Riley Greene hits a homegrown milestone.

Troy Watson since being called up to Toledo on July 25th:31IP 18H 6ER 9BB 26K 2HR BA against .175

With Will Vest’s 20th save, he is the 4th different Tigers pitcher in three seasons to get 20 or more saves.

Beau Brieske has been shut down for the rest of the season. Had a set back last week. Elbow issue.

This one hurts.

Question that needs to be asked beyond these two tiers of prospects what does the
Tigers system have?
elite tier McGonigle Rainer
very good tier Max Clark
can mash tier Josue Briceno
what do you have that's left, that is intriguing to good.

Tigers top prospect who was trade deadline bait is forcing roster issue for 2026

The Tigers' decision to hold onto infield prospect Max Anderson at the 2025 trade deadline is paying off as he continues to hit his way through the farm system.

Go Tigers !

 

[biggunsbob]

Dingler dumb base running.

 

[jas5lf]

Carpenter ripped that ball right at 1B.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jack and his gofer Balls. 1-1.

Just spun it right in the heart of the plate.
He will probably fall apart now.

Even A.J. Piershitski picked up on Flaherty's tendency to unravel after a HR.

 

[biggunsbob]

can we score runs please.

 

[jas5lf]

KC robbed again. Unbelievable play by Witt.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why is Sweeney on this team .
He already had a hit. No way he gets 2.
What a garbage at bat.
2nd and 3rd 1 out.
Weak pop fly . No advance at all.

Tigers strand 2 runners again.
McKinstry hacks at the 1st pitch and grounds out.

Again what a shit at bat by Sweeney.
5 lob’s and 1-8 RISP.

 

[biggunsbob]

Kahnle still in.

 

[nydo77]

Tigers are going a lot of incorrect guessing tonight.

 

[nydo77]

Well, here we go; walking a weak hitter with the big guys coming up.

 

[biggunsbob]

Im so tried of Holton losing hitters..

 

[nydo77]

And there goes the game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Holton is embarrassing. He is complete garbage.
Why was he pitching to Witt jr ?
Could he have been replaced ?

 

[jas5lf]

Trash bullpen strikes again.

 

[nydo77]

What was the point of bringing him in against what would surely end up being righties? Turning the lineup over in the bottom of the 8th?
