Game #117: Los Angeles Angels @ Detroit Tigers, Friday August 8th, 2025 7:10 Pm

He easily could've filled our big holes without giving up our top 5 prospects. You cant assume this team will be in a better position next year or the following few years.

I agree with you. Harris is clueless not to try and help this club in 2025.
He is going to take a lot of heat if they collapse this lead away.

Umps don't like being shown up. Even though he was right, Skubal never should've acted the way he did in the 1st inning. He was definitely squeezed after that.

This Ump was bad all night. I think he has a right to be mad. Not sure how to handle it. Maybe AJ needs to. Skubal wasn’t getting anything close while Hendrick got balls called strikes that were off the plate.

 

[tigermud]

There is nobody on this team getting upset enough to create a spark, not acceptable!

 

[biggunsbob]

Matt V ! Three run Jack ! LF. His 1st of the season.
6-5 Tigers ! 374 feet !

I was going to say let carpenter bat.

Btw the pitch before that HR was called a ball. It was a strike .
This umpire has missed that call all night in the box.

Looking at Gameday, it sure looks like the ratio of bad calls swung our way in the last couple of at bats.

That 2-1 pitch to Matt was a strike.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why is Perez running on 2-2 count with one more Throw over ?
Just stupid.. picked off. Green k’s He Battled.
Perez and Greene see 10-20 pitches . Both just foul home run balls.

 

[tigermud]

Still think it’s crap vest lost the closer spot ffs he was in all star category discussion. Oh well

 

[biggunsbob]

Yikes look out . Just foul. Ball was crushed.
Reviewed and still foul
0-2 count Batter K’s on next pitch.
1-2 count K’s Two outs.
4-3

Tigers win 6-5 !

Why didn’t the Angels manager call for a boundaries review on the long file to write?

Assface.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well, there we go finally

 

[biggunsbob]

Melton gets the win !

 

[tigermud]

Yeah, 9th inning was the only inning the bullpen had been good. Just baffling

Assface.

Siri is an idiot. I said and meant “right,” not “write.”

Did you notice "file", not "fly"?

AJ keeps talking about he wanted to go Melton, Vest Finnegan .(7-8-9)
But it was a short outing from Skubal and Melton was getting outs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey Jones.
It’s Melton’s 2nd win. His first as a reliever.
