GAME 89 - Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers, Saturday, July 4, 2026 4:05 PM

[kalinecountry]

Having Montero relegated to the bullpen after his excellent numbers as a starter made the difference in this game with him going 3 innings.

 

[gotime909]

So montero is the 7th, 8th and 9th guy?

 

[biggunsbob]

Is Montero relegated to the bullpen?

For now . When jack came back from ir .

Jack Flaherty and Keider Montero blank the Rangers

Ok, Tyler Holton got one out as well, but the two right-handers cancelled any Rangers fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Greene homers, Flaherty sharp in Tigers' 3-0 win over Rangers.
The Tigers got to celebrate this Fourth of July holiday as a happy bunch, as they shut out the Rangers en route to a 3-0 victory in Arlington, Texas.
It was a stark contrast to the last time these two teams faced each other on Thursday night, when the Rangers dominated in a 10-4 victory. Unlike that game against Nathan Eovaldi, the Tigers went at starter Cal Quantrill early.

Still makes zero sense. I'm convinced to toledo and even Erie have batter of then Outman .

I agree with you. Not sure, though, if someone else can make enough of an impact to lift the Tigers out of the hole it (sic) has dug.

It is probably a combination of service time, and the fact that triple AAA pitching is not the same as what these top prospects will face in the majors. I guess that a bit more experience will help. The other thing is that if they do come up, they will be on the team and won't be able to work out anywhere that is team related with this most likely scenario of a strike for the 2027 season,

You are probably right but If our dipshit GM had been more proactive in May maybe we would not be in this predicament.

Toledo (34-40) First half. (7-4) 2nd half. (41-44 overall..Toledo won 7-6 in walk off fashion by scoring 2 in the bottom of the 9th inning.

I think a saw a stat that the Tigers lead mlb .. we score most of our runs via the home run.

That doesn't appear to be correct. According to this site, we are 9th in that statistic. Teams With The Highest % Of Runs From HRs in 2026

It must have been something else because they were talking about homers and how much the tigers relay on them to score runs.
The graf had us at #. Wish 8 had taken a picture of it.

I refuse ro believe that the Tigers don't have better minor league players then .157 James Outman . Why does Harris refuse to call anyone up ?

Is it Service time? What is it?

If they aren't on the 40 man roster, they can still play in the minor leagues if there is a lockout next year
