1776 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Tork is really struggling. Toledo may be in his near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 This is just painful. This is supposed to be a near-playoff ready team. This is the worst, most BORING offense I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I can see them sending Tork down pretty soon................just for a short time. He needs to get into a groove in Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbomb13 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Tork is lost. Hopefully he can get that sorted out at Toledo soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I am watching the Oakland Athletics broadcast. Their color man (Dallas Braden?) says that Torkelson does not look over matched and that the Tigers should keep running him out there until he figures it out. I have no idea how much Braden can be trusted, but it was interesting to hear the opinion of an opposing former player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceDog Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Need to start a contest to guess when Coolbough gets sent packing. Edited May 12, 2022 by RaceDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 so he threw to pretty much exactly the same spot three times in a row to Nuese. That's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKNIGHT Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I’m beginning to realize the Tigers scouting staff wasted first round draft selections on Matt Manning, Casey Mize and Spencer Torkelson. I hope I’m wrong, however this entire roster is currently a disgrace to the game of baseball. Edited May 12, 2022 by UCFKNIGHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Shep with the excellent news that Hinch says that the Tigers have a 'full bullpen'. Pretty pointless when you have no hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched all the games, but when I have seen him he looks like he's close. There are lots of swings and misses, but he is not swinging at many bad pitches. I think he'll get going.

Motor City Sonics Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Tigers will be 9-22. The Reds, you know, the disgrace of baseball, are 7-24. They are about to repeat last year's start and if this was my team, I'd probably fire everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 it's easy to get critical when things are crappy, but what else is there to do: so, ever notice how many little malapropisms Shep commits? They are mostly subtle like misplaced verb/noun/tense agreement or phases that start out going one place and end just slightly somewhere else. Not that big a deal but a little funny in a guy who has spent so many years in radio. You expect that more from the color guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breaking balls he's swinging at are in the zone, but he's out front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
