Turns out Joel Zumaya doesn't just throw heat when he's on the mound, but he also brings it on social media. Zumaya — a beloved player during the Detroit Tigers' 2006 World Series run known for his 104 mph fastballs — didn't hold back on his Instagram and Facebook, lighting into the Tigers front office and specifically, general manager Al Avila. "Is there any other true Detroit Tiger Fan as disappointed as I am on how this season is going for the team!!!!," Zumaya's post begins. "WELL I JOEL ZUMAYA # 54 FORMER DETROIT TIGER, truly am disgusted, disappointed, just flat out upset on how this organization has let itself fall into a category which I thought this organization would never see again!!! I’m gonna say this straight out of my mouth, I can’t believe they gave Al Avila a undisclosed extension, blows my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯." https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/05/25/detroit-tigers-joel-zumaya-gm-al-avila-rebuild/9927645002/

He's 32 and this year is the end of his contract. He won't be part of a Tigers contending team. So you need to look at alternatives within the org...unfortunately player development takes 10-15 years.

This game is a youtube(free) exclusive.

Someone is responsible for the major league lineup being this awful 5+ years into a rebuild. Apparently that person isn't employed by the Tigers.

Baez will get hot on July 1st right on time.

Hinch has to give Grossman a few days off. I don't care that his replacments are worse. This is ridiculous.

Don't look Story or Correa's numbers now :(.

Oblique injury- Toledo IL

last night was a normal loss....close game and the Twins got the late run. On the spectrum of terrible games this season, this one is on the lower end.

Tork has started to make some hard contact; good step in his development.

Eric Boesch

Haase with two men on...70 mph weak fly ball, then Daz gets diced up on 3 pitches. They were relying on Haase for something this year...500 OPS from a guy who can't defend won't get you another year.

you don't have to post every fleeting take.

Lynn Henning takes on record interviews as gospel.

No update from Tigers on Austin Meadows (vertigo), who remains at home in Florida and won't rejoin the team on this trip. "We're very concerned with what's going on with Austin," A.J. Hinch said. Baddoo on the toledo IL with an oblique injury.

#Tigers have recalled RHP Elvin Rodriguez from Triple A Toledo, who is scheduled to start tomorrow in Minnesota. Additionally, LHP Eduardo Rodriguez has been placed on the 15-day IL (retroactive to May 19) with a left ribcage sprain.

Henning: Jackson Jobe on display today at Marchant Stadium, all 19 years of him, starting for Single A Lakeland against the hated Jupiter Hammerheads ... Jobe's first inning: 9 pitches, two Ks, sawed-off ground-out, fastball 94-96, slider bedeviling.

Game rained out. Makeup on July 14th at 7:10 pm

The tigers org can pivot away from this disaster because they don’t have many long term payroll obligations. But they need to fill at least 5 lineup positions with very little help in the high minors.

Why would Avila take responsibility for the major league team? The future is somewhere in the minor leages...you can see it right?

Skubal - left leg contusion. He will be evaluated tomorrow.

Someone will take the fall for the offense. They need a sacrificial lamb for this disaster.
