Just brutal defense this inning... damn

[clark1mt]

It would appear the Tigers have turned back into pumpkins this afternoon.

[casimir]

Going to have to send Faedo back down and pull up another reliever for Cleveland the way the bullpen is going to be used today.

[kdog]

Also when your starters can’t routinely pitch past the 5th inning, sometimes this happens.

The Tigers team defense has been very good overall and bad today unfortunately.

Ass of unmitigation

They have 3 off days in the next 10 days. They probably only need 4 starters for a bit.

Even if the Cardinals end up winning, that organization is still a hot mess.

86 million over 5 years. Wonder what expectation they had.

[chasfh]

TORK! lack of range hurting, too.

And now Maton with yet another error?!

[Dtrain72]

Ok, Maton can **** off to Toledo now

This happens sometimes to every team in baseball fwiw. Except for maybe the Rays

[casimir]

This inning tastes like rotten flan.

[clark1mt]

It will be fun for the official scorer to determine which runs in this inning should be earned.

Tastes like being trapped in an elevator full of cabbage farts.

[mtutiger]

And Jake joins the error party...

[Dtrain72]

Whelp, thats it for me...gratz Tigers, almost went 6 straight games before you made me turn it off, so thats nice.

Wow, were they mentally on the plane to Cleveland after the Rogers grand slam?

[Klondike]

The Tiger's minor Leagueness has reared its ugly head today.

[Tigermojo]

4 errors by the left side of the infield sheesh!

Sure looked that way.

[casimir]

Well, I guess if short start pitching outings and bad bullpen outings and bad defensive outings are going to happen, condense them together into as few games as possible rather than spreading the love out to multiple games?

Today is a reminder that, even if they may be a little better than some thought, this team still has a ways to go to being good...

With that in mind, they just need to use that inning as a learning moment and just build off of it to make sure it doesn't happen again

Tork probably should have had one, too, dropping the foul ball hit over his head.

[Tigermojo]

5 unearned runs....

Yeah - Tork is capable of making that play, but OTOH, I don't think many scorers would charge an error on any catch attempt made with the fielder running with his back to the field. Those are beyond 'ordinary effort' almost by definition.
