Detroit Tigers Thread: Exclusive Home of El Mago & the Vingorithim

Fuck yeah Parker.

 

about fucking time

 

Fuck Jason Grilli. Forgot about that bum

 

Mayo has a sub .400 ops. Baltimore fans thought they could get skubal for a package highlighted by him. Skubal now has a sub 2 era after that strikeout of Mayo.

 

It’s crazy how high my expectations for Skubal are at this point. A 7 inning 3 hit start with 0 ER seems a little underwhelming compared to his recent stretch due to the unheard of 2 BB in one start. And less than 1 K per inning.

ERA is under 2.00 now.

 

He walked 2 guys and I just can't fathom that lack of control out of him tonight.

 

Get Kahnle out. No need to fuck around.

 

have you considered that maybe he was just tired that last half inning? Cut him some slack.

 

See, just as I said. Leave him in and he’ll be fine.

 

What the fuck?

 

Great fucking series win, given uncertainty of starting pitching this weekend. Be nice if we can take 2 of 3 from the Reds too.

 

Any word on when Reese Olson might return?

 

70 games into the season.

11 games until the halfway point, those 11 games for the Tigers are:
3 vs Reds
4 3 vs Pirates
3 @ Rays
1 2 vs Athletics

 

Pirates are 3 games

 

Oh that’s right, Monday is an off day.

 

anybody else going Saturday?

i’ll be there for a bachelor party and acting like I'm 15 years younger

 

Flaherty on saturday

 

KC and Minnesota lost

Up 8 on Minny and 8.5 on Cleveland. KC is under .500 now and 10-19 their last 29 games.

 

what is our magic number?

 

86

 

84 according to this thing. Looks like their is a website for anything

Should be at 69 by end of the month

They must be including that at least 2 of our wins would have to be against the Twins. I don’t agree with their methodology, but I’m down with their results.

Am I thinking of this correctly:

- the Twins have 94 games left.
- if they win all 94, they would have 130 wins
- we would need to win 86 games to get to 131

 

We got the next Juan Soto boys

 

is Lange potentially available to return this year? An extra BP arm would be nice

 

So if Olson pitches tomorrow, that lines him up to replace Montero on Thursday. Works out perfect . This would be order through all star game

Skubal
Olson
Flaherty
Gibson-Long / Cobb
Mize

 

Jake Rogers fall off has been extreme. What an ugly swing there on the first pitch

 

Time to get rid of Rogers. He blows

 

Here come some homers with top of order up

 

He's leaving a lot of breaking balls in the middle of the zone.

 

Fuck this ump. That was ball 4

 

Fuck yeah Riley. He crushed that

 

Tik Tok boy with no hits

 

Top of the 3rd, whitecaps currently up 14-2. McGonigle has 2 hits already and is now hitting .405 with a 1.210 ops

 

He's got two walks. I'd guess hes getting nothing to hit down there. Despite only hitting .255, his obp is like .420

 

I would think him and McGonigle are both in Erie on Tuesday

 

Dumb throw by McKinstry, luckily it didn't cost us

 

Fuck yeah Baez

 

Bullpen rest of game please.

 

Man Carpenter didn't seem to be moving very quick

 

Looked like Carpenter was running in slow motion. What the fuck was that.

 

Ump misses strike 3, then a double. Great.

 

Umpires shittiness directly impacting a game here. Instead of ball 4 to put a guy on for what then would be a two run home run he called the low ball a strike. Now he calls a low strike 3 a ball that their guy rips a double next pitch on. They get a hit here its a 2 run swing in their favor that wouldn't be there if we had ABS

 

Some good ab from Baez tonight and in general lately. Good to see some rebound

 

Hell yeah Riley
