Game #101: Detroit Tigers @ Pittsburgh Pirates, Monday July 21st, 2025, 6:40 Pm

[biggunsbob]

Team has been just barely .playing 500 ball I think since Meadows and Vierling came back. Not much help.

 

[biggunsbob]

Need a grand slam from someone.

 

[biggunsbob]

The team just cant even get lucky. LF makes a great play on McKinstry ball.

 

[biggunsbob]

****ing Embarrassing. Dont care who was pitching for Pittsburgh.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just lost to a team that was 1-11 over last 12 games.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Vierling stares at strike 3. At least he is getting better swings in.

 

[biggunsbob]

Thank God they built an 11 game lead to work through this.

It may not be enough. Cleveland wins again lead at 10.

 

[biggunsbob]

Not sure why they are Keeping Sweeney on the club.

 

[biggunsbob]

Homers have dried up for the offense.

 

[biggunsbob]

Kansas City just took a big lead at cubs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pittsburgh are now 10-11 when Skene’s starts.
Tigers are now 6-14 when Flaherty’s starts.

20205

————-W-L—GB
Tigers……60-41……….(Lost 1 in a row) [Lost at Crappy Pittsburgh 3-0] *
Cleve…….49- 50(-10) (Won 2 in a row)[O’s Blasted at Cleveland 10-5] **
Twins….…48-51(-11)….(Won 1 in a row)[Trail at Dodgers 3-1 early]

W.Sox…….36-65(-24)(Won 3 in a row)[Blasted Rays 8-3 in Tampa]


* Do not care that Skene’s Pitched.
This was just another pathetic approach by tiger hitters.
Tigers are also 3-7 last 10)
** Cleveland is 8-2 last 10. That is from 15 back to 10 back in 10 games.
With 60ish games left. I am starting to worry. Sunday July 6th Cleveland was -15.5 games back. That was 11 games ago.,
We really need some wins.

AFFIRMATION

by Holly Horning Two things happened recently that involve Detroit Tiger Manager A. J. Hinch. The first, ironically, had nothing to do with him. It has become quite the discussion…

AFFIRMATION.
Totally Tigers

 

[tigermud]

Hate to say it but I think the recent unexpected losing started right about the same time of year the unexpected winning started last year.

Offense has gone missing.

 

[Oldenslow]

Tigers are snake bit. Even though there has been a lot of bloop singles and bleeders for hits, the pitchers are giving up way too many hits and runs. They say they aren't giving up, but watch Tork just hand a run to the Pirates by being careless. There needs to shake these players up and get them back to the way they were playing in the first half of the season. I also do not care about ANY mastery guests. I so not want to see Dirks and Benneti in there pink shirts and college boy blah blah blah. Terrible bad karma announcers.
Really getting disgusted and I know I am not alone.

 

[Oldenslow]

OMG - Pitching, Hitting, Defense ALL CRAP. The white sox swept this team. What does that say about the current state of the Tiger's team. Garbage. If I want to be this disgusted and this angry and upset I might as well turn the channel and watch CNN.
