GAME #9 - Detroit Tigers vs. St. Louis Cardinals, April 5, 2026, 7:20 PM

[biggunsbob]

I’d really like a comeback.
The Pen with runners on has not been good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 8th
Tigers trail 6-3
Stanek in for the cards.
Meadows pop out SS.
Torkelson BB
Baez. K’s (predictable off the plate)
Jones K’s (AJ he can’t hit Righty’s) also predictable.


Tigers have 7 walks and only 3 runs.
So why no pinch hit for JB or Jones ?

 

[gotime909]

Good thing dipshit AJ took Colt and Carp out already to pinch hit turds that are now stuck facing rightys.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cards 9th
Seabold still in
Trail 5-3.
1-3
3 unassisted?
Single. (Caught stealing)
Dingler does have a cannon for a arm.

 

[gotime909]

A double and 3 walks for tork tonight. Good to see him finally have a pulse. Dipshit AJ will probably sit him tomorrow now

 

[tigermud]

Can we get two bloops and a blast

 

[biggunsbob]

Good thing dipshit AJ took Colt and Carp out already to pinch hit turds that are now stuck facing rightys.

Who was he saving McKinstry for ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers needed a big hit with the bases loaded in the 6th .

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th
O’Brien in for the cards.
McGonigle 3-1 (1st pitch swinging)
Torres K’s
Vierling popout Ss.



The throw to 1st from Dejesus and lack of hitting with guys on base kind of doomed the tigers tonight. 1-6 RISP and 10 lob
bad loss.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cardinals 5, Tigers 3: So much for the sweep

Oh, the weather outside was frightful, and the Tigers were… not at their best. I ain’t so Sammy Cahn.

Tigers' hopes for a home sweep wiped away with one sloppy inning. Paywall.
The Cardinals put up four runs in the fifth inning, helped out by some subpar defense by the Tigers. Detroit now heads to Minnesota, at 4-5.

I just don't get why they keep refusing to let lefty hitters face lefty pitching. Carp had no trouble hitting lefties in the minors and theyve refused to let him face them. Now they're doing it to Colt. Colt had almost identical numbers vs leftys and rightys his last full year in the minors. Had ops over .900 vs both.

AJ over thinks everything. Pinch hitting for Keith and Carp were terrible decisions.

 

[lonesometiger]

this was an ugly loss!

 

[kalinecountry]

Parker Meadows got EVs of 90.7, 98.7, and 105.0 tonight. He’s dropped his K% to below 20% and raised his wRC+ to 129.

Detroit Tigers Opening Day recognized the loss of their former players, before the first pitch.
