[Dtrain72]

This just in, Wentz is unmitigated ass who shouldnt be in the bigs, more at 11

[AZTigersfan]

Wentz’s “cutter” has absolutely zero movement. Just and 85 mph straight pitch that the twins are absolutely crushing.

Please don’t send Wentz back out there. Send him down DFA, I don’t care. It’s just too hard to watch any more of him this year.

Yes it has to be demoralizing for the other players when they know he is going to be pitching.

[AZTigersfan]

Sheesh Jake, what was that?!?

[Jim Cowan]

On the other hand, players on the other team get stoked when  they see him.

did this Vierling at 3rd silliness come from Harris? hard to see why Hinch would try to force it mid-season

Expand  

Well he plays solid RF and actually has a right fielders arm so you know we can't allow that.

[AZTigersfan]

Brieske should take Wentz’s spot in the rotation. Unless Turnbull ever comes back. Then he can have it I suppose

It demoralizes them so much they decide not to score any runs.

[Adullin]

The tigers season seems to be winding down. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Why is Wentz back here?       They have nobody who is better?   Really?  

[AZTigersfan]

This is going to be another shutout isn’t it?

Either don't want to bring up a young guy who isn't ready or they are so pathetic they are manipulating service time.

Is service time still a thing? I heard there was a change?

[AZTigersfan]

Why want Brieske in the rotation instead of Wentz? He’s been a starter before and at the very least he’ll give you competitive innings. 3D chess backfiring on Hinch again?

I kind of get both, but when you put guys out there who clearly aren't goin to get it done, I think you send a message that it's okay to lose.     It's not.    Have a bullpen day.  Do something other than this thing which really hasn't worked all year.   This team's management can be infuriating sometimes.

Consider me on the questioning AJ, and even Harris (I know, it may be wayyy too early and unfair, but bruh, bring up a f*cking bat already), train.

It probably has changed but the Tigers are usually the last to know about anything new going on in the league.

[AZTigersfan]

Ugh That might have been our only chance to score tonight.

Wait...isn't Nick Maton on the roster?  What else do you need?

Brieske at least throws a hard FB with decent spin, which is a better fail safe than the weak sauce FBs Wentz and Manning have been featuring.

Going to my first game at Comerica since 2019 tonight. Anyone else?

Waited 75 minutes on the Canadian side of the Bluewater Bridge without even reaching the tollbooth, let alone customs, so decided to ditch the game and turned around and went home. Best decision of my week!

[Dan Gilmore]

Ask not for whom the toll bails, you bails for the Tigers.

They broke ground on the Howe over 5 years ago, it's still not halfway across the river.

[casimir]

On the bright side, Short is turning into the 2nd best two way player in MLB.
