RHP Brenan Hanifee will be the opener tonight for the Tigers. RHP Ty Madden had been listed as the starter, but he will now pitch in bulk relief for a third time this season.

Why the Tigers need, even now, to consider a trade bounty July might deliver

The AL Central is forgiving, and the Tigers could yet make a playoff push -- if enough healthy people return, and perform. But selling star talent at the deadline might be Detroit's necessary move.

Tigers Stumbling Through May. 54 minutes.
TMLR

Zack Short is hitless in his time this year..a 32 year old journeyman..who Scott Harris selected to fill in during the knjury pandemic..the question WHY is a 169 career hitter your choice to fill in.

Tarik Skubal is lightly tossing two weeks after having surgery to remove a bone chip from his left elbow.

He's only a rookie. But his 'hold-your-ground' approach is already elite.

friggin awesome paying $150 for mlb streaming when every other game is on a different streaming platform.

 

[coulomb]

Cant wait till AJ is overmanaging a Dairy Queen somewhere..... else

 

[nydo77]

Swinging at ghosts.

 

[coulomb]

Madden drilled and hit, removed from the game..

An injured pitcher, who woulda thunk?

 

[biggunsbob]

So here is what happened . According to Dickerson

Hurter our best rp the last month comes in.

Clement who never walks walks.
A lefty batting .170 against lefty’s drive both runs in.
Tork just misses fielding it.
Tigers just cant get out of thier own way.

 

[nydo77]

Now Madden is hit by a 107mph comebacker on the 1st batter he faces, and Smith comes in..,

 

[nydo77]

Now Smith picked Pinango off of first base; at least we have that. It's going to be a long night; expect to see a certain catcher pitching before it's over.

 

[lonesometiger]

another pitcher injury! Can the batboy throw?

 

[biggunsbob]

Madden drilled and hit, removed from the game..

An injured pitcher, who woulda thunk?

Missed it . Is he ok ?

 

[lonesometiger]

What an O fence wait for the wild pitch!

 

[lonesometiger]

sign to a large contract and Keith does not play the field?

 

[lonesometiger]

his name not workman its gloveman needed dp.

 

[coulomb]

Missed it . Is he ok ?

Doubtful, he was holding his arm and didnt even attempt a pitch when he was removed.

Then they showed the AJ interview from the previous 1/2 inning saying that Madden was going to be the bulk inning guy for this game.

Somewhere, some baseball god is laughing.

 

[lonesometiger]

fo to center for adp dont see that every day. Tigers find ways to make outs in ways I dont think about!

 

[lonesometiger]

bull pen holding them to 2 runs O fence cant find runs?

 

[lonesometiger]

2-2 on a green DOUBLE

 

[biggunsbob]

Can someone hit a homer for us !

 

[lonesometiger]

THIS IS THE TIME.
