Win the series!

[theroundsquare]

home finale of 2022

[romad1]

What the hell is up with the political Car Shield commercial?  Thomas Paine?   Might bear some research.

8 mile run followed by sitting in the sunshine.  Can’t beat it.  Beautiful day to close out another season of games.  

[romad1]

Nothing but rain here in Nova.  So, this is a nice change.

[CaliforniaDreaming]

How about that...Cabrerra 1st to 3rd on a WP.  It's like he's 29 instead of 39.  (Although it took too much out of him so he couldn't score on the fly ball.)

[mtutiger]

Joey Wentz keeps impressing... are we underselling his potential?

[gehringer_2]

Baddoo calls off Greene only to have the ball hit his glove right in the palm and bounce out for a double. 🤬

[gehringer_2]

Wentz aiming the ball and missing. Walks Correa for a run.

It so seldom does any good to try to squeeze more out of a pitcher who has lost it that the insistence of managers to keep trying to is hard to understand.

Jinxed Wentz unfortunately... umpire has really jammed him a lot this inning 

[gehringer_2]

Wentz gave up two runs and in the end only saved the BP having to get one out - how is that a good trade?

[SoCalTiger]

Badoo channeling Christian Stewart with that throw home on the sac fly to medium left field. Made it all the way to third base . Can you even play an outfielder that can not throw ?

LOL - overcompensation for air-mailing it way past the cut-off man yesterday. Baddoo's arm is a completely randomized variable. I assume he must work on it but it hasn't done any good so far.

[gehringer_2]

BaBIP gods pissing all over the Tigers today.

[mtutiger]

Say what you want about the Tigers and their struggles, but they are apparently a better product than the football team today

Victor! I'm only listening, but it sounded like he really mashed it.

no way Victor Reyes should have only 2 HR in 300 AB.

Dude is 6’5” and 215

[mtutiger]

Eric Haase being their best performing regular in 2022 will never be more surprising to me...

I wanted to fire him out of a cannon after that play in Minnesota early in the year, but credit where it is due. He has picked it up

he has plenty of power, but 99% of the time his lower half is so far in front of his swing that by the time the ball gets there he is all upper body. The HR today he kept his lower half back and was in full rotation as he hit the ball. He could be a good hitter if he did that all the time. And if pigs had wings.....

Coolbaugh can fix that <ducks>

I'm enjoying the hell out of this last two weeks of Tigers Baseball.  Lets hire wiz kid GMs that put the fear of God into the players and coaches all the time.
