Tork: "I took that a little personal"

coulomb said:

Doubtful, he was holding his arm and didnt even attempt a pitch when he was removed.

Then they showed the AJ interview from the previous 1/2 inning saying that Madden was going to be the bulk inning guy for this game.

Somewhere, some baseball god is laughing.

Somewhere, some baseball god had pity on the Tigers, and threw them a bone. 8 shutout relief innings, and a clutch hit; who woulda thunk it?

Tork’s 2nd walk-off this year !

Tigers 3 - Blue Jays 2: Tork walks it off
The Tigers got back into the win column with a tight victory on Friday night.
BYBTB

Tigers' Torkelson gets 'job done' with walk-off double against Blue Jays.
Spencer Torkelson really was not trying to do too much at the plate, sitting on two strikes and facing Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth inning
"Against him, you can't really kind of — can't really manipulate the barrel too much when the guy's throwing 98," Torkelson said. "With a really good slider, as well. So, it was just shorten up and just try to get the job done."
Detnews

Spencer Torkelson walks off Blue Jays for Tigers win.
It was always going to be a bullpen game, but Friday’s Detroit Tigers game featured a lot more of the bullpen than many expected.
And after the bullpen did its job, Spencer Torkelson walked it off with an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Tigers a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays at Comerica Park in Detroit on Friday, May 15.
Freep

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson homered in five consecutive games from April 22–26. Then … crickets.
He entered his final at-bat Friday night mired in a 7-for-55 (.127) skid, striking out nearly 40 percent of the time during that stretch.
“This has not been an easy few weeks for him,” said Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, who dropped the slugger to No. 8 in the lineup. “But he continues to post and continues to put in the work.”

Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers have been picking up speed in losing games. They are now sitting in the cellar of the AL Central and have lost 7 out of their last 10 games. They’ve just been swept by the NY Mets, one of the worst teams in MLB.
Certainly a significant number of injuries has been a factor. But there are others at play – rotation, bullpen and defense.
How should the Tigers respond to this?
Should they stay calm and guide their players through these difficult times and wait for players to come off the IL? Should they risk falling even further in the standings?
Or should they start making some roster changes before things nosedive further?
If so, consider what moves would be available to them.

How should the Tigers address their prolonged losing skid?

1. Wait for players to come off the IL.

2. Shake up the roster and bring up some prospects.

I voted shake it up. There are at least 3 players on this roster that should be outright released, starting with Zach Short.

Who is doing game thread today? I need to run errands starting around noonish ? I have it loaded and ready to go but no lineups yet.
I will check after walking the dog.
