Jobe got lit up for 4 in the 3rd inning.

A dropped pop up, and then a routine grounder where they dropped the pitch to second. Ump also screwed him with a terrible call that would've resulted in a strikeout and but instead ended up a walk. Then he he struck the fourth batter out before being pulled.

Flaherty is still the same ass that he's been the last fee years, so thats nice

[Toddwert]

wow 5-0 A's in the 2nd

[theroundsquare]

well, this one's over

[AZTigersfan]

Wow 5 runs seems like 50 right now. The mighty Oakland A’s smh 

[Tigerbomb13]

Flaherty throwing BP

[holygoat]

Oh no! We suck again!

[Dtrain72]

Whelp, I'm out, Tigers finding their water lavel after the 5-2 start, good luck folks...maybe the "bats will heat up when it gwts warm", and Harris will realize that signing an obvious gascan like Flaherty wasnt the best idea.  #unmitigatedass

Flaherty's fastball is getting hammered.

Carpenter needed to cash that run in the first. The guy couldn't throw a strike and Carpenter swings at the first pitch.

We’re getting in from a walk and I see this…UGLY!
 

[Tigermojo]

It might help the offense if the guy with a .394 OBP was leading off instead of batting fifth or sixth.

[AZTigersfan]

Wow somebody tells these guys they’re play the A’s and a guy who came into the day with an over 20 era. Smh

This season is about trying to figure out if the 'young core' is good. If they win 84 games, that would be a nice bonus. They could have improved the offense with small moves but chose to roll with this. It's about the young players figuring it our leveling off to what they are. Every game is a data point.

[Tigerbomb13]

Unwatchable 

[1776]

Gas Can Jack.

[Tigermojo]

Good job by Keith on defense.

[RatkoVarda]

will take them 50+ innings to score 7 runs, so this one is in the books

[Tigermojo]

Canha takes a called strike six inches off the plate and Benetti says "That's in Windsor."

[Tigerbomb13]

Cy Boyle

[AZTigersfan]

At this point I just hope we score, losing two straight to the A’s is bad but being shutout back to back would be tough to take.

The ump disaster has become as much a part of the game as the 7th inning stretch.   Every game there are multiple missed calls and it’s just become accepted by the powers that be at MLB.

Yeah, the Flaherty piece is way less concerning that this... just cannot do it.

[gehringer_2]

Torkelson has been a total disappointment far, not so much even the results but that he is doing exactly the opposite of what he needed to do this season, which was become a better hitter - higher OBP, a tougher out with men on base. Instead he has gone completely the other way, swinging out of his shoes, pulling everything, making a ton of outs. The sell out for the long ball may get him 30HR in the end but he'll just turn himself into Rob Deer with a buzz cut.

[kdog]

We are back to games where just avoiding the shutout is the goal..not great.
