Picked a good day to have other plans lol

According to Merriam-Webster, the phrase "unmitigated ass" is:  in regards/reagrding to MLB, Detroit Tigers 2022-2023 offense.

VERY likable play there!

You would think that if a guy doesn't throw very hard, and you can't pickup his pitch speed, you'd basically go to dink mode and just stay back and try to dink him to death. I know, what am I thinking- - that would require the ability to shift gears in game. Part of the problem with being down by only one - they'd rather all keep trying to tie it on one swing.

Jeffrey Springs is pitching a no-hitter through 6.   Shep and Capt. Happy should be mentioning this after every batter.   

CMun has never seen a Tigers opposing pitcher who wasnt in line for the Cy Young.

And also a coaching staff to actually coach em up on it...I'm not really sure what Hinch actually does at this point.

Javy’s slick glove work is the exact opposite of his approach to a two strike slider 8 inches off the plate. 

[Tigerbomb13]

Definitely insurmountable now

[Jim Cowan]

Another run.  That's really rubbing it in.

[Dtrain72]

Ugh, whelp I'm out...thought maybe they'd at least keep me around until the 7th inning today, they got close, baby steps, baby steps...

[Toddwert]

decent pitching and horrible hitting seems like we been there before..... 

[Jim Cowan]

Mud Hens tied 0-0 in the 4th.  They don't have any hits either!  Some guy named Goudeau is pitching.

The pitching was a disaster yesterday, but that felt like a one-off. The hitting kinda doesn't, which is scary for sure

[gehringer_2]

They might want to drop Foley off 60 miles short when they come north to Detroit.

which was my concern the whole off season when you dont add anyone who has a track record of hitting in the majors

[Tenacious D]

The team is completely out of sorts in almost every phase.  Let’s hope it’s just a team slump they can snap out of.

[chasfh]

If it wasn't done before ...

[Tigerbomb13]

Foley opens the floodgates.

Waiting for Goudeau to give up a run?

[Toddwert]

not a smart move by Foley throwing to first twice

[chasfh]

If Siri got the huge jump at first after two throws over that Dan said he did, then Foley might as well as thrown over the third time to try to get him and risk the balk call, because Siri ended up just waltzing to second anyway.

[Toddwert]

4-0 rays after 6 innings

If you throw over twice, you might as well thow the third one and either give him the base or pick him off.

EDIT: LOL _ as Chas just posted.....

There should be a real possibility Schoop is released by July

Maybe we can trade him for a AA relief pitcher with no options left.
