Meadows becoming rob deer
Skubol is looking filthy.
Tork another fart noise.
Tork is the only one not hitting in this one.
O for 4 with 2 kās
Typical
Air jordan Keith
Colt Keith got bit by a spider this morning.
Tigers did roar in 84 , just maybe they will roar in 24
Considering they have EIGHT bullpen guys with an ERA under 2.1 ā¦and the only pitchers over 3.7 are the 2 vet FA SPsā¦and even Flaherty is 3 for 4 in quality startsā¦
Glass half empty says they should probably be 15-8ish
Glass half full says they have at least clutch hit enough late to stay over .500 considering their lack of power and all team batting average
First pitch: 6:50 p.m. Tuesday, Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida

Scouting report
RHP Kenta Maeda (0-1, 7.64), Tigers: Heās been fighting to repeat his mechanics. The minute it looks like itās back in order, he canāt find the zone with any of his pitches against the Rangers and gets tagged for five earned runs and seven hits in 2.2 innings. Heās too often had to come in with his 89-mph four-seamer and hitters have done damage ā 5 for 15, two homers.
RHP Ryan Pepiot (2-2, 4.37), Rays: His four-seam fastball has been lethal for him so far. Heās throwing it 53% of the time and why wouldnāt he? Hitters are 3 for 37 against it with 16 strikeouts and a 42% whiff rate. In his last three starts, heās allowed 5 earned runs in 17 hitters with hitters slashing .186/.234/.339.
Defensive mistakes cost them 3games at least.
Great. Itās Maedaās turnā¦
Tork with the night off, Canha at 1B
Baez at six in the batting order, Keith down to seven.
I friggin love Skubal.
My favorite Tiger since Verlander.
