04/23/2026 1:10p EDT Milwaukee Brewers at Detroit Tigers

[IdahoBert]

Gameday just told me that Torre‘s bat speed is down 3.0 mph compared to last year and his bat speed was already below the major league average of 71.2 mph back then.

Riley with a hit off a LHP...like it. 

[romad1]

Well, a fielder's choice RBI is a way to score that run.   3-1

[lordstanley]

Dingler doesn’t dilly dally. Beats out the throw from 2nd so no double play. 3-1 Tigers bottom of the 6th. 

[IdahoBert]

The speedy Dingler beats out a throw to 1st allowing Keith to score. 3-1 Tigs. 

[IdahoBert]

Matty walks and Tork up. A 2-out Tork bomb would achieve the magic number.

It looks like a reasonably well attended afternoon game for April in Detroit. 

[IdahoBert]

Nope. 

[UCFKNIGHT]

Should we question Skubal's off-season conditioning? That guy wants $450 million and can't go more than six innings. The Brewers also use bunt plays to perfection. I wish AJ Hinch would work on fundamentals with this Tigers club.

[Tigermojo]

Very annoying. 

[IdahoBert]

The best laid plans of mice and men…

[Sports_Freak]

Unexpected and unfortunate. I can't wait to see Tampa.....

[gehringer_2]

This team has no hope if it can't win Skubal starts. 

Hinch in the classic dilemma of a manager with a bullpen he doesn't trust. Left his starter in longer than the might have and then had the BP fail to perform when he did bring it in.

Well, the BP was pretty heavily used last night. Its not like Hinch had fresh arms to work with. He's saving Finnegan for the save opportunity, probably.

As for Skubal starts, the guy will lose some games this season. He's human...and won't be perfect. And Milwaukss is a pain in the asterisk.

Skubal's average start ends somewhere in the 6th - past that with Tarik is bonus - he's a guy with 1 CG in 139 career starts. The difference is the BP isn't shutting anything down.

You won't win anything in today's game without the BP depth to deal with that.

The Tigers are just not a good ball club. They need hitters to replace Verling and Torkelson. I know replacing Verling and Torkelson is easier said than done.

[IdahoBert]

Jones homers. Yes!

[NorthWoods]

That's what they pay him to do.

[IdahoBert]

We need Dingler to do a Dingler like thing right now. 

[Sports_Freak]

Hinch pushing the right buttons;

Torkelson's got to be better, the BP needs to be better, Flaherty needs to be better. 2 out of 3 might be enough.

[Sports_Freak]

Use Finnegan in the 9th?

The bullpen. After the top 3, Vest, Finnegan and Jansen are what they are. The rest need to be much better.
