Well, no real question is was time to go get Mize, what we get from Wentz  remains in doubt.

Replacing Mize with Wentz??? Oh boy Hinch and his 3D chess. 

He’s had one really poor outing. Other than that, he’s been fine this season.  I’m more comfortable with Wentz than Lange (who isn’t available anyway).

If this is a season of evaluation, Mize needs the entire duration(innings limit) to figure it out. Tork has been healthy so we have data for evaluation purposes.

Kelly batting fifth today ?

[SoCalTiger]

I guess it worked 😀

I don’t mind this early exit today.  I think they need to be cognizant of his workload the past two seasons coming into this season.  A day off tomorrow, so whatever bullpen arms are available, none of them need to be saved for tomorrow.

3 runs blasts are rare for the Tigers. Errr...home runs are rare for this Tiger team.

Not sure I’d get all chesty about the backup catcher being 0 for 2 as the DH.

I don’t want to see it, but what happens if Rogers gets pulled early and the Tigers lose the DH?  The reward for Kelly’s bat doesn’t offset the risk of starting one of them at DH.

Shut up, dummy.

Yeah, Perez is out, and pretty obviously. Kudos to Benetti and Dirks for calling that out right away. I have no respect for many announcers who ummm and ahhh around the obvious because they’re huge homers or afraid of raising the fans’ ire.

Dan was chuckling that he was obviously out and the ump missed it.

Talk **** on’em all, Joe.  You’ll never see a bigger trash home run celebration.

Also, backup catcher is 1 for 3 with a home run as DH.

A.J. Hinch—super genius! 😁

Torkelson is the only player for either team who has struck out so far.

[casimir]

Anyone else think Schneider’s mustache is an absolute doppelgänger for Brookens’ playing days mustache?

I’ve gone back and forth between the game on DirecTV Extra Innings channel 721, and my OTT box’s MLB.tv app. The Extra Innings channel is showing hardly any commercials at the breaks, instead showing those short Baseball Zen vignettes. MLB.tv is showing the same commercials over and over and over, which I assume the Roku app itself is, too.

[chasfh]

Man, we are just getting dinked and doinked to death here

[AZTigersfan]

Every single pitcher for us has struggled today. Kinda feels like a loss in the making. Hope I’m wrong!

yup, though I thought it would be blown in the 9th and not now.

Those walks are killers. Nobody can shut them down. Only three strike outs all day.

Game over.

[chasfh]

Holy ****ing A.

Are we still agitating for Jason Foley to be handed the closer’s role like we were a day or two ago?

[Sports_Freak]

Burn those uniforms!!
