This one really sucks...if they walk out of New York with a win, they basically meet expectations going against a team as good as the Yankees They had a chance but the defense just collapsed. Six outs to win a ballgame, the bullpen did its part, but the defense failed. Obviously wished they would have done more in the 10th offensively, but the game felt lost after they allowed NY to score without a single hit in the 8th

Lol, he'll never get the money he's currentlu owed if he plays like this

When your offense is as bad as there's, it basically forces pitching and defense to get perfect to win. And today, the defense fell short Pretty simple really

Miggy!

Yes

We ride him hard, but glad to see him come up with one!

Terrible lol

He definitely should survive the initial round of optioning associated with Meadows coming back

Has Suzyn Waldman called Rony Garcia a AA scrub yet?

Morning baseball and the Tigers offense... ample excuse to drink early and often lol

Fortune favors the bold.... W

A publication called "RedState" calling someone who doesn't agree with its POV liberal? That's about as shocking as the Tigers scoring zero runs today

The Yankees TV broadcast isn't quite as bad, especially with David Cone elevated, he's pretty fair. But yeah, the Yankees oriented media have this tendency to act like the Yankees are entitled to at least 5 runs against pitchers that aren't big names or they haven't heard of and it's sort of ridiculous. Some of it is the Yankees stature, but tbh, some of it is laziness as well... maybe I'm spoiled by Dan Dickerson, but maybe do a little research before the next opponent comes to town... Beau Brieske isn't the best pitcher, but by virtue of what he has shown in the bigs to date, he clearly doesn't belong in AA either.

Play Cameron and Hill in the outfield every single game. Since they are so shorthanded, platoon Clemens and W.Castro. It's not that hard, but Willi's BABIPfest that ended 2+ weeks ago seems to have folks convinced that his bat is useful enough to ignore his inability to play the outfield. I just don't agree.... and looking between the lines, it's pretty clear that it's not happening game after game purely out of desperation. Ill gladly eat crow when Meadows and Greene end up elevated and W.Castro is demoted or not playing outfield. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Come on, really? Sure I'm glad that Willi is happy to play wherever, that doesn't mean that the Tigers should just play him wherever, nor does it absolve Al or AJ or whoever from criticism when the decision doesn't work out. Even with as bad as the offense has been, you can't just put a guy with a .640 OPS in a position he doesn't know how to field. I can't see how to countenance it

With respect, eat it Suzyn

Major kudos to Brieske for this start... not an easy place to play and not an easy lineup to face. And pitched his best game of the year. Too bad he wasn't backed by competent offense

With Vest and Foley pitching as they have been and with Cisnero and Alexander on the way back, Joe oughtta feel a little nervous.

Old Joe makes an appearance at Yankee Stadium this afternoon lol

At least they'll get better defense lol

This is true. They did just come off of shutting down the Angels... still frustrating tho

I love Cody, but he's just wrong here... it's not realistic to expect pitchers to throw a shutout every game. And often times the Tigers force their starters to do that.

Still pretty impressed by the start for Brieske here... just completely failed by the offense so far
