Game #133: Detroit Tigers @ Athletics, Monday August 25th, 2025, 10:05 Pm

Just pathetic hitting. Keith Had a 3-1 count. Look I know it’s a good count to hit in but why not take a Pitch ?
1. You could get a walk.
2. Pitchers count goes up by 2 .
3. It frees up the runner on 3-2 count if a strike.
4. Sweeney would score on a Double.

Skubal 5 innings 9 k’s 2 hits 0 BB . 61 pitches (45 strikes).

Ginn 5 innings 8k’s 4 hits 1 BB. 75 pitches (47 strikes).

Tigers 6th
Torres Kaboom ! Left center 417 Feet #14 ! 1-0 Tigers.
Carpenter Singles
Greene Singles (wild pitch to 2nd)
Tork popout behind 2nd (1 out )
Perez Doubles (Right center) 2 RBIs (3-0 Tigers ! ) pick me up AB !
McKinstry 6-3
Dingler BB
PH-Ibanez F-9


(Tigers again struggle with that runner at third and 0 or 1 out, and still do not have a hit RISP . (Now 1-10)….Only Perez !!!

I guess Wencell made up for getting picked off third base there.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on guys get him out at second. He was a dead duck if it’s a good throw and cover at second.
First batter ends up on third.
Next batter 5-3
4-3 run scores 3-1 tigers. K’d the pitch before.

NExt batter K’s

Tigers lead 3-1 top 7.

This team is so frustrating offensively to watch sometimes. Should have 5 + runs.. You just cant keep failing with runners on base.

I know you want to let Skubal get out of the Jam but why get Finnegan up then ? Wasn’t that guy hot coming in ?

 

[nydo77]

Wencell's dumb swing last inning comes back to bite us now.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well, that sucks.

 

[biggunsbob]

According to espn box score only 1 of the 6 A’s runs was earned.
Freaking errors .

 

[nydo77]

Too much pressing that inning by McKinstry and Ibanez.

 

[tinselwolverine]

What are you gonna do? Every team is going to lose some games that they probably should’ve won. Every team is gonna win some games they probably shouldn’t have.

Not that the game is over yet, but it’s sure feels over.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey Andy your down 3 runs . You need base runners.

 

[biggunsbob]

What are you gonna do? Every team is going to lose some games that they probably should’ve won. Every team is gonna win some games they probably shouldn’t have.

Not that the game is over yet, but it’s sure feels over.

Skubal has not gotten a win in a while. I know wins aren’t everything but we need to get him winning again.

 

[nydo77]

Lots of talk on the broadcast about the Tiger's excellent defense being an advantage over the A's, then they descended into A's territory that inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal now has given up 15 homers on the season.

Yeah Tiger broadcast yapped all night about it. Like you said.

 

[nydo77]

Well, throwing the towel in on this one. We don't do big rallies in the ninth this season.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well Sommers was one of the better Toledo relievers and he blows.
He can go back down. Cant trust with runners on .

 

[tinselwolverine]

Going into the game tonight, the Tigers had won eight of their last 10.

After that crap period right before and right right after the All-Star break, the Tigers have been playing pretty well.

So they were probably due to boot one.

It’s baseball.
