Carpenter proves tonight he can hit lefties better than jones.

Are you paying attention AJ?

Harris might just be the worst gm in sports

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey
Anderson got a 123
9th inning !

 

[biggunsbob]

Harris could trade a few players for a haul of players and the tigers could still compete for a wild card in the AL or the crappy central division.

He never had a problem hitting lefties in the minors. Not letting him and Colt face lefties is one of the all time bad manager moves in my lifetime. Just so turds like Ibanez and Jones can get undeserved at bats.

 

[biggunsbob]

Only three pitches have done this to the Yankees.

10 + k’s 0 BB, 1 or 0 hit allowed

Pedro Martinez
Chris Sale
Casey Mize.

AJ Hinch 1000 managerial wins now.

I was at the game. It's nice to see Mize pitch that well (though the Yankees are in a real slump and missing all of their prime pieces other than Rice), and it's nice to see us catch a few breaks, but one thing to bear in mind; we scored 5 unearned runs. Take away the two sloppy errors, and the passed ball, and we might have ended up with 2 runs going into the eighth, or 3 depending on how you look at that fourth inning (one of those runs would probably have scored without the error). The Tigers offense wasn't overwhelming, just lucky. The only two balls hit very far were still in the park, and to Yankees, who dropped one of them.

Resign Mize? What would it take?

Tigers celebrate Hinch's milestone win vs. Yankees: 'Really cool feeling'.
Will Vest is generally the ringleader when it comes to these post-game celebrations. He has an uncanny knack of knowing when somebody earned their first big-league save, or win, or got their first big-league knock.
Or, in this case, their 1,000th managerial win.
"I've been waiting on that one," Vest said. "I've been trying to get him in a cart for a couple of years."
Detnews

Casey Mize gem delivers Tigers victory, A.J Hinch win milestone.
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch always wants the focus to be on his team.
But that wasn't going to happen on this night at Yankee Stadium. Even though his team played great.
The Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 7-3, on Monday, June 29, and it was significant for Hinch because he became the 68th manager in MLB history to reach 1,000 wins in his career.
Freep

Casey Mize dominant as Tigers thump Yankees in series opener.
Casey Mize pitched seven shutout innings and tied a career high with 10 strikeouts to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on Monday night in the Bronx.
The Tigers (36-49) will play the Yankees (48-36) twice more this week.
The Tigers took advantage of two Yankees errors to score seven runs -- five of them unearned -- in the first four innings.

MID-SEASON GRADES: UTILITY AND CATCHER.
Totally Tigers

We are just over the halfway mark of the 2026 MLB season and it’s time to hand out grades. Over the coming week, we’re asking readers to grade individual players as well as management. At the end, we’ll post the final results.
Today, we’re starting off with the utility players and catchers. Only those with enough playing time will be eligible for evaluation. Please grade each player based upon both their offense and defense using primarily their slash lines (BA/OBP/SLG/OPS) and Fielding Run Value. Also compare each player with his previous stats as well as where he sits with the rest of the roster.
To assist you in your evaluation, please refer to each player’s stats at:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/2026.shtml (for offense)
Fielding Run Value Leaderboard (for defense)

There are multiple votes to be cast so please make sure that you cast votes for each poll in today’s blog.

I voted Dingler A
Rogers E
McKinstry D

Mize is trying to make the Tigers decision difficult...trade him or try to keep him. I think they should trade him.
