Prepare for disappointment

As a Tigers fan, I am always prepared for disappointment

No way Harris does not make a splash and sign one of the big SS. The money will be there. Seems like a pretty good bet, to me

how do you know he has a painkiller addiction?  is that the rumor?

He seems to have completely made it up out of thin air

Seems pretty shitty to just assume the guy is addicted to painkillers for...no real reason at all? Seriously please fill me in

Let the record show that Spencer hit that ball really hard 

Not to turn this place into reddit but Shep is truly just intolerable. Whatever positive spin he just tried to put on the Skubal injury turned my stomach. I understand it's kind of his job but 🤢

Excited for Norris tonight. God help me

Carpenter's family on the picture-in-picture was too much there. Bally Detroit way too thirsty for it, as usual. Jinxed the kid!

I'd say "DFA Hutchison", but they'd probably just re-sign him.

though with Al out of the picture... hmmm...

Somebody touched on it upthread, but this is really the most exciting part here in the short term. We are no longer going to be shackled to folks like Daz Cameron, Drew Hutchison, Victor Reyes, etc. Would love to see some DFAs before the end of the month.

Tork back below .200 in AAA. Not a great night!

Tork just went deep btw. 2-3 with a double and a homer so far in Iowa.

If you're gonna go as far to have Baddoo on the ML roster and getting ABs, why in the world can't Hinch move him up from the ninth spot for a spell and see what happens? What would be the worst thing that happens honestly at this point

i forgot about erod (lmao) - i guess we can reasonably hope for 180 IP from him next season. no idea where the rest comes from

Stat of the day:  The Tigers leaders in innings pitched are:

1. Tarik Skubal 117 2/3
2. Beau Brieske, 81 2/3
3. Drew Hutchison, 55 2/3
4. Alex Faedo, 53 1/3
5. Rony Garcia, 51

 

wow. i mean i guess i knew it was bad, but seeing it spelled out like this is another level. there is no way we are not completely fucked for the next 2-3 seasons, at least

78 pitches for Manning. I'm not sure what his pitch counts were in rehab.

Think he went 75 or so last outing in Toledo.

At least Tork has a homer tonight lol

This is better news than pretty much anything good that could even happen in this DET-MIN game, honestly

Is Candy's play diving back to third the dumbest play of the season, or is it Haase flipping the ball into left field?

I think it might actually be Candy

edit: both at Target Field 😅

Shep keeps saying how "stunning" this is, but personally I would be more stunned by literally any other thing happening

Saw on twitter Skubal's velocity was sitting 92-93 in the fifth. Not looking good imo 😕 

The only way Skubal comes out in that situation is injury or trade. What the hell.

Just now, kdog said:

Skubal pulled at 77 pitches through 5.

huh

Derek HIll DFA'd to make room for Chafin

edit: oops wrong threasd

Joe Jimenez deserves a post for that. Goddamn...

Uhhh Tigers are kinda teeing off against Manoah. What is going on

Miggy is gonna get a nice ovation from the Toronto fans. That'll be fun, at least.
