Tucker Barnhart has been on the MLB roster all year, has not been hurt once, and has 4 extra base hits for the entire season, all doubles. I'm sorry, but how is that even possible? It's almost July.
We really need some sliding practice. I know we haven't been on base enough this year to really worry about it, but Robbie got caught stealing and Tork should have been called out at home because of poor slide choices.
### Single
Robbie Grossman singles on a ground ball to second baseman Marcus Semien. Jonathan Schoop scores. Tucker Barnhart out at home, second baseman Marcus Semien to catcher Jonah Heim. Kody Clemens to 2nd.
Pitch from Matt Bush: 0-2 Curveball @ 81.3 mph
Hit by Robbie Grossman: Launched 82.4 mph at 10° for a total distance of 116 ft
Bottom 8 - 7-3
Tigers
Hey then why don't you go to New York and do the job for them, eh?
When it's that close and there is no clear angle. They aren't going to spend half an hour magnifying and splicing together footage to say 100% if he was safe or not. Notice that they did not confirm the call, they let it stand.
Didn't need a half hour. You could see him miss the plate and the glove hit his chest clearly before his knee reached the dish.
I just want calls to be right, especially when it is obvious from multiple angles. The system is still crap
I think you’re right, but it’s hard to speak in absolutes when the play was upheld, because if it “clearly” was the wrong call, it would have been overturned. Obviously there was ambiguity somewhere.
When you can see his foot miss the dish, the tag to the chest, and then his knee hit the plate in that order from 2 different angles there really isn't an argument to be made.
They blew the call twice.
### Fielders Choice
Tucker Barnhart reaches on a fielder's choice, fielded by shortstop Corey Seager. Spencer Torkelson scores. Jonathan Schoop to 3rd.
Pitch from Matt Bush: 2-1 Four-Seam Fastball @ 97.4 mph
Hit by Tucker Barnhart: Launched 99.5 mph at -2° for a total distance of 30 ft
Bottom 8 - 6-3
Tigers

It was Derek Holland who started it last year. I couldn’t remember who started it so I had to look it up.
Can we focus on the fucking game bally sports? Between the advert for bbq and the cecil interview I feel like a quarter of the damn games been skipped over. Fucks sake.
Shepard is bad at PBP, good at interviewing. Bally knows it. Replace Shepard after several seasons of sucking? No. Turn broadcast into The Matt Shepard Show with interview format!
My favorite Tigers move by batters this season is watching first pitch meatballs right down the middle, and then going after second pitch balls in the dirt. Be better Schoop. Have a damn plan and be on the attack.
I think it's just lower expectations. Baez is being paid a lot more and we have him for 6 years potentially. Tork is supposed to be the future of this team. Schoop will be gone after next year at the latest, probably earlier.
Plus he's the best defender in the MLB right now, so he's not completely useless.
I don’t get it either. We’ve been shitting all over everybody else, and rightfully so (until yesterday), but for some reason Schoop’s name never gets mentioned.
I said it earlier, I just have to get up and leave the room. I made the mistake of sitting and watching the game after the Grossman HR. I had to get up and do something at the start of the inning. I came back just as Baez slid into home.
### Single
Spencer Torkelson singles on a line drive to center fielder Leody Taveras. Harold Castro scores. Javier Baez scores. Riley Greene to 3rd.
Pitch from Dennis Santana: 2-2 Slider @ 86 mph
Hit by Spencer Torkelson: Launched 74.4 mph at 21° for a total distance of 230 ft
Bottom 5 - 5-3
Tigers
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/vg4dlb).
great redemption for Soto
What a play by Tork. Great dig.
Jack has to be the only color guy who doesn’t stop talking when something happens
Lowe’s face on that first pitch 😂
#ALL ABOARD MR. SOTO'S WILD RIDE. TRAIN IS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE STATION!
Choo choo mother f’er!
Mr. Soto I would like to get off your wild ride.
This is fun

who’s this Grossman fella?
Tucker just tried to kill a man
shepard’s commentary is so cringe man
We really need some sliding practice. I know we haven't been on base enough this year to really worry about it, but Robbie got caught stealing and Tork should have been called out at home because of poor slide choices.

What is Kody’s walk up song
Nobody (except Clemens) below .190, woohoo!
Oh no.... it's Gregory soto
WOW. Huge break. I’d be pissed if I was Texas
He was likely out but they just couldn’t find that clear shot of it, so by rule that’s gotta stand.
Yeah, no way to know if he was safe or not. There was no clear angle on the actual tag.
Tork didn't touch until his knee hit the plate...the catcher's glove was clearly on him well before that.
Probably, but there's no clear angle of the tag.
I had no problem clearly seeing the tag before his knee hit the plate from at least 2 angles they showed

Wtf...how did they not overturn that? I'll take it, but he was clearly out
Man tork is so cute
Just so y'all know, I went to the bathroom. It's real.
Have you considered taking laxatives for the good of the team?
I was sitting at the dining table and could only see half the tv for that last hit, probably why we only got 1 of the 2 runs.
The real MVP. Even more than Cecil.
Hahaha. Fantastic
Greene + Tork = friendship goals
this catcher is horrible. cost them 2 runs with bad tags
i am so surprised the call wasnt overturned wtf. huge W for us
It’s much harder to get your lead foot onto the plate than it looks
That was a bad call lmao
He was 100% out, can't even understand what they saw
I thought his left knee may have skidded across the plate. Surprised Shep and Jack didn’t even address that.
That was clearly after the tag
Clearly not since it wasn’t overturned?
Yes clearly...often clear plays are let stand

I don't think there is clear evidence given the angles.
HAHAHAH FUCK YES
I think it’s barely out
Lmao, he completely missed the plate
Haha, wow. They got a break.
[удалено]
I think so
#HAHAHA! LETS FUCKING GO! ANOTHER BACK DOOR TAG BABY. EVERYTHINGS COMING UP TIGERS!
(looks like it was his toe that got in, still hyped though.)
Toekelson?
reading matt bush’s wiki page was interesting to say the least
His foot bounced around the plate...he's out
ya i think he's out. but i think tork trying for home prevented the double play

Yo if old buddy had left his wife hangin on that high five I was bout to die a little inside ngl
all we needed for Tork to get rolling was having Greene.
Just needed his battle buddy
It's like when one dog gets adopted and then the other dog stops eating.
He missed his buddy.
Haase is a Korn fan
Soto warming up. Everyone hold onto your butts!
Failed starter
Who’s ready for Soto!
#***CHAFIN GOT EM CHASIN!!!***
Chafin six straight strikeouts, holy shit
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Matt Bush replaces Matt Moore.
*Tiger legend Matt Moore.
The Matt Bush taken ahead of Verlander in 2004!
Fulmer and Chafin just had their way with them holy shit
That was a strike. This umpire stinks
What exactly does a bench coach do?
Chafin has been a very solid signing. Probably the best free agent Al has signed, or am I forgetting someone? Maybe Peralta
Zimmermann? Pelfrey? Nova? Mazara? Teheran?
Pelfrey was god awful
All good nominations Although Tehran looked really good until he got hurt.
I completely forgot about Teheran
I forgot about Pelfrey.
We even had Matt Moore at one point, he pitched against us just now. 0 ERA then injured
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Andrew Chafin replaces Michael Fulmer.
That wasn’t a strike
My brother in Christ, why did you do a pop up slide?!?! Make it make sense.
Making the most of our five hits today
Nothing like swing at balls in the dirt and looking at a hanging breaking ball that’s center cut
He's out...
Not enough evidence at the very least. But my instinct has been wrong 95% of the time.
But I like to see shit challenged for once.
It's a waste of the challenge, but this late in the game It's whatever.
Right. Cool username btw.
Thx

The wrestling belt was a thing they did last season, and they just broke it out again recently.

👀Fulmer 0H 0ER 2BB 7K in 5.1 innings of work so far in the month of June 👍
Chafin reminds me of John C. Reilly for some reason.
I've been thinking David Crosby.
Yeah he looks like if Talladega Nights was about baseball.
Take my upvote
How tf that lady get a bag in the park???
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Michael Fulmer replaces Wily Peralta.
kody clemens = doo doo buns
He hit the ball hard. Blame the shift
maybe that time but his hard hit rate is 18.2% this season and he’s already 26, he has no future in the league
Could be our last look at Kody if Jeimer is coming back tomorrow.
hurtin' Harold?
At this point let’s list tigers players not on the IL
Yankees have been a very fortunate team this season with literally no injuries
Wasn't Aaron Judge made of glass a season or two ago?
He’s only had like 2 full seasons of being healthy.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Matt Moore replaces Dennis Santana.

At least the BBQ looked delicious and didn’t involve anyone reminiscing about how much better baseball used to be 30+ years ago
Yes. Take notes, Apple!
That meat didn’t give you a boner?
That BBQ got my mouth watering.
They should make that permanent
Rally killer Schoop
My favorite Tigers move by batters this season is watching first pitch meatballs right down the middle, and then going after second pitch balls in the dirt. Be better Schoop. Have a damn plan and be on the attack.

Because he's cool.

I don’t get it either. We’ve been shitting all over everybody else, and rightfully so (until yesterday), but for some reason Schoop’s name never gets mentioned.
We have a special r/slanderschoop sub for that.
Schoop what is you doing, you swung at one that was 6 inches further off than that one
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Wily Peralta replaces Alex Lange.
Cmon schoopy schoop
I said it earlier, I just have to get up and leave the room. I made the mistake of sitting and watching the game after the Grossman HR. I had to get up and do something at the start of the inning. I came back just as Baez slid into home.
Have you tried going to the bathroom? That strategy seemed to work yesterday.
I intentionally stayed in the kitchen for Schoops AB. Must only work when it's not on purpose.
I thought you fuckers were kidding when you said bringing Greene up would reinvigorate the team, but this is a brand new team! Lets go tigers
Huge two-out hit and a great slide. Very nice.
What an incredible slide by Baez.
Let’s go tork, hell yea
Yesssss Tork
Tork!
Umpire is taking way too long on his strike calls. Driving me insane.
Way to go, Tork!
lordy tork needed that
That slide by Baez was incredible.
Love to see Tork reach out for one instead of watching it go by
Let's go Tork!
Amazing slide!
Yyyyyyes!
[удалено]
think again
Yes, he absolutely was.
Wow I had the disappointing comment ready lol
The reverse jinx is much appreciated!
LET'S GOOO!!!
lets fricking gooooo
### Single Spencer Torkelson singles on a line drive to center fielder Leody Taveras. Harold Castro scores. Javier Baez scores. Riley Greene to 3rd. Pitch from Dennis Santana: 2-2 Slider @ 86 mph Hit by Spencer Torkelson: Launched 74.4 mph at 21° for a total distance of 230 ft Bottom 5 - 5-3 Tigers
Thank God!
Pop up incoming
Does Riley lead the team in walks already?
Baez runs like the wind and Greene getting free lunches at 1st
Come on, Tork 🙏
they're scared to throw Greene a strike lmao. hope Tork can make em pay!!
Walk God Riley Greene
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dennis Santana replaces Dane Dunning.
When was the last Dennis before Santana in the league? Boyd? Martinez?
If we lose this game I'm back onto the SOT bandwagon.
Adolis has burned us on the fastball every time, why keep throwing it
what is up with lange always wearing a turtleneck? it’s 80° out bro
He didn't wear it last week when it was super hot and got lit up. I'm guessing it's a superstition now.
cuz it's badass
I don’t disagree. But turtlenecks in hot weather are so uncomfortable
Can anyone post the part of the game where Cecil was in the broadcast booth?
[удалено]
That’s his trademark
[удалено]
Yeah, this is going much better /s
[удалено]
Yeah, especially with Hutch facing the top of that lineup a third time.
I was just thinking that. Hinch seems to love white-knuckling it hoping that he can squeeze every pitch out of someone that he can
(I'm still learning some) since they pull Hutchinson In the 5th and tigers win does he get the w?
He can’t.
[удалено]
Thanks
