Game #93: Tampa Bay Rays @ Detroit Tigers, Tuesday July 8th,2025 6:40 Pm

Every game I watch, Tork looks great defensively.

Defensive metrics still show him as a bad defender. Anyone who watches him play this year know hes been great. Worthless Defensive metrics cost him an all star appearance this year because hes been the best hitter at 1st

bad base running by V

 

[gotime909]

We have to lead the league in getting thrown out on the bases

I know. It seems like everyone raves about how they take the extra base...but it seems like they get thrown out on dumb baserunning a lot. That one cost them a run.

I take the good with the bad. I know being aggressive has led to far more runs than outs. Just sometimes we're more dumb than aggressive.

So Lee not Vest is warming up to close ?
Looks like vest .

Tigers 8th

Greene K’s
Tork BB
Perez BB
Dingler HBP (head) (0-2 count)
McKinstry k’s
Vierling k’s

Just a poor at bat by McKinstry when we need an add on run.
Should we have used Meadows over Matt ? Lefty/righty .

Why do we have issues putting the ball in play with bases loaded?

 

[nydo77]

Vierling needs to get it together sooner rather than later. He looks like he isn't picking anything up.
