Dave Christian Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Top of the seventh Tigers behind 3-0. I was hoping for a sweep. Quote
Dave Christian Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Looks like I'm going to get my sweep! Torks 30th is a cherry on top! Edited September 28, 2023 by Dave Christian Quote
lordstanley Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 7 in the 7th! Now that Tork has hit 30 homers, why not try for 100 RBIs. Not totally out of reach, needs 7 in the next 3 games Quote

Tigermojo Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Small sample but Nevin is finally hitting like he did at Toledo. Quote
lordstanley Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Just learned Kaline never had a 30-homer season. He hit 29 in both ‘62 and ‘66 and hit 27 three other times. Neither did Kirk Gibson, his high was 29 in 85. Jim Northrup’s highest was 25 in ‘69 Norm Cash on the other hand did it 5 times Mickey Tettleton did it 3 years in a row between ‘91-‘93 Lance Parrish did it once, with 32 in ‘82. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Great for Spencer. Get some hitters around this guy Carp and Greene and his BA numbers will improve. He's now got a shot at 100 RBI. How about ending this season at 79-83? How awesome would that be?> Quote
Jim Cowan Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Kaline's 29 homers in 1962 were done in 100 games. Quote

Before Granderson, Bobby Higginson was the last home grown Tiger to do it in I believe 00 or 01. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Meadows with good ABs against LH pitching. Lipcius continues to hit for average even at the top level - not so clear the glove or power is enough to keep him here, but he's earning a longer look. Quote
Dan Gilmore Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 I forget about Lipcius. Which is maybe a good thing: there are enough more hyped guys in the pipeline that his level isn’t a big deal. Trade throw-in? Quote

Still, something to be said for a guy that is actually doing it and not just projected to do it. Quote

Tony Clark also hit 30 homers three times, but none of them came when it counted. 2 2 Quote
