The Tigers entered September with the best record in the AL for the first time since 2006 and for just the 11th time in 125 seasons of franchise history, also doing so in 1987, 1984, 1968, 1945, 1935, 1934, 1909, 1908 and 1907.
Except for 1987, they reached the World Series.

Trey Sweeney has the tools but his bat path is preventing him from maximizing his production. A deep dive on the effects of Sweeney's bat path and the outcomes we have seen from it and how unlocking an efficient path will let his power play.


Kerry Carpenter, somewhat unbelievably, is now just 10-for-72 (.139) with runners in scoring position this year, with 21 RBI, 3 walks, and 23 strikeouts. That ranks 262nd out of 263 hitters with at least 70 PAs with RISP this year.

Switching teams mid-season and immediately throwing 14+ scoreless innings is rare. Prior to Kyle Finnegan, the last MLB reliever to do so was in 2018 (Erik Goeddel) and the last Tigers reliever to do so was in 1983 (Doug Bair).

I so tired of these broadcasters talking about soto’s homer without mentioning the darn 1-2 count.

 

[biggunsbob]

We have the Dumbest staff on the planet.

We all knew he was swinging 3-0 except our dumb pitcher.
Other then Skubal i cant stand the way some of the pitchers
Pitch on this staff.
Freaking 91 mph BP fastball right in a home run hitters wheel
House .

 

[biggunsbob]

I see our leadoff hitter saw 2 pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Not a strike ump. My god.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tork 2 out RBI ties the game 1-1 !

 

[biggunsbob]

Perez singles tigers lead 2-1 but the bone head runs into an out at 2nd base to end the inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Need to get him some more runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Caught stealing hurt.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man carpenter chases a bad pitch and K’s…Mets pitcher is rolling since 1st inning and caught stealing

 

[biggunsbob]

Top 4th
Leadoff walk to Soto, and a easy steal because Long isnt paying attention.
Alfonso 5-3
Nimmo (3-2) singles
Vientos BB. Sigh
McNeil. Singles 2-2
Mullins. Sac Fly trail 3-2.
Torrens a 1-2 Count pitch right in the box upper right at 92 mph.
****ing BP pitch. Not out of the box . Not above the box .
Not out of the strike zone. I hate the way this staff pitches.
Game is probably over at 6-2.

**** off Long !




(Gibson-Long blows). Not sure what they see in this guy.
He doesn’t throw hard..Not much swing and miss. He is always walking guys because he is afraid of opposing teams beat hitters.
I just cant stand this guy..Send his ass back to Toledo.

K. Montero is better than this clown .

one stiff for another stiff sadly.

 

[biggunsbob]

Clown show continues as Mets are rolling us sadly.

 

[biggunsbob]

Harris and Hinch totally messed up not using Melton and K. Montero as starters. Harris totally bungles the deadline by not getting a starter.
How many trade deadlines has Harris messed up now ?
2 of his 3 years ? This team so had a chance for a run at it, and Harris trades for Paddack and Morton :/
