Top 7th

What was the reasoning for skipping Jobe and letting him go 2 weeks between starts? He was coming off 2 great starts where he had his walks down. Seems like an assine time to skip him

Maybe trying to save him for later in the year. Idk He was not sharp.

 

[tomdalton22]

not a very good start by Jobe

 

[biggunsbob]

Dickerson time. Go tigers ! Time to walk Ripley .

He's currently on pace for barely 110 innings. If that's too many then they're making a mistake even having him up

Zach McKinstry is one of the toughest outs in MLB.

Frustrating we failed to get any runs in top of the 8th.

Remember he's never pitched more than 91 innings in a year. He'd probably get rest in Toledo as well.

He had a fluke hamstring injury last year that kept him out 6 weeks and still threw almost 100 innings. His arm is fine for 150. If you wanna limit it a bit then do it when hes had a rough outing. Not when hes looked great. That's more of what I'm questioning.

 

[gotime909]

Nice stress free 9th from Kahnle!! Avoided the sweep. Now take the next series

You're probably right and hamstring or not I'm just not sure they want him to go from 91 to 150.

Tigers win 7-4.
Now 19-12.

Very nice not to get swept by Houston. Tough place to play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice to see Keith and and Baez hit 1st homers of the season.

ROSTER ROADMAP.
Totally Tigers

Get ready, Tiger fans, this roster is going to change again soon. The first of the team’s IL players – Matt Vierling – is close to returning.
And the 2 most likely players who will get sent down to make room for Vierling – and eventually others – are the supposed keys to the team’s future.

It sounds like Vierling is first to come back. Send Keith down. Probably no room for Margot when he gets healthy. When Meadows gets back, Jung probably gets sent down.

My one-man curse of the Astros continues... they're like 1-8 or 1-9 now when I go to games, including 0-4 against the Tigers (2 of those losses with Verlander on the mound against very mediocre Detroit teams)
