haha, 2nd 4-homer game for the Tigers this season.

[mtutiger]

More than it looked tbh

[chasfh]

I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed Tiger home runs until this game. 

[chasfh]

Not like this is an actual jinx or anything, but Haase does have the wheels to leg out a triple. 

[Motor City Sonics]

If 2 Tiger Rookies hit back to back home runs in the 9th inning to take a 1-run lead and there is nobody there to hear it does it make a sound?

I saw that and was pretty surprised it was 22/30. Kreidler's was only 20/30.

Well, he’s not gonna leg out a triple on that lol

Although if it had hit the posts on the fence just the right way …

First five-hit game by a Tiger since Niko Goodrum on May 31, 2019

Would it be too much to ask Gregory to put this one away? Too many other good things happened today, would rather remember those lol

I tip my hat to him.  At the end of May I was measuring him up for a pine box.

uggggghhhhh 😒

[chasfh]

It wasn’t easy—it almost never is—but Soto had just enough for the save. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

whew!

I just barely caught that, too. my Roku was so annoyed by the walks that it unceremoniously dropped back to the home screen.

[Jim Cowan]

We'll take it but jeez a closer with a WHIP of 1.37...

[lordstanley]

Win!

 

I wonder when was the last time the Tigers had 3 rookies homer in the same game?

Three HRs by this yr's call-ups.

This is a great game.....honestly one of the coolest Tiger games I've seen in about 10+ years.

Just awesome, finally some demonstratable glimmer of hope about the future.

Probably Rudy York's rookie year

[sabretooth]

After the 2013 ALCS disaster, it was three+ years of The Expendables, four+ years of hard tanking, and two years of a failed rebuild.

At the beginning of this season, I had hopes that the tank-picks in Greene, Tork, and Mize would help make this team decent, along with the Baez/Meadows/Schoop/Candy/ERod veteran axis.  Didn't happen of course...and now a new group of kiddies just might be emerging.....and they are not tank picks either.

Little tiny green shoots in what has seemed like the salted ground of our minor league system....dare we hope for a positive future that is supported by players who did not require $100M or 100 losses to acquire them?

[sabretooth]

Today I declare, I shall hope again.  Come back, Bert, there may be something happening that you will actually want to share with the next generation.

Another couple of games like this and you'll have an entourage

Order mixed up a bit, plus a duplicate, but hard to modify on iPad.
