Three of the four Tiger minor league affiliates have made the post
season. West Michigan, Erie and Lakeland. They all win the first half division they are in.

Big 2 run shot for Perez after tork walked. Quick hook on Mize after only 80 pitches means we'll see 4 relievers. Good luck with that

 

[gotime909]

Here we go. Lead off walk by chase lee

 

[gotime909]

Guess Mize mightve tweaked his hammy again. Good lord these pitchers are weak on this staff.

Detroit Tigers won't abandon 'pitching chaos' strategy. Here's why

The Detroit Tigers' goal of the "pitching chaos" strategy is to limit how many times the primary pitcher faces the top hitters in the opposing lineup.

Casey Mize leaves game vs, rays after a drop in velocity, mound visit from trainer.

 

[gotime909]

Kahnle drags his dick covering first and is beat by the batter. Just lazy. Tork with a great play to double up the rays to get Kahnle off the hook

 

[gotime909]

I've never seen a player turn more routine fly balls into sliding catches than riley lol

 

[biggunsbob]

Kaboom ! I think I can get in on. Was at mall got to car right when
Perez hit his 2 run homer !

I think meadows homer may seal this game hopefully!

Crap he was pitching so good. I saw a few innings at the mall.

 

[biggunsbob]
