Tiger announcers are going thru an entire list of excuses for the Tigers. Mound, blister, hang nail, single ply toilet paper....

Sweep

Are the Royals this good? These teams don’t even look like they are in the same league. 

I don't think they are...but they can probably hang in the division race because they have two elite hitters right now.

The Tigers play suggests that after the whippings the past couple nights, they are ready to GTFO of KC

And they don't play much better at home. Lions first preseason game is in early August...

As Jim Price would say, this team has its daubers down.

This sucks

Bobby Witt Jr. is going to be a pain in the ass for years.

Witt showed you the difference between controlling the strike zone and defending the strike zone.

It must be so disheartening for Skubal to realize that when he goes down by any number of runs, that’s probably the game. 

[RatkoVarda]

closer to last place CWS than the first place Clevelanders - sounds about right

[Tigermojo]

Skubal is allergic to Kaufman stadium.

A hit yay

Warm up the plane, their job is done here.

7th inning. Time to score runs.

[Sports_Freak]

Vest looked good. Hinch better find a different reliever to put in and give up half a dozen runs.

[Tenacious D]

This is so embarrassing and demoralizing.  Tigers are making it extremely difficult to be a fan of this current roster.  I’m the closest I’ve been since 2003 to giving up on a season.  

Thanks Al and Scott!

Can you imagine the hell to pay if Pasquatino would have dropped that pop-up which was in fair territory, and they could have gotten Keith out at second and doubled off Javy at first, because Javy was just standing around the plate instead of even half-heartedly jogging to first?

It didn’t hurt this time, but that should be unacceptable, and I think Hinch should bench Javy for it.

his little hot streak has pretty much petered out. He just swung under a middle middle batting practice change-up, not as bad as not running it out, but close!

They lose in spectacular and embarrassing fashion and are swept by the ****ing Royals.

Pinch hit for Canha please 

[gehringer_2]

Carpenter had some decent pitches to hit, couldn't barrel any up. But he kept the line moving.

[Hongbit]

I’ve been busy today and just took a look at the game and something is wrong with the official box score.  It shows Matt Vierling walking twice and that obviously can’t be right.   He doesn’t have the plate discipline to walk twice in a month let alone one game.   I figure MLB will make the adjustment once they notice the error.  

[Tigermojo]

Canha is now officially worse than Baez in May and both are horrendous.
