sure gonna lose him.

Skenes very well maybe worth that much to some team or somebody but not to me he isn't and that's not a slight on him it's just the nature of pitchers and the way the game is trending. If we were completely loaded with great young up the middle players on our roster I'd probably consider it but with all due respect to Sweeney and Meadows I just don't think we are.

Just read one of the legit most unbelievable random stats/tidbits I've heard in awhile and that is with SGA's MVP this now makes 9 straight seasons where the MVP didn't have a tattoo. Cade doesn't have any tattoos does he? If not maybe he can make it 10 straight next season!

I know it's a cold night and that could help explain it but still can't say I like seeing Flaherty's fastball sit at 90 and 91MPH. Doesn't seem like a good sign.

Giants put Verlander on the DL so no chance of him pitching in Comerica next week. It's been almost 8 yrs since he left and I don't think he has pitched here but maybe once or twice.

Funny how there were strong rumors and beliefs that Hutch was gonna play in the SB if we made it and here we are in the end of May and he is just getting cleared for football activities.

I still remember when I was maybe 6 or 7 yrs old my Dad waking me up in the morning and saying "Do you know what today is? It's the All Star Game!" It was a big deal to me but for him and probably his generation it was even bigger. BTW the game in question was the game where Bo Jackson led off the game with a HR. He was one of my favorites at the time so that was a cool thing for me.

I remember when ESPN did their "Fame" rankings a few years back where they took the 100 most famous athletes in the world. They used things like endorsements, social media followers and mentions among other things and I think out of the 100 only Ohtani made it from baseball. Just wild knowing how famous baseball players once were.

I think Riley will always fly under the radar cause he doesn't excel at things the MLB hypes like HR, steals or overall flashiness. You basically need to either be a 40/40 type guy or 50 HR guy to get any type of national hype.

They remind me alot of some of those old Rays teams that were always good. They have versatility up and down the lineup. Play good defense, run the bases well and always have players put in the best situation for them to succeed. Hopefully unlike them we actually will win a World Series though.

I've read a couple possible fluff pieces on Dylan Smith and how dominant he has looked since moving to the pen. I'm holding out hope that he could be a guy that could help us internally in the pen later this year.

The 2007 team? Im pretty sure they got to like 15 games over .500 by one point in the first half of the season.

We know Dombrowski and Avila along with Pudge had a connection with Miggy so once it became known in the inner circle of the league that he could be available I could see one or all of them talking him up to Ilitch. Then maybe a week or two later when it became known outside of the inner circle and national rumors started running rampant Mike may have went back to them and said go get that guy.
