I think the benchmark is, is he young enough to be your son? And I don’t mean technically, like if you were a father at age 11, I mean, you’re comfortably well into adulthood when he’s born. Then, he’ll always be a kid.

Most of the Tigers are young enough to be my GRANDchildren. Maybe not JV but normal players. 😅😅

I think Holton's WHIP must have  just crossed over 1.5. I know Hinch loves him like a son, but he needs not to be pitching for the Tigers.

[IdahoBert]

This Rogers fellow was pitching to Riley Greene like he’s Ted Williams and terrified of him. 

[IdahoBert]

Do something good Mr. Torkelson

[chasfh]

Am I a bad person for being glad that this is a relatively low leverage situation to see Tork come up in?

[Dan Gilmore]

Time for Colt to get some BABIP luck

[Dan Gilmore]

Or not

And i don’t have much more confidence seeing Colt come up lately.

[IdahoBert]

It’s a great idea to bring Perez in a pinch hit for Matty because he gets to play centerfield which is his best position and this is a game where you don’t want things to get out of control!

[IdahoBert]

Bases loaded for Torres…

[gehringer_2]

twelve would be nice.

[Dan Gilmore]

10 is nice too.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Torres squirts one's through the SS's 5-hole, 2 runs score.

[IdahoBert]

10 runs thanks to Torres. One more and this lead will be officially bullpen proof!

[chasfh]

And here we are whinging about our bullpen and our defense. 😄

[chasfh]

Well, Dingler’s gonna get another crack at a triple for sure, and maybe even this inning.

[Sports_Freak]

babip right back at ya, Twinkies.

[chasfh]

I am not used to seeing McGonigle look terrible swinging on strike three, but this is the major leagues, I guess.

[chasfh]

and all of a sudden the radio overlay for the Tigers game just disappeared.

Lead off walk with a 6 run lead? Damn right there's whinging yet  to be done.!

And now the app keeps kicking me back over and over to the Torres at bat when it was 8-4. This si why i keep the satellite as a backup.

[Sports_Freak]

6 run lead and you walk the leadoff hitter. SMH

So you’re saying Finnegan’s 16% walk rate coming into the game is not a mirage?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

ꓘ instead of triple/cycle. oh, well.

and his WHIP was >1.5 before the night started.

Another guy living on borrowed time. Low K kate, terrible walk rate, ERA< 1/2 his FIP. Something gotta give there.
