A hit!

Gotta think Bochy is glad for that hit. Rocker is on pitch 85 in the 6th.

Tigers no hits through 5. Rocker looking like an ace

Yes they are. They are back to old ways of making  bad pitches look great. I know that sometimes pitchers having a bad year turn in a good performance, but you can’t be “tipping your cap” every fricken game. This is definitely an “us” problem. You could see it coming at the start of this swoon (skid?).

Best team in baseball and teams are going to target you and try to find any weakness or edge they can. Now Tigers have to make the adjustments.

Where’s the part when we start to panic about a six game losing streak? I want to do it the right way.

Riley late 2025 turning into Tork early 2024, in the sense of a  hitter persuaded he is right when he's not.

He needs to be disabused of that notion. Perhaps he thinks HRs will get him paid, and he may be right, but it diminishes his reliability.

I just spent time watching two episodes of season eight of Rick and Morty and it was definitely better than this game although it was hard to follow. This game is sadly predictable.

Not best team in baseball, just a team that is getting better year over year. We don’t need to overreact to this losing streak, but we probably shouldn’t have overreacted to the good first half.  They are not that team - yet.

[papalawrence]

Here they go......time to break out of the slump! Crooked number!

[IdahoBert]

Voting is open for the player of the game. I can’t imagine choosing a Tiger though. 

[IdahoBert]

The Tigers are getting boring. Maybe I should get into something more exciting like Crosstitch or beanie babies.

[1776]

I’m more than ready to see the challenge introduced next year. 

[ICroupier]

This team is a mess, top to bottom.

[Tigermojo]

Procure points gentlemen!

[chasfh]

Oh my god, what just happened? What’s that pentagonal thing Riley just walked on?

[Tigermojo]

Riley Greene you are a gentleman and a scholar sir!

[RatkoVarda]

what is that thing called when your guy reaches home plate? i think it is called a run? it's been a while

[Archie]

Last year they took off when Carpenter came back from an IL stint. Hopefully it will happen again when Carpenter gets back. It won't be soon enough because this team looks terrible right now. 

[papalawrence]

Cubs up 6-0 in the 9th, about to take over best record in mlb

[chasfh]

I wouldn’t call what is happening a collapse just yet, but this is how collapses typically start.

[lordstanley]

Did Dylan Larkin and other Red Wings players start hanging around the Tigers’ clubhouse a couple of weeks ago and rubbed off on them?

unfortunately, solo home runs in the 9th when you are down four and being shutout do not a winning ballclub make.

But you know the darkest hour
Is always, always just before the dawn
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn…

[GalagaGuy]

Skenes might throw a perfect game against us next week.

Eovaldi scratched tomorrow night due to back stiffness.
