Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

[Hammer]

Apparently Drew VerHagen is starting this afternoon’s game, and Fiers is going tonight.

Also tonight is the MLB Draft. The Tigers pick #1. The expected pick is Casey Mize, a pitcher from Auburn. The book on this kid is nice command of his secondary pitches. Big strikeout/walk ratio. Something like 153-12 this year. We’ll see.

Mize signs.

Castellanos goes oppo for a three run shot! 4-1 in the 7th.

And now Victor beats out a dropped third strike. Promptly pinch ran for as that's about all the physical exertion he can handle these days.

Just got home. Completely missed that we were playing this afternoon.

Jimenez in a jam in the 8th.

Well, if he runs much farther, his leg will probably disassemble piece by piece like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon.

Aw, Jesus Christ. Jimenez blew the lead in about 6 batters.

4-4 and Shane Greene is coming in to finish the job.

Sugar Shane gives up the go-ahead run in the 9th for the 2nd straight day.

Pitching coach Chris Bosio fired. Insensitive comments.

We’ll find out what he said soon enough.

8 game losing streak.

36-45 at the halfway point. On pace for a 72-90 season.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to get worse from here. We're without Miggy for the entirety of the 2nd half of the season, and the offense simply has no punch. Candelario is showing that he's still a rookie, and Castellanos is the only one in the order who can consistently produce, and right now there isn't much of a compelling reason to give him anything to hit.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 30-51 finish to come in at 66 wins. That's still one hell of an improvement from what I thought we'd be looking at.

9 game skid.

Bosio says he called Stumpf by his nickname "Spider Monkey" and an employee thought Bosio was talking about him.

I'm pretty sure if there were other people involved in this conversation that would've been cleared up quickly.
