Great catch by Carp. I just saw the replay.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn Seattle Closer just gave up a 3 spot in top of the 9th up 6-3. I think it’s his first runs he has given up. All after two outs were recorded.
Game head for Extra innings. What a joke Seattle pen is.,

It was the first earned runs he gave up this season, though he did give up a couple unearned ones. Bullpen meltdown; it's 12-6 now, and the Twins are still up in the top of the 10th. The Seattle pen wasn't a joke previously.

Shoot could have been a stellar night. Still a very good night.

If this season continues the way it has, the Detroit Tigers have 4 legitimate candidates for Comeback Player of the Year. Three of them who have never had a decent year since they came to Detroit.…

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

If this season continues the way it has, the Detroit Tigers have 4 legitimate candidates for Comeback Player of the Year. Three of them who have never had a decent year since they came to Detroit. Another with unremarkable stats who is having the best season of his 6-year career and one of the offensive and defensive leaders on this team.
Our poll last week showed the results of Tiger fans re-focusing their attentions on these players and away from the consistently better ones from the previous years. Obviously, these 4 who have been struggling have been more interesting to follow and generating more feel-good moments.
But which of these players are you rooting for the most?

Which Tiger are you rooting for the most this year?

The Comeback Player of the Year Awards are presented annually to one player in each league who has re-emerged on the field during the season.

How is McKinstry on this list? What is he coming back from? Maybe he could be considered a "breakout" player.

Shoot could have been a stellar night. Still a very good night.

Over 100 games left doesn't really matter right now. I don't worry about other teams at this point.

The Tigers improve to 38-20.

2024, they got their 38th win on June 30th.

2023: July 6th.

2022: July 21st.

Tigers next 8 series: White Sox, Cubs, Orioles, Reds, Pirates, Rays, Athletics.
June could be a crazy good month.

Spencer Torkelson: "I'm locked into getting my pitch. My pitch, just looking for something out over (the plate). When I'm just trying to get my pitch and cover that, I see everything a lot more clear. And then, obviously, not trying to do too much with that pitch once I get it."

If the goal was to have Jackson Jobe throw 100-125 innings, don't plan on seeing him until the the first turn in the rotation post ASB around July 20.
Expect him to get some work in Toledo for maybe 2 rehab starts prior to that.

Among position players, Dillon Dingler now leads the Tigers and is tied for 10th in the American League with 1.9 fWAR. Tigers hitters have combined for 10.2 fWAR so far this year, the second-highest total among AL teams.
