Hinch needs to stop handing out slices of oranges when the guys come in off the field

And giving away outs. You only get 27. /s

It looks like the WSox game plan is to make Tigers SP throw a lot of pitches and beat on our BP. Not a bad idea.

Hinch is a “go along to get along” guy.

Sox are simply the better team all around, especially lineup-wise, and short of an opening day miracle, this is prob how it's going to look all season agaisnt them.

No, I don't accept that and neither should the Tigers.

Gibson has an excuse for every single play. I wonder if he has a list to read after any play the Tigers attempt.

This top four sure is lethal

Skubal has 5 more batters, I wouldn't let him see the top of the order again

He’ll need a lot of excuses at this rate.

[Sports_Freak]

Skubal at 62 pitches to get thru the 3rd inning. Not a recipe for success.

Okay starting pitchers, you're supposed to be a strength.   This is ridiculous.

Obviously this is bad but I'm not worried the first few times through the rotation

Sure, it's not easy to accept, but there's a reason Sox are considered one of the AL favs to win the div and make a deep playoff run, and they also arguably have two viable mvp type players in Anderson and Robert at the top of their lineup...not to mention Cease who is basically a guaranteed W pitcher against this team.  Tigers just aren't there yet.  I'm not gonna over react or under react to this series, but color me shocked if Chisox dont win at least 2/3 of their games against our Tigs.  Luckily, there's and extra wild card this season, and imo, when it's all said and done, we'll at least be in the fight for it come Sept...but no way in hell are we taking the div from the Sox this season.

The White Sox are a collection of pimps and thieves with a drunk driving dirty old man in charge.

Lol, indeed, doesnt change the fact that as it stands, they are the best team in the central coming into the season, which appears to be correct so far🤷‍♂️

Was that the Rook's firs MLB inning?    Looked pretty good.

I don't know what prompted your post, but his handling of the Astros situation was not good.  He seems like a bright guy who really understands the modern game though.  I don't think he is the miracle worker some fans say he is, but I'm happy to have him managing the team.  It will all come down to player performance as it always does.

Tork still needs a hit?

Strike zone the size of Montana against torkelson

Homeplate ump's a have been in mid season form this series...too many called strikes on balls clearly out of the zone.  I'm 110% ready for the robot strike zone.

[SoCalTiger]

I think this is the third game of the year. We have a good team that will contend all season. And one of the better managers. I'm staying all in.

[SoCalTiger]

Didn't we get Elvis for J-up ?

[Motor City Sonics]

It isn't just this series, there have been a lot of complaints about umpire strike zones so far this year...............I want to see some evidence, but it seems the umpires are making the case for robot umps pretty quickly.
