5 Edit; this inning

Oh my...Just lose already. Give up a HR now and roll over.

Why...why...just why am I watching? Do I enjoy pain? Heartbreak? This game has absolutely no meaning, this Tiger team is a 100 loss team.

First a walk then the slam. Tie game.

We score 10 runs and it's white knuckles late innings. This team really, really stinks.

Hinch taking another late game nap?

Mullins in a .190 hitter. Throw strikes you minor league freaking idiot.

Free Pass Bullpen Blues.

Brieske blows.

Vest for the 9th? Or Brieske to go 2 innings if he has an easy 8th?

We have our centerfielder of the future playing in Toledo right now. Meadows had every chance to hang onto a job but constant injuries derailed any chance of have a longer career here. Good luck to him...

Riley needs a triple.

Riley needs a triple for the cycle.

Jack in the Box...

Losing 2 run leads hurts but if we somehow lose a 6 run lead? Even I'll stop watching then. And I'm a diehard.

Tigers Threaten AND score...

There were quite a few quality bats that signed for money that would have fit in our payroll; https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-free-agents-2025-2026

And cherry picking a single stat to compare players is exactly what the Google AI was talking about. Put Walker in San Diego for his entire career against Gwynn and it would show Gwynn as a much, much better hitter. At least, that was what that AI was implying. IDK, I really have no opinion, I never got a chance to see either player very often.

Do you think the Tigers are holding him back in case there's no strike next year and he can have a chance at ROY? Or maybe holding him back in case there IS a strike so he'll still be able to play MiLB? Or is he on the 40 man roster and not allowed any team involvement?

I hear Tampa likes to bunt. Something to be said about putting the ball in play.

Even calling up a player to play CF (Max Clark??) would allow Vierling to move to RF. Improves our defense and how much worse could the hitting actually be?

Yeah. I was thinking about how happy Hinch is to have Carpenter back. Now he has 2 LH hitters to pinch hit with a .150 hitter. Wait for Short to start pinch hitting for Keith. 😁

But like I said, we don't really know if Hinch wants players brought up. Short, Jones and Perez should all be demoted. We all see that. But does Harris see it? Here's a thought...what the hell does Harris even do every day? He sure isnt doing anything to improve this Tiger team. Seriously, how hard can he possibly be working? Does he spend a half hour every day going over the waiver wire to bring in rejects from other teams?

Montero MAY have given up a home run, Hinch says. It was HIS game to finish, it very well may have been a complete game shutout. It you watch, he claims it wasn't a gut decision. Uhhh...yes. it was. A good manager would admit he made the wrong call...Hinch refuses to admit he screwed up. And he did.

A weak offense and a horrible bullpen. This isn't because of injuries. Its all on roster construction, terrible manager decisions and players not performing. Sometimes changes need to be made just for change sake. Hinch should be replaced as manager. His terrible decisions are costing us games. Maybe a new manager could talk Harris into bringing in some Toledo players or making other necessary moves. (Trades)
