I admit, I didn't expect this. Outstanding use of the BP by Hinch. Yeah, it's easier when the offense scores so many runs but still, good job.

I would rather see Short.

Holton in line for the dub if the Tigers hold on?

Tigers offense...wide awake, great approach. Clutch hitting. Tigers outfield defense, gunning down runners. Tigers infield defense, turning incredible double plays. Where has this team been?

When's the trade deadline? We may still have time to get Rodriguez healthy enough to move him. Prolly not for much but anything is better than what we would get when he opts out.

They just may need longer to develop. Age isn't as important when discussing a prospect. Remember, there was no minor league season at all in 2020. Or 2021, I don’t remember. So going by age isn't the best indicator, across all of the minor leagues. Older rookies coming to a town near you...lol

The age of some of these younger players is misleading. They lost a full year of development because of covid. Bringing them up before they're ready is like.....eating undercooked chicken. It may taste good at first but you soon regret it...lol

I just like watching them compete. How many starting pitchers are hurt? Maybe it's time people looked into our trainers?

4 game series and 2 of the games are BP days? Where's our SP depth? Unbelievable, the most important series of the season up to this point. 10 straight division games? There's not a lot of room for error.

2 BP days in a 4 game series. And the other game to be started by Wentz. Get Alexander up already!!

We get to enjoy a win for 1 1/2 days. I looked at our record and at the standing after last night's win and that was pretty hopeless. We need to sweep the Twins in our next series.

So having a VPN on my phone is useless? I thought it hid my location and device from prying eyes?

You lost me at whilst. 😆

Too bad we don't have Fulmer..or Chafin...or Soto. BP arms are over-rated. Until they cost you games.....

If he would have been using a VPN he would have been OK?

A run? Is this even legal?

OMG......I just noticed their record...15-50. I did a double take. Prolly sweep the Tigers. 🤣🤣

Seriously, a 1 page game thread. We used to have a one page GDT the day before a game. Yes, there's a new web site. Yes, there's other social media now. But if the Tigers were winning and in 1st place, we would have at least a dozen pages. At least!

5-0 might as well be 100-0 with this anemic offense.

In the past, with many franchises, a new GM comes in and isn't loyal to players he didn't draft. Tork has been given 1 1/2 years to show what he can do. Unless he gets hot for an extended period in the 2nd half, I could see Harris moving on from him. He didn't draft Tork...

Put the BP out there for too many innings and it will expose them. But not scoring any runs and terrible pitching makes for a really bad team.

The scary thing is last year and early this season, our pitching kept us in games. Now, the pitching seems to be faltering. Maybe it's the pressure of having to be perfect because of our inept offense? Pitchers know giving up a few runs means a sure loss?

The Tigers put an importance on "controlling the strike zone". While this may work while pitching, other teams have caught on to our hitting tendencies. Taking pitches trying to get ahead in the count? Good individual idea but when every player tries it, other teams just pound the strike zone. That puts us in a lot of 0-2 counts. And looking at BA in regards to the count, hitters don't fare well after falling behind. It's not a good team hitting strategy. Just my opinion.

How fitting.

And I believed McKinstry was on the IL. Thanks, Lee. 😁
