God bless the existence of worse teams than thine own. 

[1776]

If I don’t hear the fans chanting, “Sell Our Team!” tonight I’ll be disappointed. There are some die-hard fans there and as a lifelong baseball fan, I really hate it for them, whatever the circumstances.

Has Hinch ever won a challenge this year?

[Tenacious D]

Did the A’s really gift Miggy, a recovering alcoholic, a bottle of wine from Napa?

[gehringer_2]

A's outfield is some kind of bad.

That sounds like an Ozzie Guillen ploy.

Ah yes, I’m hearing my chant.

I am pretty sure there was at least one other team that gifted him alcohol this season, but can’t remember which team off-hand.

Marlins gave him rum.

7 shutout innings for Skubal on 2 hits,  1 walk and 10 Ks. Looks like he is done for the night at 87 pitches. 

[gehringer_2]

Skubal showing tonight that change of speed can work just as well as pitches with big break. Especially against a bad team. 

[Sports_Freak]

Wait...Oakland is 60 under .500? And they may not get the #1 pick?

They would know.  He had his peak party years with them.

That's good.  A franchise that isn't even trying to win should not get the #1 pick.  

[Tigermojo]

Please don't let us get back to historically bad like Oakland currently is playing. Bad throws, balks, wild pitches, missed catches. No thank you.

[gehringer_2]

Jake takes 3 straight called strikes after 3-0. I like Jake but that's a terrible AB!

[gehringer_2]

Gameday just calls it a change-up but Hanifee setting the ball in his glove with a split/forkball grip.

[lordstanley]

Major league debut for Brenan Hanifee. 3 up, 3 down, 2 strikeouts.

My hope going into the last three series was for the Tigers to be closer.

Win the last Dodger game, sweep Oaklang and finish with a 6 game home stand sweep. Easy-peasy. With 2 starting pitchers...lol

[Sports_Freak]

Hanifee gives up 3 runs in the 9th. He's a bust....thanks Avila. 😅

A good first inning. Second inning, not so much.

[lordstanley]

72-81, still a chance at a .500 season.
