Go tigers !

 

[biggunsbob]

Alonso first pitch hunts a lot. Need to be careful with him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal gets #1000 strikeout on the first at bat.

 

[biggunsbob]

Torres hunts first pitch to the warning track in right field .
McGonigle 5-3
Lee K’s

Easy inning for O’s pitcher.

 

[kalinecountry]

Jake Rogers was Tarik Skubal’s personal catcher. So, his DFA today is pretty telling in regard to the direction the organization has chosen.

 

[biggunsbob]

Great catch by Kevin to end the 3rd.

 

[kalinecountry]

Skubal is the fastest pitcher by IP to reach 1,000 strikeouts in franchise history.
He is the 17th pitcher to reach 1,000 strikeouts with the Tigers.

Torkelson scores. ..2-0 tigers
Torres F-8. Beaz tags to 3rd.
McGonigle. Sac Fly (F-8) rbi 3-0 Tigers .
Back to back great at bats..
Lee K’s

Before game #1 of the series they were interviewing O’s radio guy Ben McDonald and he said the O’s have one of worst defenses in baseball.

 

[gotime909]

Surprised they started skubal. I wont be shocked when he leaves in the 6th with a mystery "tightness"

 

[kalinecountry]

Troy Melton over his last 7 starts: 1.09 ERA / 0.87 WHIP

Tarik Skubal's best 7 game stretch in his career: 1.28 ERA / 0.71 WHIP

 

[biggunsbob]

Man Baez is something. He can look away and look back and find the ball again

 

[biggunsbob]

So. Who do we trade Skubal too..Dodgers or Brewers/other team ?

As much as I want some of the Dodger outfield prospects my thought is if we trade him to the Brewers/other team there is a remote possibility we could resign him in the off season. My fear is the dodgers gets a hold of Skubals agent Boros and the give him the world before the new CBA is signed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer’s single to start the rally in the 3rd was his 500 career hit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Surprised they started skubal. I wont be shocked when he leaves in the 6th with a mystery "tightness"

With this pen 6 innings won’t be enough.

 

[biggunsbob]

I guess we need to thank Comerica parks Very deep center field today.

 

[kalinecountry]

Another McGonigle gem: Kevin McGonigle has 110 hits and 64 walks, the first and only major league rookie to hit both of those marks by the end of July since the rookie of the year award was first handed out in 1947.

 

[biggunsbob]

Vierling pulls or rips a hammy legging out an easy triple the CF miss Played.

 

[biggunsbob]

Back to back errors by Baltimore. 3 so far today.
