DET began the month of June 0-9,
they have gone 9-8 since.

TEX was 24-13 at home prior to this series vs Tigers got a split..not many had that happening.

Good news:
Torkelson in June
7 HR
15 RBI
11 BB
11 XBH
Bad news
194/275/499
32 SO

Bill James says that the talent produced by the Tigers farm system in the late 1970s was probably the greatest ever.

Tyler Alexander in June
8 G | 18.2 IP | 0.96 ERA | 0.75 WHIP | 18 SO
Lights Out for a team that has been relying heavily on Bullpen days this month. Possibly made himself a trade candidate at the deadline?

After going 0-5 Thursday Jonathan Schoop is now hitting .192 with a .501 OPS

Top of the first.

Guess who failed with runners on first and third and 1 out Baez ! Whiffs again with another poor at bat.
This clown has no clue how to make adjustments at the plate.

Rogers swings at ball four and then K?s looking on the next pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers making crappy pitcher look great heading to bottom of The second.
Seems like they never score runs for ML.

0-2 single. (Terrible pitch). Right over the plate stupid. Just a jackass pitch.
Single. Trail 2-0. ML is not sharpe at all. 0-2 pitch was terrible!
FC . Stupid third baseman (Ibanez) didn?t realize he had the Force and he is safe. I think that is what happened I have sound muted.
Single 4-0. Just throw it down the middle dumb ass.

Inanez. 2 run homer . Tigers trail 8-5
Baez 0-1, 0-2, foul. Asshole K?s on a waste pitch so freaking high at his head. Hey jackass swing at the pitch before and you would have
