Kevin McGonigle's season: 74 G 15 HR 60 R 68 RBI 15.3% BB% 10.8% K%
.281 ISO .324/.428/.604 .465 wOBA 193 wRC+ This isn't only the best pure hitter in the minors right now, but this is one of the best pure hitters we have seen in recent memory—the total package.

The West Michigan WhiteCaps are 50 GAMES over .500 (85-35) after their win last night in Midland.

A J Hinch confirmed that Parker Meadows will start a rehab assignment at Toledo.

Colt Keith’s wRC+ by month:
Mar/Apr: 75
May: 128
Jun: 113
Jul: 117
Aug: 158

ZMac shouldn’t play on the road at all. Zack McKinstry at
Home: 61 games, .328/.406/.600 1.006 OPS 9 Homers, 31 RBI.
Road: 58 games, .196/.267/.291 .558 OPS 2 Homers, 11 RBI.

With the news that Detroit Tiger Alex Cobb has once again had a setback and is now highly unlikely to wear the Olde English D this year, the Tigers' playoff odds haven't changed. Let's remember the team has performed exceptionally all year without him throwing a single pitch.

Quick bullpen bullets: Jays have 5 blown saves in August. That's high but, for example, Yankees have 6, Brewers have 6, Dodgers have 5, Tigers have 4, Cubs have 4,
good teams get leads and sometimes they give them up. It sucks, but not the end of world.

Injury to Tigers' pitcher at Triple-A feels like it could have serious implications

Brant Hurter has yet to pitch in a game since the Tigers optioned him to Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 17 due to lower back soreness.

Does Keith always 3 pitch K in his first at bat whenever he’s at the lead off spot? Sure seems like he does.

Seems like it.

Control issues up front

 

[tigermud]

Welp I’ve already seen enough to know this one is a lost cause. 8.5 lead off to KC need to get the hell out of this minor league park. These damn A’s hitters are too damn hot, catching this team at a bad time.

 

[biggunsbob]

I see tiger hitters mowed down in the first.

KC crushed the white Sox tonight .

Ump misses a strikeout and Casey loses the at bat after
That and we trail to the A’s again 1-0.

Inning should be over at 0-0

 

[biggunsbob]

A’s are 28-37 at home. It’s ridiculous we lose season series just about every year to the A’s. Tigers are 12-38 against the A’s last 50 games.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize had a long inning Greene only sees 2 pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

That ball was gone. Come on ump check that.
Maybe not.

 

[biggunsbob]

Oh look Perez fails with a runner on third and 1 out.

Just a terrible approach with 2 strikes.

 

[nydo77]

Two lineouts straight at an infielder

But Perez had an awful at bat .

 

[nydo77]

Mize is missing all his spots; it’s going to be a rough night.

 

[biggunsbob]

90 mph BP fastball from Casey right down the middle.
Trial 3-0

 

[nydo77]

But Perez had an awful at bat .

You already said that.

 

[biggunsbob]

Casey gets ahead 1-2 yet again and loses the at bat.
Wish we had hitters who hit the other way.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize gets ahead of Rooker 0-2.
Now it’s 3-2 .
Wish we could get sac flys . Trail 4-0

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney K’s on 3 pitches….

AJ send him down please.
