Keider Montero’s fastball has carried him to a strong start

There no obvious change to Montero’s stuff, but his maturing approach and command early on has paid dividends.

Tigers fans can't handle AJ Hinch's treatment of Colt Keith so far in 2026

Tigers fans are getting worked up every time Colt Keith is left out of a lineup.

Tigers fans can't handle AJ Hinch's treatment of Colt Keith so far in 2026.
But are we maybe overreacting a little?

This is so damn stupid. Lefties hit harrison better than righties, play Colt and Carp you dumb ****

 

[biggunsbob]

Montero getting into trouble.
BB are not good. He is in big trouble. Trails 1-0 bases loaded. Must be nice to have a team that can manufacture runs. Even the sacrifice turns into a hit.
.125 hitter K's.
Broken bat single. 3-0 Milwaukee. Runner thrown out at the plate. Montero sucked the last time he faced the Brewers
3-0 bottom 2nd.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 2nd
Dongler K's
Greene single .
Tork singles
Lee swings at 3 pitches K's sigh
Baez F-9

Rally fizzles

 

[biggunsbob]

Montero bounces back has a 123 third.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 3rd
Jones F-7. Close to a homer.
Torres 6-3
Kevin M. Doubles
Vierling BB
Dingler goes fishing K's

Frustrating tigers leave 2.

 

[tigermud]

Overall this offense is just not good enough, it’s really not that fun watching them fail with RISP over and over and over again

The 2nd inning was so tigers, two guys battle and get on base then 5 pitches later inning over. Need a couple more bats you can count on the give you good at bats more often than not. It’s just not going to get it done.

 

[biggunsbob]

Another good inning for Montero .

 

[biggunsbob]

This offense is Maddening.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 4th

Greene BB
Tork BB
Lee singles bases loaded.
Pitching change
Baez. Swings at the first damn pitch double play
PH-carpenter K’s on slow shit yet again.

God this offense blows. Why Swing at the first pitch ?
Bases loaded no outs and Tigers score only 1 run..
That Baez at bat was terrible…
3-1 Brewers.
Bases loaded no outs. Only 1 run.

 

[tigermud]

Hack away at the first pitch Javy and completely destroy any chance of a big inning

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 5th
Torres singles
McGonigle F-9.
Vierling 5-4-3

Nails on chalkboard offense.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hack away at the first pitch Javy and completely destroy any chance of a big inning

It makes no sense to hack at the first pitch with the bases loaded, and
A ground ball pincher coming in.

 

[biggunsbob]

So Montero has retired 12 in a row and we are changing him at
88 pitches ?
With two outs top 6th ? I know a lefty is coming up but why not give him a shot to finsh the inning ?

DeJesus in. K’s lefty on three pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Through five innings .
Tigers have 6 LOB’s so far.
1-8 RISP.

 

[tigermud]

what’s its say when the only time you feel any confidence in the offense to do something with RISP is when a 21 year old rookie is at the plate.

I’m so disappointed with this offense

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 6th
Brewers up 3-1
New pitcher in
Dingler F-9
Greene. Pop infield
Tork K’s

Sigh

I’m so disappointed with this offense

And Harris’s inability to make it better with trades..

 

[biggunsbob]

I hate cold weather baseball. Or cool weather baseball. All northern clubs should have retractable roofs. It’s one of the reasons I think we hit poorly in the postseason sometimes. Just a small reason.
Last two World Series tigers were in come to mind .
