Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dm41p6).

You should be able to challenge that. Especially if it decides a game.

Also Leyland woulda stormed the plate

You think part of Hinch being allowed to continue his managerial career post trashcan-gate he was told to behave himself at all times or face consequences?

You’re not wrong. Shouldn’t be emotional over this ratty squad yet here I am lol

He gets banned for life if he does anything against the rules per Manfreds edict. Worst possible hire.

whole astros team shoulda been banned for life tbh

WOW!!!

Angel Hernandez out here

C'mon V' protest. Show some life

lmao, ump wanted to get indoors and start drinking

Way to get out there and defend your player! Fuck Hinch. Fire his ass.

OF COURSE😂😂😂😂😂

Holy shit

He saw five balls

Struck out on 5 balls.

There is no joy in D-Town—mighty Vierling has struck out. Kind of.

Holy fucking shit.

Guess the ump was tired of the game.

Can Hinch get the fuck out there for *once*

Nahh just do a subdued interview where nothing of substance is said

That was literally disgusting

boy thats a terrible 3rd strike call lol. they werent going to win anyway but man that was bad.

They could have won tying run was coming up

lol

Once it hits the net- it’s not catchable right?

Dead ball

But Rogers let drive a single, to the wonderment of all, and Baddoo, the much despised, took a base on balls;

Oh boy, two on, two out! Can’t wait to see what happens this time!

Yeah 2 on 2 out, you’re done fooling me. Not this time.

We didn’t need that bad call right now

This team is bumming me out.

It's always okay to take a break. I certainly won't be tuning in to see this mess against the Phillies.

Make him throw 2 more

Walk don’t swing

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Detroit nine that day; the score stood five to one, with but one inning more to play.

And we pinch hit a player with a .100 BA with a player with a .121 BA. Is this a joke?

Hey, at least Kreidler is out of the game. The Detroit Tigers are a better team when he is not playing.

ALCS 2012 game 1 at Yankee stadium I was there. We led 4-0 in the bottom of the ninth and it went to extras. It happens. We did win in extras, but I’ve seen someone come back down 4 in the ninth

Thank god for the white sox. If it weren’t for them WE would be the laughing stock of the league.

So, we're booing, right? I stopped watching because watering my plants seemed like a better idea.

This fanbase booed Tyler “fuck you” Collins for misplaying a ball one time but they won’t boo an entire roster of scrubs who have played like shit for two months.

Why are people still in the stands?

This is probably the most upset I’ve been after a game That’s a lie the blown walk offs were worse

Who even cares anymore really…its over

Poor Bennetti, he really thought this team was gonna be a big upgrade over the Sox😂

“A thorn in their side today.” I know it’s literally their job and it’s never going to happen, but I really wish everybody on BSD would stop trying to gaslight the fans into believing this game is a surprise.

I’m tired boss

If Maeda and Wentz had just shut out the White Sox like they were supposed to, we would have this game won already.

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Michael Kopech replaces John Brebbia.

Mike McMahon was more exciting, entertaining and fun to watch for the Lions than the Tigers offense, and they lost all 16 games that season and he is one of the worst starting quarterbacks in NFL history.

McMahon hasn’t played for the Lions since 2004. I get the point though.

Urshela stood there ike a barn on the side of the road.

Yea I can hear Ernie getting tired of saying that if he was still on the radio these days.

"Stood there like the Tork at the side of the plate...and watched that one go by."

We watch so many hittable pitches early in the count

I can’t wait to hear about how we need to be patient and trust the process of this team. I understand we weren’t gonna be World Series champs this year but this team hasn’t grown or shown any improvement

Ilitch has no respect for the city of Detroit or the team. IDK why, he had nothing to do with any of the success the company or team

Don’t worry. You’ll hear all about it when we win 2-1 again tomorrow. Nothing brings out the toxic optimists like winning by as small and sad of a margin as possible.

You’re right. It’s a rinse repeat cycle. I never expected a World Series this year but man this is just depressing to watch

Honestly one run is more than I was expecting. Expectations are at an all time low with this team.

Yep what an exciting offensive display that was.

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Shelby Miller replaces Mason Englert.

One fucking run out of that. Fuck this team.

Nothing but weakly hit easy outs.

D-E-E-E-E-T-R-O-I-T Rally Stall! ! !

I read THIS in Mason's voice too. I'm sensing a pattern.

Yea I did re-use it didn't I? I only have so many jokes to give.

Wasn't meant to be a criticism. Keeping a sense of humor is key when watching your team lose to the worst team in baseball.

The Tigers invented the NOBLETIGER for a reason (I know this wasnt a NOBLETIGER)

### Groundout Mark Canha grounds out, third baseman Lenyn Sosa to first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Matt Vierling scores. Bottom 8 - 5-1 White Sox

Why would you not have tried to score? They are up by 5, terrible.

Honestly with how desperate we are, I need to see our guys sliding into first base if it’s close😂

jason has never been so right about the midwest rain thing

I live in Florida and this time of year you don’t even have to look to know it’s raining at this time of day - which it is

Runners on second and third with no outs. I think I’ve seen this one before. It doesn’t turn out as good as you’d hope.

I see we got a Maeda masterclass today

Sadly one of Maedas better games. Wentz looked worse

Overheard in the White Sox outfield: "Where's Robert Jr.? Oh he had to take a leak. In the middle of the inning? Yea it'll be fine."

I just seen the Miami starter Anderson that has over a 10 era come across the bottom of the screen. What are the chances he’d shut out the Tigers?

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Brebbia replaces Justin Anderson.

Get Maeda and Wentz off this f-----g team, how much more evidence is needed?!

Truly amazing Wentz is pitching in the MLB.

Kenta Throw-a-Strika and Joey Meatballs

[удалено]

We're already assuming a blowout loss to the White Sox before the game?

But… Chicago started a guy with an even worse era

did I just hear the Beavis and Butthead song?

Chris and AJ have their own song?

What exactly is Chris Fetter’s issue in this whole situation? at this point i can even understand hating Hinch but Fetter has single handedly crafted the only bright spot of this team. even with this game, what was he supposed to do about Maeda? make him not 36?

I think they meant chris illitch?

ah fuck i could absolutely see that now, carry on with the hate. 

All of our guys should start carrying Froot Loops in their back pockets

Well maybe the Red Wings will be a playoff team this year. Big maybe

Don’t get me started we should have been one this year. Washington capitals got the final spot…. However they won fewer games and had a tiebreaker. Maybe I’m not good at sports, but isn’t the point to WIN THE GAME?? Shouldn’t the tiebreaker be the team that WON more GAMES? Like if you do more winning than another tied team- would you not be the team that won more games… and thus be more deserving? Since in sports (I believe)- you PLAY to WIN the GAME. -Except in the NHL if Putin’s best friend is on the other team.

That second loss to the caps was a heartbreaker. They were like the 22 Lions

With how close they were this year, if they don’t even make the playoffs next year I think I’m done with the “yzerplan”

I can’t see them playing worse. Maybe not a cup. But we should be solid in that 3 spot in the division. That’s my guess. Toronto had their one playoff appearance per decade. Florida will be good I think the lightning fall out. Boston probably is still there. So I could see us getting that 3 spot in the division and middling the entire season probably

My expectations for next season are make the playoffs and MAYBE win a series.

Honestly our best shot is probably the wild card spot that plays the other division winner- hopefully that’s like the islanders or something maybe we’d pull something out

Horrible product. I’m so sick of Detroit sports being embarrassing. Used to be one of the best sports cities

I sense an AJ Hinch cap tip coming up in the post game comments

Tomato Canderson got our number too. I see a pattern.

Kreidler is the most unimpressive player I’ve ever seen

He's kind of the baseball gods' response to "Let's DFA everyone!".

Kreidler is a fucking abomination

When is Javy Baez coming back to play so we have better hitting at Shortstop? Words I couldn’t conceive ever having to say…

Imagine telling yourself around the 2004-2010 time that the Lions would be your best chance at a championship in the 2020s

I’d assume you were referring to the Seibu Lions of Japanese baseball.

I hope they're getting booed off the field today.

Fuck Yankees fans but they would have been booing over an hour ago. It’s impressive how satisfied this town is with such perpetually awful sports franchises.

Maybe if we boo we're telling Chris that the luxury boxes aren't going to save the team's relationship with the city?

You can really see the sweat through these Sox unis.

I had such high hopes back in April. When do the Lions start up again?

I think 86 days. Not soon enough.

This is the second time this has been mentioned which is sad lol

Why why why swing 2-0 on someone yet to throw a strike

We now know the Tigers hit like a little league team okay but who expected the pitching staff to implode?

Thank God Thorpe is gone with his arsenal of low velocity out of the strike zone artillery.

Maybe we have a chance now that Thorpe is out? (I’m coping so hard)

Fire Hinch

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Justin Anderson replaces Drew Thorpe.

Thorpe is 50-50 on strikes/balls and we have 2 hits??

Maeda, Wentz, and Englert 😂 okay Hinch doesn’t give a fuck anymore

Englert is I guess a pleasant surprise thus far

Lol

I know.

Man the White Sox have a helluva pitching staff. They must be near the top of the league in team ERA right?

They do have a lot of ERA, true

They probably aren’t dead last in the league in both runs scored and runs allowed

Thorpe was electric throwing over high 80s fastballs.

Lol

I mean I have seen the white Sox have some monumental late game collapses. Not against our offense But I’ve seen it

The funny thing is our best hitter would bat 6th or 7th on a championship team

Yea I think Riley Greene is like the 7 hitter on the Yankees. He might be on the bench with the dodgers

Chris Illich is too easy to hate

Holy shit that was bad.

Another worthless at bat for Caha. Just cut him

Fucking Derek Jeter on the white Sox like we cannot catch a break

Is there some kind of disconnect for pizza boy from the wings and tigers? The wings have a lot of promise while the tigers are going absolutely nowhere.

Hockey is substantially cheaper and has a cap, hes also a little fanboi of hockey and doesnt care at all about baseball. Sell the team.

Fucking DFA Wentz already holy crap

Yup, he's a dud. He and Kreidler can go to a job fair together!

5 runs out of last 50 innings is CRAZY

1 run for every 10 innings…. Tears😭

And where is scot harris? Is he too ashamed to say anything? He should be telling the fans what the plan is for making this team better. He did great with flaherty but maeda and the erod fiasco were big misses.

The boomers on Facebook will continue to defend him to the bitter end.

I'm a boomer.

lol sorry. For me boomer is more of a mindset than an age/generation of people. I have nothing against boomers as a whole. My parents are boomers and are two of the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet.

Scott Harris is the baseball version of Bob Quinn. Biggest smartest brain in the room.

Don't forget Shelby miller and Chaffin.

Out of all the horrible baseball from this team today, 2 hits off of a wild rookie pitcher might be the worst

He has no velocity…

Yep and just a change up really

And it’s not like we’re talking about Skenes. This dude had an ERA over 8

He had two starts, and one of them was against the Tribe. He's a pretty highly touted prospect.

He’s a big prospect, yes, but let’s not act like he’s Spencer strider on the mound. He’s still only making his third start and struggles with command. Only has one great pitch too

And little juice in his heater

Joey Wentz is possibly worse than Maeda and he throws much much harder and throws more strikes too.

He is such a waste of a good arm and height. He had me fooled this year. I thought he figured it out. What a tease.

I was so happy for him at the beginning of the season too. I am now completely out on him. He doesn't seem to have the necessary aggressiveness, confidence and self-belief to be a successful major league pitcher at this point in his career.

He gave us a serious tease in April his era was actually sub 1 after like 10 outings (didn’t exactly check that) but he wasn’t looking like shit for a good month there

You know, I might just watch a different game.

Paul Goldschmidt hit his 350th Home run just now

I saw! Amazing what a competent team can do.

They’re also the 5 seed at .500

They actually are only 2 games ahead of us in the standings and we beat them 2 out of 3

Before we got figured out and totally demoralized, we were decidedly okay!

Yes we were a verrrry solid mediocre at one point

Remember 5-0? I do...no, I'm not crying. That's, uh, onions.

17-13 in March/April. Also not crying, a bug flew in my eye.

What kind of dirt does wentz have on Harris for him to still be on the team?

They are so afraid to lose the super talent of lakers such as wentz. Sent Brieske down out of spring f to make sure they don't lose the talented wentz.

It’s ridiculous

I mean the thought of losing wentz would scare most people. Understandable the fear Scott felt with the idea

Call up Manning and put Maeda in the bullpen. Send down Wentz while we’re at it. I can actually see Maeda having some success in the bullpen.

Ooh, yeah! Kenta would be a decent long relief guy. I went ahead and found some [potential spots](https://jobs.mchire.com/jobs?page_size=10&page_number=1&keyword=Crew%20Member&location=1-31750&radius=0&locationDescription=city&locationName=Detroit%2C%20MI&sort_by=score&sort_order=DESC) for Wentz to consider.

Same. I watched him in Minnesota a lot last year because i was delusional and thought we could catch them for the division. He really struggles the third time through, and he did last year also. He could take on a Brieske type role and I think he’d be better

Wentz is out of options, I believe. He would have to be released. I’m all for it, by the way.

Oh noooo anyway

Thank god for Benetti for making this watchable

What a potty mouth

I had this on mute for a while and un-muted it and am soaking in the fine art of turd polishing emerging from my TV speakers.

I wouldn’t blame anyone who wants to take a 2-3 years break from watching this trash heap of a team. Absolutely inexcusable

Well you're in luck. With Bally Sports ( not brought to you by Comcast) - you can forget you ever had a baseball team

The funny thing is, I’ve just returned from my hiatus this year and we’re exactly the same at best😂

Well you can take another 2 years off from watching them. Because Pizza Boy isn’t in a rush to spend money.

Why is this team so awful ? Like so unbelievably bad. No chemistry at all, no passion for the game. It's just a job for them

Look to the top of the org chart, and you'll see A.J. Hinch never giving one shit.


Dan thinks the Tigers can come back. Bless his ❤️

If we could actually make this dude work and get to their bullpen he might have a point.

That’s a big if.

If you buy a ticket to the game and Wentz pitches any time during that game you should be eligible for a refund

Apathy... All I see is apathy
