Game #78: Detroit Tigers @ Tampa Bay Rays, Saturday June 21st, 2025, 12:10 Pm

[biggunsbob]

New Tampa pitchier is in his mlb debut .

Perez F-9
Baez F-9
McKinstry popout .

Nice work tigers. 7 pitches.

SGL gets another inning and four batters later it’s still 7-1.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just think tigers were an extra innings win away from being 22 games over .500 . Three games later it’s only 18. Need to find a way to win Sunday. Baseball is a strange game.

Tigers 7th

Meadows k’s looking on a ball. [ He wasn’t happy]
Rogers swings at first pitch popout.
Keith BB
Torres BB
Carpenter F-8

Tigers just cant get any hits with runners on.
Yikes 8 Lobs today.

 

[biggunsbob]

SGL. At least is eating innings. But he just gives up to many
Homes. His 3rd homer with a 1-2 count. Stupid is when you don’t learn from your mistakes.
Just right down the damn middle.

I post this because this was Rogers last game he hit a homer. His 10th.
He was batting .196 after this game. .

Time to make him the manger of Toledo. Or a coach.
Or roving tiger Catcher instructor .
Although his passed ball cost 4 runs today.
His ground out got 1 back.

Tigers 8th

Jones sees 13 pitches fouls off a bunch
Deep Double scores a run. 8-2.
Dingler sac fly 8-3. (Needed a hit)
Sweeney K’s looking.

This ump is bad.
Take away Rogers Passed ball and it’s a 4-3 game.

Tigers 3rd pitcher Smith 123 8th.

Why do the Tigers keep getting blown out? They've been good for so much of this year. Suddenly we can't pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Too many Lobs today. Could not get any big hits with runners on base. Passed ball in 1st doomed tigers. SGL did go 6.1 innings but gave up 3 solo Homer all on 1-2 counts.

Because we only have 1 1/2 starting pitchers now. Jack is up and down. Mize has struggle recently and bullpen days have been ineffective.
Skubal is it. It’s all can Think of. Plus we are not getting any clutch hits with runners on. Tigers with 9 lobs today. Plenty of chances.
Today passed ball cost 4 runs in 1st. But still Hurter wasn’t good either.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well hopefully this 3 game skid can end Sunday. Mize will start.
Plus we play Tampa bay in two weeks at home.

 

[biggunsbob]

Only Third time all season tigers dropped three games in a row.

Team is 2-5 last seven.
Team is 4-6 last ten.

SGL and Montero both pitched good enought to give us a shot. The problem was AJ using a shitty opener in both games to put us down 4 runs before they even got in. We have 5 starters that are more than capable. We're doing the "pitching chaos" because aj thinks hes the smartest man in baseball.

 

[Oldenslow]

Gotta find out a way to take at least one of these games in Tampa. Hopefully both. Need to get Carpenter and Torkelson hitting again.

So Carpenter on IL. I have had lumbar stress fractures for years and am almost 79yrs old. Kerry had lost the ability to recognize the strike zone since his three homer day. Looking at strikes and swinging at bad pitches, looking horrible at the plate. The last two Hurter experiments were a disaster. AJ ought to rethink that strategy. The Rays are a really good hitting team, exploiting the Tigers pitching.

To be fair Rogers catches that K pass ball no runs are scored in top of the 1st.
Yes Hurter was very bad after that miss. But still I agree pitching chaos worked much better last year.

mize hs been fine. 15 earned runs in his last 7 games, 4 in one, 3 in another, and 2 or less in the other 5. Only one bad outing on 5/30 when he gave up 3 in 3 1/3 inning.

Rogers is a plus defensive catcher. Can't pin 1 mistake on him. Hurter was a shit show and AJ made the call.

Rogers is a liability now if he can’t get a few hits. Just my opinion. He can’t hit anymore. His defense while good isn't as great this year.
They must have been crossed up because the k was right down the middle. Batter whiffed completely. So I guess it’s both their faults.
Inning would been over with no runs. Rogers use to hit homers.
We need that rogers back.
