GAME 52 - Detroit Tigers @ Baltimore Orioles, Friday, May 22, 2026, 7:05 PM

Harris looks like a kid, I don't think the others around the league he has to make deals with take him seriously. The roster simply isn't good because Harris has no bono-fides to bargain with. Reminds me of the guy in Trading Places trying to sell in the trading pit when the plan goes south. He's simply ignored.
 
This roster is embarrassing. They haven't been good for over 100 games now. Harris keeps thinking these clowns will break out of it when they won't.

Hell Vierling has not been good since 2024.

Perez has been bad and he is a poor outfield. Short, and Jones will clear waviers. Please dump them Harris ..
try freaking something!!!!


Lee k's ..
Kevin grounds out
Dingler K's badly
 
So 2025 tigers had division till they collapsed. Made wildcard almost made it to ALCS


So in 2025 the Tigers started off hot . Just like they finished in 2024.



2025
Tigers (87-75) wildcard
(75-53) Lakeland won a title
(84-54) Erie was runners up
(92-39)West michigan won a title
(84-66)Toledo 2nd place
===============÷÷÷
2026
Tigers 20-31
Toledo (24-25)
Erie (21-21)
West michigan (14-29)
Lakeland (24-19)
==================

Harris has some explaining to do.
 
One of kitten low light could they only gave up 4 earn runs! Posted at the 7th inning!
Wait a min. might want to update as white flag is in.
 
Jack had 7 k’s in 3.1 innings with no walks but 6 runs.
3 earned. I saw the balk not sure what error scored the other runs.

Maybe make Jack a 1 inning pitcher ?
Idk he can’t be a damn starter anymore.

Jack is just not a good starter.
Sometimes I feel we are tipping pitches ?
Idk .Especially Jack. He can’t get out of his own way.
Give him a lead. He can’t hold it .

Make him a 1 inning relief pitcher when other starters come back.
Our pen cant miss bats. Maybe Jack could for an inning ot two ?

Detroit Tigers are now 20-32 .

7 losses in a row and. 15 losses in last 17 games.

Tigers are now 10.5 out of first.

Baltimore gets healthy on Detroit pitching.
 
Until they get eliminated from contention I will not give it but it is really sad just like other GM’s in this town Scott Harris seems incapable of fixing this. He won’t do anything.
Or at least try something different.

And waiting for Skubal, Torres , Baez, and carpenter is not an excuse i want to hear from him.


I’d make wholesale changes and call every team that we are open for trade business on Skubal.

Rogers Dfa ============Call up Valencia
Jones Dfa==============call up a outfielder (Malgeri
Short Dfa==============call up Anderson
Perez send to Toledo ====call up Clark
Workman send to Toledo ===== not sure
Lee (not sure)

And when some of these guys fail it will be time for guys to come off
the dl maybe.

Tigers' slide continues as Hurter exits with back injury, Flaherty struggles again.
Tigers official site

Boxscore. RISP 2 for 11 and zero walks for Tigers batters.

Orioles 7 - Tigers 4: The bats warmed up, but Jack Flaherty faltered.
Can we start worrying yet?

Lefty Brant Hurter leaves Tigers' game with apparent leg injury.

Brant Hurter exits Tigers game with back injury after pitching in rain.
Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Brant Hurter has suffered a lower back injury.
The 27-year-old exited with two outs in the fifth inning Friday, May 22, alongside assistant athletic trainer Chris McDonald after a changeup to Baltimore Orioles pinch-hitter Tyler O'Neill resulted in a flyout. He landed awkwardly at the end of his delivery on the pitch. Hurter will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury.

Detroit Tigers lose 7th straight on bizarre home run from Orioles.
Need a snapshot of the Detroit Tigers' 2026 season?
Watch the fourth inning on Friday, May 22.
That's when Jackson Holliday lofted a two-run home run off right-hander Jack Flaherty that barely snuck underneath the left-field foul pole at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The ball traveled just 337 feet with a modest 93.5 mph exit velocity, but it still counted for two runs.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The month of May has been a particularly bad one for the Detroit Tigers. They have gone 4-15 (through Thursday’s games) with multiple losing streaks and were just swept in 4 games to the Cleveland Guardians. There was only 1 period this month in which they won 2 in a row.
Many of the games have been soul-crushing with 7 games lost just by 1 run and 3 games lost in the 9th by walk-offs.
Granted, the Tigers are dealing with a lot of injuries however there are real concerns about their rotation, relief pitching, offense and esp. defense.
Has this extended slump changed your viewing habits? Are you still watching them as much as you have in the past or have you decided to spend time in another way?

Have your viewing habits changed this year due to the Tigers' struggles?

1. No, I'm watching them the same amount.

2. Yes, not watching them as much.

3. Yes, I've stopped watching them.

5-11 in one runs game that has to change, 0-4 in extra innings what can be said. BTW that on the dumb pen! and aj.
