Play offs start today. This is a must win game! A step to gaining 1st place in the division.. Lets go Tigers. Put the runs on the board that they have been lately. And start pitching like they can do and have done.

I seem to say this alot but this is one bad lineup. Miggy seems to be playing more..

Days of Roar Tigers Podcast: Why Detroit Tigers' Scott Harris sees progress, plus MLB draft preview and Colt Keith interview. 72 minutes.

It's a packed episode of "Days of Roar." This week, beyond their regular wrap up of the recent week in Detroit Tigers' baseball, the guys have on MLB draft expert Brian Sakowski to talk which potential eligible players we should be keeping our eyes on. Later, Mark and Evan go over an interview with Colt Keith, who has been making impressive moves in minor league ball.

LHP Tarik Skubal will make a rehab appearance for the Mud Hens tonight in Lehigh Valley.
Maybe we'll see him next week in Detroit.

Why is Boyd throwing anything close to a strike to Castro on a 0-2 pitch ?
The staff is just beyond dumb.

Castro does in fact strike out at a whopping 47 to 6 k/bb .rate and Boyd throws that dumb
Pitch on 0-2. Just freaking horrible. Castro can hit fastballs. . Just dumb

Last 4 games and today Miggy has 8 hits. Moving up on the Tigers OPS list.

 

[biggunsbob]

Miggy the rally killer .

Based loaded no outs Miggy swings and bounces into a 543 dp.

So frustrating.

Average team scores 2 runs with bases loaded and no outs

Pathetic

 

[biggunsbob]

Radio broadcast said miggy did not swing at a good pitch.
Idk. Frustrating at bat.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez. ! 2 rbi triple !

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers win 8-4 !

Baez , Spencer, and Matt with great games. 12 hits

 

[biggunsbob]

Great comeback !
