UCFKNIGHT

Does Jeff Greenberg have any authority to make decisions concerning this team? I cannot believe he and Scott Harris are in complete agreement on what is currently taking place with the Tigers. I wonder if Greenberg regrets leaving the NHL and the Chicago Blackhawks?

When will AJ Hinch be held accountable for hiring such a poor coaching staff on the offensive side of the game? 

I watched the first 2 innings today and made the decision to turn this game off. I just can't watch another game with soft contact being the order of the day from this lineup. It hurts me to write this. It really does.

Matt Manning should be a closer. His pitches are good enough to get just about any MLB lineup out for two or three innings.

The Tigers need to just DFA Baez and eat the remainder of his contract. When is enough going to be enough? Baez has been nothing but lazy in his stint with the Tigers and Hinch doesn't even have the common sense to bench him. AJ Hinch(Stanford) believes he's the smartest guy in the room. Brad Ausmus was the same damn way. Yes, I just said the quiet part out loud.

Why are the Tigers playing the infield shift tonight? The shift cost the tigers at least two runs against Miami tonight.

Kenta Maeda is going on the IL. He apparently has the flu. Matt Manning is also going to pitch in the Miami Marlins series. I believe Monday’s game.

Scott Harris and AJ Hinch are friends so Hinch is safe for this season, however I would like to see someone start calling out Hinch for his mistakes. The players on this current roster and coaches are just too comfortable and don't have to accept any accountability. Holy Crap!! I'm beginning to sound like Mike Valenti.

I believe Jason Foley is injured. He has not had any strikeouts in his last 6 appearances. His velocity is down at least 3mph and he isn't missing bats anymore. Something is definitely suspicious.

Tonight the Guardians smoked Kenta Maeda like a cigar. Luckily, Andy Ibanez and Ryan Vilade quickly returned the favor in the same game.

Hinch hanging Maeda out to dry.

Am I understanding things correctly? AJ Hinch has three batting instructors on his coaching staff? What assignment is each of these instructors given? The hitting instructors are just stealing money. Hinch should fire two of them to get the attention of the entire coaching staff.

Start spreading the news, Parker Meadows average has hit .100! 

Why is Scott Harris refusing to demote Meadows to AAA? Hopefully, Torkelson will begin to get his act together at the plate. Harris should trade Torkelson ASAP.

The Tigers should make Matt Manning their closer. His pitches are good enough to get just about any MLB lineup out the first time through the batting order. From the fourth inning on, Manning fails miserably.

I told you the Tigers would slap around the Royals tonight. I wasn't worried at all.

😁😁

Spencer Torkelson has his money and doesn't really care if he excels in MLB. Johnny Manziel didn't care about his NFL career once his signing bonus was deposited into a bank. Johnny and Spencer are the same lazy people just robbing owners in different sports. 

Is Carson Kelly going on the IL? Tigers need to slap the Royals around tonight.

I hate it when the Tigers have to play at Tropicana Field. At least Detroit won this series. Now, they have to focus on beating Kansas City.

Meadows has struck out 10 times in his last 14 at-bats. I think we have reached the breaking point.

I wonder if Parker Meadows is thinking about his brother Austin's mental health issues? It's just a thought. Austin Meadows mental health issues didn't surface until he was traded to Detroit. The Tigers should send Parker to AAA so he can hit the reset button at the plate.

It’s obvious the Tigers don’t want the sweep against the Rays. Want the current road trip to end and just going through the motions tonight 

Tigers defense was a little shaky when Kenta Maeda was in the game, however he definitely looked more relaxed on the mound tonight.

Let's win this series and game 2 tonight!

I was too young and didn't see the Tigers win the World Series in 1968. I knew Dwight Lowry and Bill Fahey. I was a batboy for the Lakeland Tigers from 1981-1985. Dwight Lowry was our starting catcher in 1982 and Bill Fahey was our field manager in 1984. Dwight and Bill, two very good guys. Easy to get along with.

All-time backup catchers: Dwight Lowry, Bill Fahey and Sal Butera. Dwight(R.I.P.)

Parker Meadows, Javier Baez and Jake Rogers went 5 for 11 tonight against the Rays.

Another solid outing for our pitchers in this game. 12 K's and only 2 BB.
