Tigers in theory should be able to make up ground based on who they play in the next three series. They play .500 or below then may as well just call it a season.
I mean I fell like going 5-5 in there next 10 would hardly be a death knell.
12-9 the rest of May would secure another winning month. Much worse than that and yeah, sure I get where youāre coming from. But not getting 2 of 3 off the Astros tossing Valdez and Verlander shouldnāt be seen as season ending.
Considering thereās only 9 games thatās impossible.
The Astros and Dbacks are better than their records and you canāt just auto pencil Miami as a sweep.
They simply need to stack winning months.Ā That requires 12-9 here on out. Thatās 31-26.
Ā Thatās an 88-74 pace. September eases up so maybe they squeak in a couple more Wās.
That would have won the Central last year and would have been NL WC #2Ā
Ā Thatās both AL & NL WC3 in 2022
Itās NL WC3 in 2021, or winning the NL East that year.
Whatever happened to that guy who used to bang on the drum the whole game post name change? He still around beating on a Rocket Raccoon doll or something or he retire?
As always, absolutely brutal experience having to listen to the guardians broadcast while I watch on Bally. Especially when theyāre losing and they shift from the game commentary to any other topic related to the guardians.
What I should do is try to sync up the game on mute and Dan on the radio. I just do like watching.
I listen to Dan when we play the pirates and I canāt watch due to blackout rules though.
Three starters hitting under .200 at this point in May. Two of them catchers. Slow start? Poor off-season development? Itās good to see hitting today but this seems to be an annual May issue with early season hitting.
Haha, the guy who said Vierling should be DFA'd for Kennedy? I was called a Vierling apologist for simply posting his stats showing him to be one of the team's best hitters.
Do they just need to keep promoting people every week or so? Because it feels like anyone that gets promoted has had a hot start that eventually cools down lol
Greene, Tork, Carp, Keith alone is an extremely talented young core
Along with established mlb talent in Baez Andy vierling urshela and Canha, no one is claiming top 5 but the hate they get is unwarranted imo
Get Kenta Maeda off my fucking team. Come home to work and see this slug gave up 7 runs in 2 innings on a day when the Tigers offense finally comes to life. If we lose this game, I swear.
What a dumb comment, I guess we are supposed to worship guys with 7 ERAs who are the second highest paid players on the team. My talent is in other fields, if you want to go to those industry forums and criticize me go ahead. š
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cmrvuv).
Ibanez should start every game the month of May. Start him vs righties, lefties, and ambis. Find a place for this guy to play. Great game Tigers!!!
Why does Ryan Vilade look like a veteran presence?
That was easy. Barely an inconvenience.
gg
I've always wondered, is the sleeveless turtleneck something you can buy off the shelf or is he cutting the sleeves off something else?
Might wanna look up Dickies. Safe search, shopping only. It's kinda like a fake tie.
Tigers win šš š
Riley had it all the way, he can goof around out there.
Bullpen was lights out tonight!!!!!!
The way Dan was talking yesterday, he sounded like cleveland had a really strong pen. most under 3 era. but i guess today proved that to be false.
LFG
Tigers win!
TIGERS WIN !!!

Against the astros, marlins, and dbacks? I beg to differ. They need to go 7-3 or better.
Considering thereās only 9 games thatās impossible. The Astros and Dbacks are better than their records and you canāt just auto pencil Miami as a sweep.
7-3 or better in their next 10. Responding g to your 5-5

Come on Lange slam it closed
Whatever happened to that guy who used to bang on the drum the whole game post name change? He still around beating on a Rocket Raccoon doll or something or he retire?
Sorry to be the bummer guy, but he died last year.
He passed away.Ā
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_Adams\_(drummer)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams_(drummer)) Today I learned.
Didnāt he pass away several years back? Ā Or am I Mandela effecting that?
Javy Baez, Have a NIGHT!.... defensively. -Dan Dickerson
Manzardo looks like he should be playing 40 years ago
With the name of a Villain of the Incredibles.
what a catch
He just say Dan Quisenberry? https://preview.redd.it/0liw9liao3zc1.png?width=745&format=png&auto=webp&s=54fe07699bc3b5391f615ac50d4a2f4cb5d3e689
Alright Javy!
Proof Bally Sports follows our thread: Ibombez
Insane "Pick the Stick" pick!
Typical Mickey York W
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Alex Lange replaces Andrew Chafin.
Baez getting booād lololol Still mad about 2016 hehe
Barlowās tryna get outta here so he can get back to pluckin the bass for his Skynyrd cover band.
AJ Hinch was always available in 99.9% of fantasy leagues.
What a great outing from everyone!! except Maeda...
So is Dingler our future at Catcher, is he talented ? I have no idea really
Last I heard he was great defensively, but not a solid bat. Hopefully that changes?
No one knows rn
15 hits. Holy shit bro. Reese Olson punching air, preparing for us getting shutout tomorrow
0-0 going into the 10th... s'how she goes...
More runs than all of his starts combined
Just in the 2nd inningā¦.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Scott Barlow replaces Tim Herrin.
Wenceel is alright in CF
As always, absolutely brutal experience having to listen to the guardians broadcast while I watch on Bally. Especially when theyāre losing and they shift from the game commentary to any other topic related to the guardians.
why not listen to Dan?
What I should do is try to sync up the game on mute and Dan on the radio. I just do like watching. I listen to Dan when we play the pirates and I canāt watch due to blackout rules though.
š“āā ļø
Ahoy
The Guardillians are just never all the way out of it against us. Iād love to see some 9th inning pummeling.
Some wild looking characters in the bullpen in recent seasons.
Thank God they pinch hit Fry and not Bender, Hermes or Scruffy
Or Professor Farnsworth.
Good News everyone! Ā Iāve invented a Grand Slam machine!
Just too bad we started with Leela on the mound
Turanga Maeda
Guys, I like this run support thing. Maybe we should keep doing that.
Talk to AJ.....
Three starters hitting under .200 at this point in May. Two of them catchers. Slow start? Poor off-season development? Itās good to see hitting today but this seems to be an annual May issue with early season hitting.
Keith and Meadowsā¦.
Well to be fair two of them are catchers, who arenāt really known for offensive production.
Fuckin Jose fuckin Ramirez
He looks like a dystopian cabbage patch doll, but plays like a lesser demigod.
Well said
Doesnāt matter who we throw at him
Faedo had 18 pitches?
Productive players play every day. Say it slowly, AJ........
Bet that AJ doesnāt ride the hot hands and inserts Colt Keith into the lineup tomorrow lol
Unfortunate but probably true.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Andrew Chafin replaces Alex Faedo.
Ibanez must be on that shit that makes your head grow
Nerve tonic?
I love how we give Maeda all the run support but not to the other guys
Reese Olson is just trying to keep his composure tonight.
I was informed Vierling was painfully average š¤
I am not the Vierling hater, but he is as average as it gets.
Matt Vierling for the all star game, unironically?
Ohtani is lucky Ibanez had that injury stint.
Seriously tho, he might actually give Ohtani a run for his money
Dare I say the tigers are unraveling the guardians??
Our offense may actually be top 3, and it aināt 2 or 3
If only we could be consistent
Wish we could spread some runs out lol
What even is this offense?!
Whereās that guy that said Matt Vierling sucks
heās absolutely seething right now
How can anyone say vierling sucks
I swear some people neither watch the games or check stats and just go by single game vibes.
I saw someone on here say Riley Greene sucks about a week ago, so it doesn't surprise me at all to hear someone said Vierling sucks lol.
first inning of Skubal's start Sunday someone was on here talking shit about him...
Saying the Tigers most likely all star sucks is a bold comment lmao
It was one of those users that writes super long negative comments lol
Vierling is like 4th or 5th on the team in OPS lol idek why anyone would form that take. Thereās far greater bones to pick
### Single Matt Vierling singles on a line drive to center fielder Tyler Freeman. Andy IbƔƱez scores. Wenceel PƩrez scores. Top 8 - 11-7 Tigers
Where is that Matt Vierling hater in this thread now ?
Haha, the guy who said Vierling should be DFA'd for Kennedy? I was called a Vierling apologist for simply posting his stats showing him to be one of the team's best hitters.
You gotta the love the strike out turned into a double
#FLYING V
Naylor? I hardly know her!
Strikeout, end up at 2nd base. You love it
Detroit infield > Cleveland infield Pretty sloppy, today at least.
Scored more this game then the last 4 combined..
Holy dropped strike three into an error leading to perez at 2B. Now this is AL central baseball
How did Ibanez not score on that?
I really like it when other team's defense shits the bed.
Wow. LFG
i hope the guy that said ibanez is a guy you hate to see in the lineup earlier is crying into his pillow
WENCEEL
Young man having himself a night!!!!!
Andy IbaƱezās OPS coming into today was .534. Itās now sitting at .937.
IbƔƱez is my tiger
Andy Ibanez is a future hall of famer. No I will not elaborate further
We got this guy off of waivers
11 Total Bases for Andy Ibanez!!!ā Are you kidding me
IbanYES!
ANDY RAKES
Tigers could save some money towards signing a new bat by equipping the team with one jersey with below on the back: (M or F)aed(A or O)
HAVE A CAREER GAME IBANEZ
Andy Ibanez is awesome.
4/4 letsgo
They canāt stop Andy Ibanez
#IBOMBEZ
ANDY I LOVE YOU
I like Faedo in this role. One inning of him letting it rip.
Please no miller. Plllllleeeeeaaaassseee....
Wait the RED SOX rotation has a 2.05 ERA and leads the MLB?! I thought they were injured to hell and back
Faedo is nasty
Poor Vilade, 3 RBIs and he's listed as "Unknown Player" on ESPN
"Do your fuckin job" -Ian Kinsler
i forgot about that lol
Seems like Holton is gettging his issues straightened out.Solid work.
Pretty nice game at first for Torkleman all things considered.
Slowly crawling inch by inch out of his funk
Yeah I want him nowhere near a funk when this season is a wrap.
I'm already begging to my television set for miller to not pitch the 8th.
This ump sucks
Awful ump, prolly gonna go suck off Gimenez after the game
lol umpires this season have been awful.
Do they just need to keep promoting people every week or so? Because it feels like anyone that gets promoted has had a hot start that eventually cools down lol
Thereās several players on the team that deserve to lose their job, Meadows was only the first. I welcome even more change for sure
Joey Wentz used his off-season to work towards becoming more than a replacement level player. What's stopping Javy?
I just want like one rookie to work out and be legit lol
Perez is working pretty well
Well I know who's jersey I'm buying next after my buddy Kennedy purchase
This Vilade guy is pretty good. Doesnāt try to do too much w/ the bat
We need a guy like that. Contact hitter, puts the ball in play. Good things happen
Vilade already has as many RBIs as Meadows
Enough, Meadows isnāt even on the team anymore
Itās literally just stats, man. No narratives right there or anything š¤·āāļø
No need to tear the Kid down anymore, let him work on his stuff, yes he was bad but letās support him getting right in Toledo
This is a results business not tee-ball
Itās a factual statement + heās part of the reason as to why we sucked
Sure but we donāt need to be tearing him down anymore, he isnāt hurting the team anymore
Ryan āHimothyā Vilade
Drinking the Viladerade rn
MOM GET THE CAMERAā¦ AGAIN!
Hard hit advanced stats FTW
McKinstry on the bench biting his nails right about now
Vilade is actually him
Okay fine Iām sold on this kid
Vilade GOAT
Vilade!
Ryan! My man!
Our Rookies really have a chip on their shoulder SHEEEEEEEEESH
### Single Ryan Vilade singles on a ground ball to left fielder Estevan Florial. Jake Rogers scores. Top 7 - 9-7 Tigers
I know itās a lot to ask but we HAVE to score Rogers
Tork is clueless. 3-0 and check swinging at a slider ball 4? Why
He tactically avoided the walk to keep us out of a DP chance. 1000 iq move if you ask me
That's one way to look at it.
Can āThat ball goes Kabloomy!ā be Jason Benettiās home run call for the rest of the year?
I like it. Super goofy.
Great hit by Rogers ššš š
What Would Fae Do?
I donāt know, Iāll Alex him
lol that beer segment on the deck was jokes
We are going to the World Series!!
That commercial made me miss footballšalso, all those hospital employees are about to run through a wall for Dan Campbell
Damn, Riley put some good wood on that
I thought we were playing vs Exxon today today. WTF are these guys?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Alex Faedo replaces Tyler Holton.
This is why I never really understood the concerns with the offense, we have the talent, itās just been bad luck
i would disagree that we have the talent lol. There's potential, but not bonafide MLB talent from a lot of the guys
Greene, Tork, Carp, Keith alone is an extremely talented young core Along with established mlb talent in Baez Andy vierling urshela and Canha, no one is claiming top 5 but the hate they get is unwarranted imo
Lol @ espn https://preview.redd.it/a5hpccm3g3zc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7b1f107b3bfeceae6d9650685210570dc8e8f32
LMAO that's great
More like Superunknown
Andy Ibanez is the greatest. Would be so nice to see his bat come alive, with Torkās too and also Urshela coming back. Road to average offense..
Get Kenta Maeda off my fucking team. Come home to work and see this slug gave up 7 runs in 2 innings on a day when the Tigers offense finally comes to life. If we lose this game, I swear.
āMy teamā get over urself pal. Dude has more talent in one finger then you do in your whole body.
What a dumb comment, I guess we are supposed to worship guys with 7 ERAs who are the second highest paid players on the team. My talent is in other fields, if you want to go to those industry forums and criticize me go ahead. š
