Soto and Fulmer both need to ride the pine for a bit...let other guys who arent shit-ballers have a shot at some of these roles.  But, we all know how managers "have" to follow their formula...Soto and Fulmer will get too many chances to shit their pants at crucial moments, because "basebawwwll" things...

Man, sure feels like the wheels bout to fall off

Pull him AJ what the fuk are you doing?!

Man, good for Tork

Great for Miggy, but I have to debbie downer a little by the fact that he's by far the best bat in this lineup at this stage in his career.

It's so bad this year, and isn't just the Tigers. 

You'd think they would want to tighten up in a time when so many are clamoring to replace them 

It's like they are subconciously manifesting the downfall of their legitmate usage as humans.

Good Lord, Roboumps please 

It's f*cking non-stop with these horrifically bad umps.  I seriously dont recall seeing such consistently bad calls damn near every game, by different umps.  Are they just getting dumber? I dont get it...it's like ump idiocracy.

Robbie coulda used a robot ump on that at bat...1st and 3rd pitches were easily outside the zone

Bout to get out of reach.

Lost 4 of 5 at home against a team that is literally having a fire sale and is basically trotting out a minor league roster.  Oh, and the only actual potential MLB starting position player AL has drafted that is on the team in Tork, is on the cusp of getting sent back down.  Give that man an extension!

Would the A's take Fulmer, Brieske, Jiminez, and Viedo for Montaz?  Tbh, I just dont want to see Fulmer anymore...he's baked.

Oh look, another homeplate ump ushering in robots to take his job.

Stronk.

What does Montas do for this team? Another guy to lose 3-2?

You're telling me a rotation of Montaz, Erod, Mize, Skubal, and Manning, when all healthy, is not better than what we currenly have?  Eventually we'll be pining for young arm like Montaz that this team could sign and control when the bats finally wake up a bit.  Montaz could be a piece here for a while, Erod for example, is not.

Miggy gets a middle-middle fastball, maybe slightly down, and pops it straight up.

lol

And he'll hit in 3-4 spot all season regardless of results, because "but muh loyaltys, it's miggeeee!!", it's the leyland ghost of gary shefield as a tiger.

With this glut of "great young arms", why try to add what could potentially be the best arm in this rotation in Montaz, amiright ALLLLL?!

With the pitching we were getting, our record shouldn't be this bad. I don't think many people thought our hitting would be this bad. Where's the power?

It's nauseating I admit...I'm still in the frustrated, irritated, mildy angry phase of Tiger fandom over this team, but it's getting perilously close to not caring/apathy/giving zero effs, until something drastic happens at this point, ie, they turn it around or Avila's gets the axe, or better yet, Chris sells the team;  he's taken the place of William Clay Ford in my Detroit sports fan heart.

Listening at work again...about to turn it the more pleasurable "mating yaks in rut" radio.

No reason to worry, the Tigers will put up 10 runs today. We're due. Overdue?

No way, after scoring six the other day, need a good 4-5 games of 2 or less runs to hit season per game avg. So I'm guessin maye Saturday the team wins one and puts up a crooked number, followed by the proper amount of games in a row to reach to 2 per game aggregate again, rinse repeat.

Remember when the Tigers had actual, functional MLB catchers? That was cool.

A's with first hit, about to get out of reach

The Illitch Concern promised to develop District Detroit as a multi-purpose development and have not lived up to their word.     God is angry.  

I'm beginning to think that Chris is, indeed, what the kids call "a douchebag"...
