According to espn's prediction algo, tigers have a 34% chance of winnng this.

Makes sense tigers are playing the 98 yankees.

Nice defense, assholes

Buncha sloppy asses.

 

[biggunsbob]

Same old Tiger shit.
Bases loaded no outs in the first they only score 1 freaking run.

Skubal same old shit. A few good innings and one inning does him in.

 

[kalinecountry]

Look for the Tigers to push Michael Fulmer in a trade. He's a free agent after this year and Detroit is unlikely to re-sign him.

Fulmer is making app. $5 mill this year and with his outstanding performance, is likely to garner closer to $7- $8 mill/year going forward. He'll want a multi-year contract.

The Tigers have a zillion needs going forward and they won't want to spend that much money on a player who pitches 1 inning 5x/week. They have so many important positional holes to fill.

Matt Manning will start Sunday for Triple-A Toledo, piggybacking with Rony Garcia. He'll likely get another start or two for Mud Hens after All-Star break.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sigh
Freaking Reyes put the damn ball in play.

 

[tomdalton22]

looks like the hit and run were on. Greene ran, Reyes didn't hit. Strike 'em out, throw 'em out.

I don?t trust Avila. I?m sure not many people in Detroit do.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal blows.

 

[biggunsbob]

Can we put Avila on waivers and sign Theo Epstein ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers need base runners.

just watch...the Tigers finally get a good BP and it will turn to shit next year.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer K?s with bases loaded 1 out. Another dismal at bat with runners on base.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ump that was ball 3. Should been 3-0 and now 3-1 not 2-2 . K?s on a 3-2 pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers waste more chances again with bases loaded. Spencer and Baddoo swing at awful pitches to strike out.
AB is just guessing on that last pitch. Just pathetic.

I have zero idea what is going through Spencer?s head at the plate. He lets great pitches go right by.
Then swings at sliders a foot off the plate.

I'm sure a good slider looks like it is going to be a strike until is falls off of a table.

Tigers 1-7 with risp today so far With 3 at bats to go.

 

[kalinecountry]

Giving Tarik Skubal 3 earned runs that inning is a joke.

That 99.8 MPH fastball from Tarik Skubal was easily his hardest pitch ever. He had topped 98 MPH 12 times in his career. So far today he?s done it 4 times.

Tarik Skubal is cooking with gas today. Six swings and misses and his average on his fastball is up.
