Montero was only at 65 pitches. Wtf Is wrong with AJ ?

From 59 and 34 last year, to the Worst team in baseball.

The Tigers have scored first in 35 of 60 games this season (58.3 percent).
They’re 5-13 in one-run games.

Boxscore.

White Sox 2 - Tigers 1: Another early lead withers and dies.
The Tigers got an early run and went back to sleep until the bullpen blew the game.

Tigers swept in Chicago, fail to protect late lead again.
We'd say that one will leave a mark.
But, really, when you've spent an entire month getting beaten up every which way, who will even notice?
Despite excellent pitching from Keider Montero and another early lead, the Tigers were swept out of Chicago with a 2-1 loss to the White Sox on Sunday at Rate Field. The crowd of 28,764 chanted, "Detroit Sucks!" in the late innings, and, well, who can argue that right now?
Detnews

A.J. Hinch decision backfires in Tigers' loss to White Sox for sweep.
At least May is over. The Detroit Tigers finished the month with a 6-22 record, featuring a minus-48 run differential.
It's their worst month since July 2019.
The Tigers lost, 2-1, to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, May 31, in the finale of the three-game series at Rate Field, the final blow in a series sweep.
Everything came crashing down when manager A.J. Hinch pulled right-hander Keider Montero at 65 pitches through six scoreless innings, replacing him with right-handed reliever Drew Anderson.
Freep

Detroit Tigers swept by White Sox to finish worst May in 30 years.

Colt Keith 15/69 .217 6BB ONE RBI since May 1.

McKinstry now 0 for his last 20. He’s gone 57 AB’s without an extra base hit.

Can anyone explain to me why montero’s day is done at 65 pitches and 1 hit?

AJ deserves to be fried for Managerial malpractice. The white Soxs will now start scoring runs.

AJ and Harrls are both clueless.

Harris has some explaining to do. What has happened to the organization in just a year ? Every team blows. From Lakeland to the tigers .

Sorry if someone posted this .
Teams that may be trading for Skubal .

In 2025, the Tigers entered June with the best record in MLB.
In 2026, with a record of 22-38, the Tigers will enter June with the worst record in MLB.

Wait a month to get Kerry back and he gets two at bats and is removed for a guy who’s 2 for his last 29. Keider cruising and he goes to the worst bullpen in baseball after 65 pitches.

The Tigers went 0-12 this weekend with RISP. Not one single hit the entire series.

The Yankees have scored 13 runs this inning Sunday.
The Tigers have scored 10 in their last 45 innings.

Harris and AJ gotta go, thev'e lost the fan base.

The worst thing that ever happened to Scott Harris was the 2024 playoffs. That run — born out of a miracle finish and a Cleveland Guardians collapse of historic proportions — convinced him the offense did not need help. Even after watching a top-five offense crater into a bottom-five offense down the stretch, the offseason response was to keep reinforcing the strength. Pitching depth. A returning Kyle Finnegan. Kenley Jansen, who has since turned into an albatross. A bullpen that now leads the league in blown saves.

When the general manager himself admits in interviews that the offensive collapse keeps him up at night and then does nothing meaningful to address it, that is not a process miss. That is negligence. Harris knew. He said it out loud. And he still built the team as if the back half of last season had not happened.
