Manning doesn’t look sharp. Even his 1-2-3 1st had hard contact.

Manning is getting tattooed here....

Another lead off walk in another run

On TV is synched up almost perfectly now. Better than past years. 

I remember On TV! Channel 20, right?

😉

Yeah, for some inexplicable reason, the syncing last year between radio overlay and the video was perfect for road games, but the overlay was a split second before the video for home games and you could hear the crack of the bat before seeing it. I think they pretty much fixed that now.

Leaving way too much on the plate with Manoah right now

[casimir]

The Tigers are really working Manoah over, although Manoah is allowing it by not being sharp.  Kind of a shame they only have 3 runs to show for it so far.  But they’re going to get into the Toronto bullpen soon.  I love digging into the opposing bullpen early in game one of a series.

[casimir]

Ok, quick inning there to keep the pitch count in check for Manning.

Let’s see if the hitters can get a RP in this half inning.

[kdog]

That was a barrel...but only a solo homer:

 

[kdog]

Carpenter has been snakebit...has two huge barrels and 400 footers.

[Dtrain72]

I think we all knew how this was gonna turn out...only a matter of time...especially with the offense probably already blowing their load early.

[kdog]

2 balls over 105 MPH; 400 feet each. Jays now lead.

[Jim Cowan]

Nice to get the KO on Manoah.

[Dtrain72]

Manning throwing BP in the 5th

[casimir]

The lead was fun while it lasted.

[kdog]

Manning gave them 6 functional innings. Offense has not cashed in when given chances.

[kdog]

Riley Greene has struck out on more than 1/3 of his plate appearances.

[Motor City Sonics]

Englert - first pitch goes bye bye.   Ugh. 

[Tigerbomb13]

Does this team win 50 games this year?

[buddha]

holy cow.  javy baez got a walk?  

miracles.

[kdog]

Tigers had 3 baserunners after the 4th; The Jays hit 4 solo home runs.

[chasfh]

Looks like High-A Mason Englert showed up tonight.

It would be 9-0 except for a single hit.

I’m out.

[Tigerbomb13]

Englert…is not good.

[Motor City Sonics]

It was 5-3, I went to the bathroom..............WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?     And it was only urination, it didn't take that long.     Kind of cruel leaving him out there to suffer.

Tiger baseball happened

[Motor City Sonics]

The way I feel about the way things are going, I am expecting to hear that in Manning's last inning he started feeling pain in his arm and he'll be getting TJ before June.   That's just how it is with this team. 

 

And to answer your question Tigerbomb,  I don't know if they do break 50.      But they already fired everyone, so who do you blame now?  Chris Illitch for not realizing Al Avila was a bust 2 years earlier?     It's 1989-2005 all over again and on that time line we are in about 1996,  we are in for a very long, painful slog here.
