2025 Detroit Tigers: We sure do love bargain bin pitchers! - Page 18

Happy 40th Birthday Miggy - hope you have another HUGE day at the plate. (Miggy's hitting a career .397 on his birthday)

Miguel Cabrera is 0-4 at 4-0, but Carpenter carved up Karinchak for a walkoff!

.710 career OPS anyway. Which would put him fourth in today's Detroit lineup, and just barely behind Akil Baddoo.

Greinke could seriously hit. He could have been a DH.

Four on the trot. Yikes.

Detroit Tigers: Second (tied) hottest team in baseball right now. Five in a row!

What a fantastic game to watch last night! So much fun watching a team play this well.

It can always get worse.

You could be watching the Tigers bat 0-for-4 w/RISP on the Orioles broadcast, where the play-by-play bum has sat down in section 527 and is now intereviewing squeaky Little Leaguers that don't know why they like the Orioles. Or what their name is.

"What's your name?"
"Grayson"
"Like Grayson Rodriguez?"
"Uh, no."
"So your name is not Rodriguez."
"Yes, Grayson Rodriguez."

I always watch the home broadcast for games (except if the Mets are on the road), but that was too much. Hellllo, Bally Sports Detroit. Now, Tigers, please stuff it to those birds.

CONN CHRIS · 04-23-2023, 02:51 PM

ERod looking really sharp again! 15 up, 15 down.

CONN CHRIS · 04-23-2023, 03:04 PM

18 in a row. Someone please get this man a run to work with!

Westheim · 04-23-2023, 03:08 PM

I wonder what's gonna be harder. Rodriguez putting down another nine Orioles, or for the Tigers to score a single measly run.

Westheim · 04-23-2023, 03:22 PM

Welp.

CONN CHRIS · 04-23-2023, 03:25 PM

Orioles finally got a base runner in the seventh. Don't waste a start like this Kitties.

Westheim · 04-23-2023, 03:42 PM

They're trying to get him the win!

...and with they I think I mean the Orioles.

Westheim · 04-23-2023, 04:08 PM

Still in the bottom 9th, but I was wondering... With 10 LOB and 0-for-5 w/RISP, is the fake runner in extra innings actually an advantage for the Tigers?

CONN CHRIS · 04-23-2023, 04:21 PM

Dang bullpen

Nope!

cephasjames · 04-23-2023, 04:28 PM

Ugh. Again.

CONN CHRIS · 04-24-2023, 09:13 AM

I have been fortunate to be able to watch every game since the middle game of the Toronto stand and have to say, I am thrilled with how this team is playing. They are well beyond my expectations for the season. Especially the ugly schedule that they have had to start the year.

Westheim · 04-29-2023, 01:03 PM

It says it's the Tigers playing, but they scored five in three innings, so it can't be the Tigers playing. Do I need to adjust the color settings on my television set, or what is going on?

CONN CHRIS · 04-30-2023, 06:44 AM

They are doing well; working counts, playing good defense, more aggressive on the bases than they had been recently and pitchers are getting into good counts. Things will come tother for this group. You nay-sayers just watch.
