Tigers lead. Skenes is Dunne. Out at home. 3-1.

McGonigle is him.

Hao Yu Lee grows on me.  

I like him best at 2nd base. McGonigle at 3rd base and our prospect as our future SS. The Tigers have a solid future positional team. But the pitching...

Math? Uhhh..

But can you imagine the pitcher who gave up his only hit? Shame, shame, shame.  😄

Skubal

[monkeytargets39]

Little bit bumpy but overall a solid job from Jobe.  Good bounce back from his last start

[monkeytargets39]

I refuse to believe that Verlander is actually hurt at this point and he’s just collecting a check until he can come back for a curtain call once we clinch or are eliminated

The pitching is actually looking pretty strong too, just farther away.  Sears could help potentially as early as this year if needed, and there are a number of strong prospects in High A especially, as well as double A.  Don't forget about Ryan who is expected back in September.

I feel like Jake Miller could evolve into a leverage reliever for us

[monkeytargets39]

What is it about teams crappy backup catchers and hitting homeruns off us?

which makes it another accursed one run game.

Finnegan huh?

[Tigermojo]

Malgeri to the rescue.

[Dan Gilmore]

Whew!

[NorthWoods]

Never a doubt.

[chasfh]

Finnegan gets out of his own jam!

Is he a good leverage reliever again or was he just lucky? 

[Dan Gilmore]

Suck the third baseman in with a bunt attempt and then slap it by him for a knock.

[lordstanley]

Jansen will be lights out today. Game will be over by 3:25. 

[monkeytargets39]

God I hate this bullpen

[Dan Gilmore]

Well that post didn’t age well.

Edit. 

[gehringer_2]

tell me again how Jansen's overall numbers say he's been good.

I don't get why the call Kenley's pitches cutters. The Slo-mo shows clearly that they have perfectly aligned backspin. No off axis rotation, no cross spin.. That's just a fast ball at 94-95.
