Game #32: Detroit Tigers @ Atlanta Braves, Thursday April 30th, 2026, 12:10 Pm

Torres and Tork have excellent on base percentage. I wouldnt group them with the other 3.

Fair enough, Carp is striking out way too much, need to get him going, Rodgers needs to go he's basically an auto out.

Per the transactions log, both Zach McKinstry and Max Anderson will begin rehab assignments with Lakeland tonight.

Good start for Valdez. Now we'll probably score a couple so the trash pen can blow another

 

[gotime909]

Yeah true but is any hitter really doing well with runners on base ?
Few and far between getting runners in with this club.

When the whole lineup struggles, id look at the game plan.

 

[gotime909]

Mcgonigle is soooo damn good

Thanks, Bob. I need to remind myself that Thursday games are usually @ 1:00 pm.

Bases loaded Greene up.
He swings at three pitches and K’s.
And tigers fail again to drive a runner in from third and less then
2 outs..


Tork never does well with the bases loaded .
Hopefully this time he will.

Sadly Tork’s numbers with bases loaded are really bad..

This team cant catch a break. .
Greene’s at bat was awful he cant put the ball in play.
With the bases loaded and 1 out.
Such a bad at bat.

Through 7 innings.

• Team LOB10.
• Team RISP2-11 (Vierling 1-2, Greene 0-2, Carpenter 0-1, Torkelson 0-2, Keith 1-2, Lee 0-2)

 

[gotime909]

These batters are just so unlucky. Tork made great contact there

 

[kalinecountry]

Through their first month with the Tigers:
* Joe Nathan: Two blown saves, 5.06 ERA.
* Francisco Rodriguez: One blown save, 5.19 ERA.
* Kenley Jansen: Three blown saves, 6.14 ERA.

And what do they all have in common? all acquired at the tail end of their careers. rarely works out well. Harris is a dummy

Top 8th
Carpenter triples
Vierling doubles 2-2 game !
Lee BB
PH-Dingler K’s looking (unproductive at bat)
McGonigle BB
Torres. Sac fly rbi 3-2 tigers.
PH-Jones sigh K’s.

How are we ever going to know if Keith can hit lefty’s ?

 

[tigermud]

If they take the lead please keep Jansen on the bench.

 

[gotime909]

Im shocked dipshit aj isnt pinch hitting for mcgonigle lol

 

[kalinecountry]

10 hits 2 runs 3 for 13 risp 10 lob.

 

[gotime909]

At least now the loss will be tagged on to whatever releiver blows it

Looks like Hurter is up for the 9th with some LH's due up, l would rather take our chances with anyone but Jansen so that'll work. Hope for the best prepare for another walk off.

Nope Finnigan up now IDK he had 29 pitches yesterday, still better odds than Jansen though

He did but his numbers are really poor with the bases loaded.
Im not sure who good Greene’s numbers are. Tork at least hit the ball today.

 

[biggunsbob]

Anderson 2 clean innings .

His era is down to 5.82 :/

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th

Greene K’s looking
Tork K’s swinging
PH-Perez BB. Scores on a error
Vierling singles
Lee BB. (Out at home)
Dingler doubles. Rbi 5-2

5-2 tigers heading to the 9th.


Nice piece of running by Perez and Cora waving him home !
We sure Lee didn't get his hand in ? Yeah the ball beat him.
I thought it was closer than it looked. I guess not.

 

[tigermud]

that was a very helpful error, now maybe just let Anderson go for 3 clean innings vs 29 pitch yesterday guy
