The Detroit Tigers have scored 5 runs in their last 33 innings.

Jim Leyland used to talk about “good tonic”.
Worst part about this team is that they’re “good tonic” for bad teams.
Tigers just went 2-10 against the Red Sox, Mets, Royals (all last place) and Jays.(bad)
Have lost 4 straight series. 20-27.
Maybe the Tigers are just bad too?

Tigers eager to flip script before Guardians hit town.

Don't count on it.

Reverse Scouting Kevin McGonigle.
Pitchers are exploiting McGonigle’s ‘lift and pull’ approach with fastballs up. Can he counterpunch? May has been a tough month for McBarrel.

Tigers’ top prospect is off to incredible professional start after 10 K performance.
He's a guy to watch for sure. Malachi Witherspoon.

Tigers Injury Updates: Ty Madden hits IL, good Kerry Carpenter & Gleyber Torres news.
Well... at least there's a little good news.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle learning on fly how to cope with big-league grind.
Kevin McGonigle had never before in his young professional career gone deep into the hole at shortstop and made a Derek Jeter-type backhand play complete with a jump throw to first. He’s made two of them this season.
He’d never before picked a ball behind the bag at third, ala Brooks Robinson, and threw a dart all the way across the diamond to nab a runner. He’s done that already, too.

Detroit Tigers honor 7-year-old Cailen Vela pregame.
The Detroit Tigers honored 7-year-old Cailen Vela, a Fruitport resident who died from cancer, pregame on Sunday, May 17 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Freep

Tigers pay tribute to special child in a wonderful, heart-melting way.
On the day after Cailen Vela’s memorial service, his family stood on the field in Comerica Park, watching a video tribute for him on the giant scoreboard.
“It was very special, very emotional, and it meant everything,” his mother, Aly Vela, said on Sunday, May 17. “We knew we needed to be here and be with the Tigers and in this environment. Even just stepping onto the field today was instant tears. This is where Cailen would want to be.” 😢

Oh good Zach short gets another start today to supply an auto out at the #9 spot

Hard pass again. Would rather roll around in yard droppings then watch or listen to this sorry excuse for a team.

Have all the confidence in the world we’ll drop at least 3 of 4 if not all four. The Tigers simply have no offense 5-9 are largely auto outs nearly every game regardless of which deck shuttle they toss out there for any given game. Yeah yeah injuries blah blah, but wait. Not like they were lightning it up even before now were they? Nope they were not.

Harris = fail
AJ = overrated


I’ve nothing left that hurts
I’ve nothing left to talk about

Skubal encouraged by symptom-free bullpen session at Comerica.

Insane Tarik Skubal injury update has Tigers fans in disbelief.
Seriously... how?

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal throws long toss as he works way back from elbow surgery.
Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was at Comerica Park on Monday, and threw long toss as he works his way back from arthroscopic left elbow surgery on May 6.
It starts a five-day routine as his rehab moves back to Detroit.
Skubal has surgery to remove one loose body from his left elbow.
Detnews

Tarik Skubal reports to Comerica Park, but not to start for Tigers.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal has reported to Comerica Park. But he isn't ready to start just yet.

The Tigers transferred Skubal's rehabilitation Monday, May 18, to Comerica Park, allowing him to work closely with pitching coach Chris Fetter in his return from surgery to remove a bone chip from his left elbow. He completed a bullpen session before Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.
Skubal previously had been rehabbing at the spring training complex in Lakeland, Fla. He threw a "touch-and-feel" bullpen session in Tigertown, manager A.J. Hinch said.
The Tigers haven't shared a timeline for his return.

Harris is just clueless.. So glad we get to see more of Perez and Short at bats.... this lineup is so bad.

I am just about ready to start to root for losses. Trade any "assets" they might have and try to get some young pitchers. Lord knows we don't need any more middle infielders!
 
Im so glad we still get to see .167 W. Perez bat. Why won’t Harris try anybody else from the minors ? He cannot hit mlb pitching anymore..I do not understand.
 
I hate this club .

Greene singles
Tork K’s now batting .194
McKinstry flys out to deep RF now batting .177

Greene picked off first lol.
 
I commend any of you that are watching this game. Between the Tigers and pistons, im zapped. I just cant watch any more.

Sadly the baseball team is a train wreck and I can’t look away.
Harris should be fired if this team finishes in any other place but
1st.
 
This team is so bad.


Colt Keith >>>>> Warning track power. . Glad our dipshit GM gave this
6 rbi kid 28 million dollars.

So Perez has only 1 option left. But other kids have many options left.
Why bring back Short at all ?
Try Anderson try anyone else in the minors.
The tigers brought back older minor leaguers in Toledo.
Julks and gentry . They Cant be any worse than Perez.


Btw all three of our hitting instructors should be fired..
