The Detroit Tigers' bullpen ranks 30th in total strikeouts with 69.

This season the Tigers have blown 3 leads of 5+ runs through just 27 games. (1-2 in those games). The Tigers blew only 2 total 5+ run leads in the prior four seasons combined [2022–2025].

PEREZ BETTER START HITTING OR TIGERS BETTER START LOOKING!

Hey Jack . Walks do not help you !

Nice work dipshit !

 

[biggunsbob]

We have the dumbest staff in baseball.

Jansen last night
Jack today .

Lets just throw a pitch right down the middle with no movement at all.
Was that a 1-2 count pitch right down the middle for the 4th run to Lowe ? Man we are so dumb.
Dumb to dumb dumb
Lmao I think both homers were on 1-2 counts according to espn if im looking at it right. My bad the three run home was right down the middle on a 1-1 count.

Flaherty blows

 

[biggunsbob]

Perez should be sent to Toledo.

 

[biggunsbob]

Thank god this is Jacks last year with us.
All three home run pitches nothing but gopher balls.
Nothing to to fool a batter, no movement.
Nothing . Hey Jack move some ones feet!

 

[biggunsbob]

Im going to to the store. Maybe radio will be better .

Im going to to the store. Maybe radio will be better .

Yeah, these Tigers are certainly a challenge to root for.

 

[biggunsbob]

We just can't get the hitters ever to hit together. Now Dillion is in a mini slump it seems like. They hit Homers .we hit singles tonight.

When they do score they other team out slugs us like last night. I still watched on my phone .

 

[gotime909]

I wouldve let Flaherty pitch til he gave up 20.

 

[gotime909]

Tork is raking. 4 straight games with a homer

 

[kalinecountry]

No sense in getting upset over every pitch and at bat by the Tigers because the Tigers are not going anywhere this year or postseason if they make it with pitchers like this guy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Frustrating we can't hit with runners on. Seems like we hit alot of solo homers.

 

[gotime909]

It feels like we have at least one 4 pitch walk a game

 

[biggunsbob]

Oh look another bullpen gopher ball.
81 mph. Meat pitch. I guess it was a curve that didn't curve .

Baez makes that nice play but cant throw to first on a routine play that ended up costing 2 runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

All we need is a 8 spot so Jansen can come on and blow a 1 run lead.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer is the first tiger in 10 years to homer in 4 games in row.
2016 Kinsler .

Five games in a row was (Big Country) Marcus Thames.
2008

 

[biggunsbob]

Perez 2 hits now batting .103. Maybe he is breaking out of it lol ?
