Heard on the 97.1 fm they had the weekly interview with AJ and he said Finnegan is pitching for Toledo tonight at Iowa and of all goes well he will be with the tigers foe the Atlanta series.

Strangely Finnegan just wanted to be actived. He didn’t want to pitch for Toledo Tonight. AJ also said Skubal had. Bullpen session Monday and was cutting it loose which surprised AJ.

I hope Skubal is careful with his get a strike fastball to get ahead of the hitters . He is third on the team in allowing homers at 17.

 

[biggunsbob]

Team really isn’t hitting very well. It shows that they really do not have a superstar to carry them.

Tork is doing well last 7 and last 15 games. I dips down over 30 games.
What is strange is does anyone remember when we have had Tork and Green hot at the same time ? Man that would be nice.

===============
Dingler
Most consistent hitter over last 7,15, and 30 games while
Catching. Dingler is starting after a night game. AJ shows that he Can’t start Rogers.
==========
Keith
Last 7 .316/.409/.474
Last 15 .217/294/.304 1 homer 4 RBIs
Last 30 .232/.294/.394. 4 homers 11 RBIs.

Just a few who were better before the all star break. I didn’t realize how much Torres has fallen off.

 

[biggunsbob]

Last 21 games
Tigers 7-14
Guardians 16-5

I wonder if they test Skubal today with bunts. Probably not.
Idk.

Idk.

My guess is they will be looking to ambush him

 

[biggunsbob]

Im concerned about Torres. Need to get everyone going but especially him.

I sure hope we can get a lead. I have to head in at 2:30 ish so I’d like a lead when I have the radio on.

 

[biggunsbob]

i knew they were going to bunt and try and test Skubal.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang it he had Martinez 1-2 and walked him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal cant find the damn plate.

 

[gotime909]

I thought skubal was hurt? Why on earth are they risking his health?

 

[biggunsbob]

Colt saves a double but this is not the start we needed from Skubal.

 

[biggunsbob]

I thought skubal was hurt? Why on earth are they risking his health?

He had a bullpen session that was normal Monday. All test were negative before that session.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal settles down. And gets out of the jam.

 

[biggunsbob]

Do any of our lefty’s try to hit the ball where it’s pitched ?

Carpenter and Greene fail after Torres walks. Weak contact.
Tigers have been shutout 10 innings in a row in the series now.
Bibee 22 pitches
Skubal 21 pitches

 

[nydo77]

Typical Tigers first inning

 

[nydo77]

Do any of our lefty’s try to hit the ball where it’s pitched.

I would say no. And that inflexibility is a major problem.

 

[biggunsbob]

TS. Looks off to me. A .150 hitter makes ot look easy on single
Pulled to left.

Back to back singles off of change ups right in the heart of the
Plate :/ I do not get those pitches.

 

[nydo77]

Skubal isn’t locating well.

 

[tigermud]

Skubal doesn’t have it today there is absolutely no hope left for this team, zero what so ever. It’s a lost cause.
