So why isn't Carp in lineup today. We just had a day off.

 

[Mitchrapp]

And that lineup is weird, Greene 5th Rodgers clean-up, and Ibanez 2 spot?

 

[coulomb]

So why isn't Carp in lineup today. We just had a day off.

You need a decoder ring to figure out aj's logic sometimes.. this is one of those times.

:shrug:

 

[coulomb]

OH boy, Javy 'I dont see the ball, I just guess' Baez is back in the lineup.. woohoo!

 

[coulomb]

Valdez has 84 pitches through 5 innings, and the tigers do not have a hit.

Yet another wtf moment in the 2023 detroit tigers season.

 

[gotime909]

Wierd that AJ shuffled the lineup this much when it's actually been decent lately. The guy has some matt Patricia in him where he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room

 

[biggunsbob]

Boom at the football game! Meadows !

 

[coulomb]

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!

 

[gotime909]

Team went off after AJ was ejected! Parker with the walk off homer!!!!

 

[coulomb]

Wow, this game sucked until 5 minutes ago, but the ending was incredible.

 

[biggunsbob]

Byron Center is crushing battle creek central. Werid the teams play a 34-27 ot bc win last year.

I just put tigers espn game thread on when beaz singled and Meadows homered.

 

[coulomb]

Good thing the tigers dont play in a dome, that ball would have it the ceiling. Mammoth towering shot..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Big two out hit by Miggy. Saved the game.

 

[coulomb]

& Aj was right, pitcher hadnt started his windup until pitch clock was on 0.

That should be reviewable.. shitty game changing call.

 

[tomdalton22]

Big two out hit by Miggy. Saved the game.

Cabrera helped extend the game, he didn't save it.

 

[tomdalton22]

Parker has one more HR for the Tigers than his brother

 

[Mitchrapp]

Cabrera helped extend the game, he didn't save it.

Same thing. Without him getting on base game is over. It's okay to stop the Miggy hate. 5 weeks left and you get your wish.

 

[kalinecountry]

What an incredible ending!!!!

Parker Meadows is a big dude. It looks like several Tigers who are producing are swinging with the upper cut and launch angle.
