C'mon, Tigers, I'm dumb enough to watch a game starting at 4 ET (10 my time) on a weekday, but 5 (11) I can't do...!

Just saw this:

Due to forecasted inclement weather in the area tomorrow afternoon, the scheduled start time for Wednesday’s Tigers vs. Rays series finale at Comerica Park has been adjusted from 1:10pm to 5:10pm.

You beat me to it. It is supposed to rain most of the day over here. It's pouring where I am at right now.

The rain could now do the funniest thing and arrive four hours late.

CONN CHRIS · 07-10-2025, 11:55 AM

It's Skubal Day!

CONN CHRIS · 07-12-2025, 07:31 AM

Well, I hope that is out of the system. Jake Rogers on the mound!

Westheim · 07-12-2025, 01:05 PM

Ugh, the one time the Tigers and Mets line up nicely on the Saturday schedule, you guys let the rain in!

CONN CHRIS · 07-14-2025, 12:42 PM

Well, that win number 60 is apparently a tough cookie to crack.

Westheim · 07-14-2025, 12:58 PM

Struggling to win #60 in July > struggling to win #60 in September.

Umpires look like they are still hung over from the All-Star break... Riley Greene makes a sliding catch that not even replay overturns and the very next play the umpire blows a blatant tag attempt/baserunner running out of the basepath... not to mention we already had to use the challenge to overturn a base stealing attempt that was obviously out... damn I can't wait for everything to be handled by AI

And all before the 3rd inning is completed.

CONN CHRIS · 07-19-2025, 06:44 AM

That and the strike zone was all over the place throughout the game.

All that said, the problem is that it has become abundantly clear to me that you cannot, in fact, throw a change-up all season long and get away with it.

DamPenguin · 07-19-2025, 09:43 AM

5 game losing streak... I knew it would eventually happen but damn, it's just no fun at all.

CONN CHRIS · 07-20-2025, 07:13 AM

6! This offensive outage is rough to watch.

Hard to believe they could drop 6 straight and still be 11 up on the division and tied for the best MLB overall record.

Amazin69 · 07-20-2025, 08:32 AM

Dodgers have gone 2-8 of late.
Mets are on a 10-20 run.

It's a long season for a reason. Chin up, Den!

CONN CHRIS · 07-21-2025, 05:09 AM

Whew, almost wasted a Skubal outing. Offense, where are you!?

With the way the bullpen has been going I would have rolled the dice with Skubal for one more hitter rather than going to a reliever. I with a runner on third those curveballs that spike 5 feet in front of the plate always have a chance of getting away. Skubal doesn't throw anything like that. Even if the runner was on second I would have felt better about Tyler coming in there. With a guy on third though, I’m letting the ace get out of his own situation.

The offense, like you mentioned is going through it. They don’t seem to be as patient as they were a month ago at the plate. That may be me just looking for a reason though. I have nothing to back that up.

CONN CHRIS · 07-21-2025, 09:11 AM

I agree - was not happy with the decision to pull Skubal.

CONN CHRIS · 07-22-2025, 06:09 AM

Three runs over four games. Need Carpenter back from the IL and Suarez looks better by the day.

Hrycaj · 07-22-2025, 08:09 AM

Really interested in how the deadline goes for the Tigers.

CONN CHRIS · 07-22-2025, 08:39 PM

A lifetime of frustration and futility have left me prepared and comfortable with the darkness settling in around me.

Hrycaj · 07-23-2025, 02:05 PM

I don't know where the plate approaches on this team went. Everyone seems like they are pressing and swinging at the pitchers pitch. Very frustrating to watch. Feels like we just were hit with a bucket of ice water.
