07/27/2023 TBD Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers (Game 2 of Doubleheader)

[Motor City Sonics]

This crappy week is great for the Tigers because there is no way they will screw up and be buyers at the deadline now.

So much for the easy part of our schedule. Now we get to play some really good teams. When does football start? 😄

notice that Cabrera had a live round next up in the chamber - singled in his 1st AB today. Just sayin....

Ohtani vs boys

[AZTigersfan]

So the tigers are historic again. I imagine they’re the first ever to allow a 1 hit shutout then 2 homers to the same guy in a double header. Yuck

[romad1]

You can’t hit our emo Baez

[Tigeraholic1]

The boys in the booth mentioned Hal Newhouser having his numbered retired in history today. Found this little tid bit I didn’t know. 

 

After his retirement from baseball, Newhouser stepped away from the sport for 20 years, serving as a bank vice president. He later worked as a scout for several MLB teams, including the Houston Astros. Angered when they rebuffed his recommendation to draft future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter in favor of Phil Nevin, he quit shortly after.

Jake, you tool.

The fans showed up to see Ohtani today.  And he didn’t disappoint.

Is it okay to call this team "unmitigated ass" again?  I know that apt descriptor of this team had hurt some ppl in the butt earlier this season.

[Tigermojo]

Well that was brutal.

Been some rough days this year (although not as many as I expected), but this one was likely the worst. Not really competitive in either game.

It would be best for this team's future morale if somehow, some way, Harris could get Harvy the f*ck outta here.  He actually seems like a good dude personally, but with him supposedely being paid/brought in to be the allegede "leader" of this team....well, it's not workable given his play.

Since the 9 game losing streak and then losing the home series against the A's?

Thankfully they are on the road for the next couple series. Tigers are more competitive away from Comerica. 24-27 on the road (-27 run differential); 22-30 at home (-70 run differential). Probably just statistical noise. Notice Tork much better on the road (765 OPS and 11 HRs) than at home (670 OPS and 4 HRs).

Especially when your whole strategy is control the strike zone and your young players watch the human windmill at the plate. Do as I say, not as I do.

My dachshund likes to eat the cat's food.  We have to close the basement door to keep her from sneaking down to do that.  Maybe we should try something like that with Tork?

win three of four against the royals: "we should totally be buyers, we are so ready to compete in this weak division".

lose a couple to the angels: "we are in a dystopian hellscape of despair and will never win another game."

you guys are the best.
