I believe so

Friday or Saturday night, right?  Seems like a loooong time ago, 😖

[mtutiger]

Good Lord Gibby... that ain't gonna happen

[romad1]

Wasting home stands without winning games.   The 8-12 start looms more than a 12-8 start.   These games count as much as the July ones. 

[Tigeraholic1]

Does Miggy play tomorrow?

[1776]

Ballgame.

[kdog]

9 singles, 2 doubles, multiple baserunning mistakes and a few defensive blunders. The 2022 tigers.

[mtutiger]

I really hope Barnhart gets at least tomorrow off....

[Motor City Sonics]

That was a shit performance by the Tigers.   The Yankees didn't beat them, they beat themselves. 

Clean up this mess, and quick.........because this looked like the 9-24 team from last year.  Unacceptable.

Absolutely.  He'll play every game of the homestand until he gets it............THEN he'll get a day off. 

Can you imagine fans buying a ticket and then he's not in the lineup? 

[1776]

This team just doesn’t seem to exhibit any urgency and aren’t mentally in the game at the worst times. I was hoping this spring would be a step forward. It ain’t happening yet.

The same can be said for last night as well.

Cabrera will be in tomorrow.

[BBFCFM]

Miguel Cabrera will be in lineup tomorrow, AJ Hinch confirms.

“Get here early. He might hit in the first,” Hinch said.

didn't he say that the night he hit 499 then change his mind by the next morning? But maybe that was a road game he held him out of, I don't remember...

It was a road game, 95+ degrees in Baltimore after a late night late in the season 

He'll be playing him this time... much different circumstances. Not to mention that Cabrera may be their best hitter at the moment

Goodbye Daz, we hardly knew ye.

I think it only changes as the roster changes. You have guys that don't have good compete awareness, as long you play them your team won't. Jimenez is 6yr vet - if he doesn't have the awareness to hold a runner in a close game today, he simply never will, so the team's compete level doesn't take a step up until a guy like that is gone. Sure, there are guys with so much talent you may have to live with the loose screws, but the Tigers in question don't have that kind of talent....

I remember when Schoop signed that extension many folks including myself thought the Tigers got a solid deal and that Schoop probably could've gotten more if he waited till the offseason but he is showing that he knew what he was doing.  He's in the .600s OPS wise since the extension and I'd imagine below replacement level. If he never signed that extension there's a good chance he's being used at best as a utility guy on a 1 year deal on somebody's bench. 

[mtutiger]

Love him...

Way to run yourselves out of a potentially big inning, guys. We could have bases loaded and no outs with one run in right now. 

I like aggressive running, but Cabrera/Santiago should have read that ball better.  Stanton had a relatively easy angle to field and throw.  Maybe Santiago had the stop sign up, we've seen Cabrera run through that before.

The Reyes SB attempt by itself probably isn't that bad, but following up Cabrera's failed attempt for 3B probably wasn't the time.  Then again, the team is struggling for runs, so ....

Erod looks good.

He wasn't good early.  At one point it was 26 strikes and 24 balls thrown.  Not a good thing from the ace the day after a bullpen game.
