Inexcusable to not get a leadoff triple in.  Perez blows our challenge on an obvious strike too.

[RedRamage]

Can we go back to playing the Rays please?

Keider is giving up loud contact.

You called it. Baseball....

[Tigermojo]

Well deserved. 

[monkeytargets39]

Could’ve challenged that if you didn’t waste a challenge earlier

[monkeytargets39]

This ump sucks

[IdahoBert]

I went out to run errands and came back and heck I didn’t realize we’d only managed one hit.

You may have been too optimistic. 6 more outs to get that 2nd hit.

So mean.  Fair, but mean.

I'm not sure who this home plate umpire is but he makes an excellent case for robot umpires. He's called at least 8 outside pitches, strikes. Just horrible.

2 hits achieved.  I won't post the Matt Smith meme.

God damn it, this post was supposed to jinx the idea, not prophesy it!

I like it more when you stick to analytics and don’t become like Crisswell predicts.

At first I read that wrong

While only 61 plate appearances, Kreidler is showing some loud contact this year. .800+ ops and 122 ops+

Coincidence or did Chas know something?  Were any unusually large bets placed before this game?

[romad1]

This Naylor thing is all over the socials.  He needs to be our Claude Lemeux?

[NorthWoods]

Keith had it exactly right.   You love him on your team and hate him on the opposition.

The Tigers and the Red Wings need a few such players.  It takes more than nice guys to win.

He’s so red on run value while being so gray-to-blue on process, which itself seems to indicate he’s getting lucky. The .227 BABIP and 7.6% HR/FB rate confirm.

Also - as stands out on the lower chart, he doesn't walks guys, which gives him a little more slack everywhere else.

The inability to get hits or score any runs had more to do with Seattle's pitching than it did with the Tigers lineup.

[chasfh]

Well, that was surprising.

You could argue that Montero firing the ball close to his head was more egregious than anythng Naylor did.  I liked Naylor's reaction.  I don't know if it would help the Tigers win more, but I would like to see a few Tigers with some personality.

You certainly could make the argument though I think the counter would be that he hit him right where he wanted to.   Adding up the play at 1st endangering our great rookie McGonigle, the unexpected slide at 2nd base and Torres and the sliding glove throw at Dingler I think the Tigers had simply had enough of his antics.

Let's see - McGonigle, Torres, Dingler.....the source of the Tigers offense all mysteriously targeted by Naylor.

did they call him out for tossing the running glove? Seems like that should be a rule just like throwing a fielding glove at a player or ball is an out.
