GAME 48 - Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians, Monday, May 18, 2026, 6:40 PM

Rip Hamilton is at the game.

26 year old Edward Valencia has 7 homers for Toledo he plays
Catcher and 1st base. I still think he should have Rogers
Spot. We may as well go younger, and get rid of the deadweight on this club.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just the black hole of happiness in the tigers lineup

Tork (.192)
McKinstry (.175)
Vierling (.204)
Perez .175)
Short (.000)

 

[biggunsbob]

How cute
I Vierling solo Homer . Trail 7-2.

Rip Hamilton is at the game.

Seeing him courtside at the pistons disaster yesterday and now this..

Maybe watch on tv Rip?

 

[biggunsbob]

I see stupid still is still with the tiger pitchers

0-2 count hanger right over the plate to Ramirez .
Kaboom

Btw DeJesus can go away to..
another Harris mistake.

 

[biggunsbob]

Game over Tigers lose 8-2 Final.
Fall to 20-28.
Harris your team is embarrassing.
They fall 6.5 out of first.

Just Torres coming isn't going to help this lineup.

 

[biggunsbob]

Glad I work to till 7ish. Will miss the first few innings tomorrow.

Should the 0 fence score 2 runs. You can throw Joe Blow and it won't change a thing.

I agree all of the hitting coaches need to be fired. they've got em all f'd up with their approaches and timing mechanics

5 whole hits yesterday off a bum with an ERA over 5, splendid

How cute
I Vierling solo Homer . Trail 7-2.

I of the bad problems too many solo homeruns. Lack of baserunners is a problem. Does lack of base runners has to do to Lack of hitting1

I thought that Harris said that the organization was going to teach hitters to "command the strike zone."

I thought that Harris said that the organization was going to teach hitters to "command the strike zone."

I think that is part of what is wrong with Tork. He is trying to command the strike zone by making the pitcher throw a bunch of pitches...however, he is letting hittable pitches go by early in the count.
