Fire Hinch. What a horrible job of managing a bullpen. Just horrid.

There was no excuse not to catch that ball.  None.

[Tenacious D]

Can’t even blame Vest for that

[NorthWoods]

And Vest beyond pitching sabotaged himself by touching that ground out.

Sinker sitting at 95. He doesn't get S&M without 97-98

[RedRamage]

Well, there's the 2026 Tigers we know and love.

[theroundsquare]

i wonder what the clubhouse is like.  this is to the point where i could appreciate that some finger pointing may be at least starting

I’d say take Vest out, but I don’t want Finnegan or Jansen in

Neither did our manager. Sitting on his hands while his bullpen is fresh and rested. Is he TRYING to tank? I cant explain his inactivity. Lazy? Or just stupid?

[JackMorrisStache]

At least we are losing to one of the best teams in baseball. Oh, wait.

He was waiting for the match-up he'd been anticipating for 3 innings ahead.

My son is sitting in RF, he couldn't believe Weceel botched that.   

 

I had to break the news to him.  

 

When Riley Greene is your best defensive OF you're in trouble

It does seem odd... I mean, he's swapping in Pitch Hitters like crazy... taking out a .289 hitter to put in a .175 hitter for the matchup (which, to his credit, worked, kinda)... why isn't he doing the same with the bullpen?

[GalagaGuy]

Monday morning quarterbacking is the most moronic thing.....lol!

[kdog]

Their roster has been ravaged by injuries and underperformance that they can't punish abhorrent defensive effort and lack of hitting execution. This team is DOA for the season. The injuries started the downturn but there is something rotten with the core of the team that needs to be looked at. 

They counted on linear development from certain guys that never came. Their judgement in pro scouting has ben pretty poor also. Time to look to the next era.

[IdahoBert]

[theroundsquare]

somehow it doesn't feel the same

[monkeytargets39]

Strike three right down the middle with no swing.

 

Tork can get lost.  Zero IQ hitter

[chasfh]

This is worse than 2019 because this was not supposed to happen.
