Game #136: Detroit Tigers @ Kansas City Royals, Friday August 29th, 2025, 8:10 Pm

Well at least carpenter got a hit. 3-2 now.
Not sure what Greene was looking for :/

Looks like Lugo is using his slow stuff.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it Perez. He is throw slow crap. Don't swing at that shit.
Tigers finally get leadoff hitter on and Perez and dingler k.
Every batter seems to start in a 0-2 hole.
McKinstry walked.
Baez fails strands 2.

7 damn lobs in three innings as Baez hacks at the 1st pitch.
Easy F-8 fly out.

LOB champions of the universe!

 

[biggunsbob]

That ball carried to deep cf. half swing by SP.

 

[biggunsbob]

I just want a tiger inning where we bat around. Score. Bunch runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

All these damn 3-0 counts we can’t pay off.
I thought Keith had him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Keith out
Torres singles
Carpenter singles
Double by Greene ! 2 RBIs ! 4-3 tigers ! Greene over 100 rbis
Tork 5-3
Perez F-8

 

[tigermud]

Finally I can come up for air

 

[biggunsbob]

Not sure I agree with this after 6 batters in a row from Paddack :/
I guess we gotta trust AJ. It’s just Holton isnt the same as last year.

Well against the A’s we would come back to tie or take a lead and we couldn’t get a shutdown inning.

 

[nydo77]

I guess AJ was just itching to get Holton in with a few left handed batters in a row.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 5th
Dingler 4-3
McKinstry K’s. (Sigh) bad pitch.
Baez K’s

 

[biggunsbob]

I don’t understand why Baez cant see where the catcher is siting out of the corner of his eyes. .

Elvis Alvarado used to pitch for Detroit Tigers. Now he's 'some kind of nasty' with A's.

Colt Keith is breaking out in his sophomore season

It’s summer and the 2nd year infielder is better than ever while handling several new roles

Seriously something need to change with this Baez and never ending hacks at slurs and sliders 1000 ft off the plate, can someone just throw him 1000 of those on an off day until he learns to pick up that spin. It’s utterly fking ridiculous

 

[biggunsbob]

Holton 4 pitch walk to Witt jr. (1 was a strike missed)
Damn it Holton just blows.. pays way to much attention to Witt jr.
Walks a damn lefty who hits only .208 verses lefty’s.
Just ridiculous walks by Holton.
Melton gets ahead of Garcia 0-2 and 1-2. Fly out Left.,

 

[nydo77]

Strikes needed

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 6th
PH-Jones K’s (pitch was a ball)
Torres 4-3
Carpenter 4-3


(It’s crazy how we score early then go into hibernation mode at the plate)

 

[biggunsbob]

Mariners had a 4-0 lead on Cleveland in the 6th ended up losing 5-4 in the 9th

 

[biggunsbob]

Why is Melton getting squeezed by this ump ? Not getting same strikes as KC relief pitchers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Melton out of the inning !
Nice catch by carpenter! At the wall.
1st and 3rd two outs .
