Jim Cowan Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 That was a '68 Tigers win through and through...a come-from-behind 2 run homer in the bottom of the eighth to win 3-2. It seemed like the '68 team did that twice a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfan6884 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Often by an unlikely source (see Tommy Matchick, Dick Tracewski, etc.). Good see the pitching continue to hold on while the bats try to heat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta hang in there a little longer There's a lot of reason for skepticism on the pitching side, particularly with the starters, as to whether they can hold up for another month. But the path is there, particularly if they can get their act together offensively. Schoop and Tork playing better is a positive sign on that front, along with Meadows and Greene maybe joining the fray soon. The fact that they lost 4 of 5 to Oakland at home really stings right now... if they won 3 of 5, they'd only be six back. And perceptions of their situation would likely be much different.

I hope Hinch doesn't lose sight of that. Harold's bat is a pleasant surprise, but I still don't want to see much of him at SS, a nice play today notwithstanding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ would be making a baller move to bench Baez until he demonstrates some plate discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baez is striking out at the 2nd lowest rate of his career. His biggest problem isn't that he is swinging at more pitches than usual, it's that's he not hitting them hard.

sabretooth Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Since starting 10-23, they have gone 11-7, a 99 win pace.... ....if they keep up this pace, they would finish with 89 wins.... ....and this 11-7 stretch has been with like a dozen players injured. I think right now the over/under is about 80 wins. If they get really healthy and stay there, I think it goes up to 85 wins. If they continue to get hammered by injuries, the over/under could be more like 70, or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Taking 4 of 5 games against the best team in the division is really cool even if it is at home. I wouldn’t want to read too much into it. But it’s something to savor. Maybe even our guys will be able to reach the fences at Death Star Stadium in the Bronx, dead ball or not.

Motor City Sonics Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I can see it now.............Friday June 10th Tigers hosting Toronto H Castro, rf - Keep him in until he cools off Meadows, lf - Here comes the power ! Schoop, 2b - He finally came out of the coma Cabrera, dh - It's like an obligation at this point Baez, ss - As some point hitting gets contagious, right? Torkelson, 1b - He'll be up to .220 by then Greene, cf - Major League Debut ! Candelario, 3b - If he gonna hit like an 8, he's gonna hit 8 Barnhart, c - Don't care about his hitting. Willi, Reyes, Haase and Hill on the bench At this point I don't really care if Grossman comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Jameson Taillon of the Yankees had a perfecto going through 7 but just gave up 2 hits and a run in the 8th. Yankees trail 1-0, which means they probably will score a billion runs tomorrow against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
