Candy is on point today.  

As Jim Leyland would say, his fielding is in the castle, but his bat is in the out house.

Vest looks great.  

[BBFCFM]

Oops.  Jinxed him 😬

Hanger City, Baby

So, anybody on the offense want to step up? 2 runs a game ain't gonna cut it every night

[BBFCFM]

No doubt.  We need to Dee an explosion.  This offense has been anemic.

Any sort of production from Candy or Schoop would be neat.

[mtutiger]

Nice swing by Grossman... I'm less concerned about him now anyway

[Dtrain72]

Yep, Meadows - Baez > Schoop - Candy at the 2 and 3 spot...brutal.

Robbie's had a good game at the plate for sure...that little break appears to have done him some good.  Too bad the 2 and 3 hitters are the equivalent of a fart in an elevator.

Jason Beck:

 

According to Statcast, Robbie Grossman's 385-foot drive to RF would've been a home run in 28 of 30 ballparks, including Comerica Park. Kauffman Stadium is one of the other two. Tigers down 3-1 at 7th inning stretch.

Eric Haase vs Scott Barlow
#DetroitRoots 

Double 🏃💨

Exit velo: 105.8 mph
Launch angle: 21 deg
Proj. distance: 413 ft

This would have been a home run in 15/30 MLB ballparks

DET (1) @ KC (3)
🔺 8th

Baddoo on deck...would rather see Garneu stay in there today tbh.

Ambidextrous pitchers.  The Tigers better start looking into them.

I was thinking bionic arms. A whole bionic body cost $6 million, how much could one arm cost

[Dtrain72]

Akil didnt have a chance against this guy before he even stepped in the box...not a great decision AJ, oh well, dogshit offense with 7 hits in two games is dogshit🤷‍♂️

[mtutiger]

They really did waste a lot of good pitching under not the greatest of circumstances today. It's a shame really 

[BBFCFM]

It is a shame.  Hutchison really delivered today.  

[Dave Christian]

And here I thought that we could sweep the series.

Need some extreme lineup measures...

It's time to move Tork up to the cleanup spot.

Until Baez heals, we have a hole in the 3-spot. We're stuck with Candy in the 3 spot until then I think. But I also think that Candy can be a pretty decent hitter and putting Tork behind him might help get him back on track. Just a guess...

But in the 1-2 spot I'm looking at righty-lefty splits.

That means against RH'ers it's Baddoo-Meadows, then Candy, Tork, Miggy? then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Barnhart, Grossman (or Reyes?), Schoop (against righties) for 6-9. 

Against LH'ers it's Reyes, Grossman, then Candy, Tork, Miggy, Schoop, then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Haase (or Garneau?), Grossman (or Cameron? or Meadows? or Baddoo in the 9th spot?) for 7-9.

I can't wait for both Baez and Greene to be back in this lineup.

They signed Mike Pelfrey for around that.  I’m not sure that’s what the kids call a “ringing endorsement” these days.

[casimir]

You know, considering the combination of injuries and poor offense, 4-5 ain’t too bad.

Who's getting hurt tomorrow?
