Tigers vs Royals; Sept 16-18

Reese Olson the starter tomorrow, Tigers back to four starting pitchers in the rotation although I expect Olson to be on a pitch count tomorrow.

Tigers at Royals

Series: Three games at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Mo.

First pitch: Monday-Wednesday — 7:40 p.m.

TV/radio: All three games on Bally Sports Detroit/97.1 FM

Probables: Monday — RHP Reese Olson (4-8, 3.23) vs. RHP Seth Lugo (16-8, 2.94); Tuesday — RHP Casey Mize (2-6, 4.47) vs. LHP Cole Ragans (11-9, 3.32); Wednesday — LHP Tarik Skubal (16-4. 2.50) vs. RHP Alec Marsh (8-8, 4.52).

— Royals’ probables are unofficial

Olson, Tigers: The Tigers haven’t made the official announcement yet, but the expectation is that Olson will be activated off the injured list (shoulder) before the game and made his first start since July 20. The Tigers were 4-2 in his six starts before the injury and he posted a 2.25 ERA with 31 strikeouts and 8 walks while holding hitters to a .202 average and .316 slug. He’s only thrown up to three innings and 45 pitches in his rehab starts, so it’s likely to be a short outing.

Lugo, Royals: He’s probably Tarik Skubal’s closest competitor for the Cy Young Award and he’s already beaten the Tigers twice, allowing one run in just seven hits in 15 innings with 12 strikeouts. He’s been on a heater, too. In his last three starts, against the Astros, Guardians and Yankees, he’s allowed two runs in 21 innings with 23 strikeouts and 2 walks.

Minnesota just lost 2 of 3 against a pretty crappy Cincinnati team. They play 4 against Cleveland, and then 3 against Boston.

Now is our chance to pounce…

Yeah shit.

I completely forgot that we have to play 3 more against Baltimore after KC.

Hopefully yesterday was the start, continuation, of a strong week for Greene.

I’m not gonna lie, in an old man get off my lawn moment, having to wait an extra hour for the first pitch is really annoying me.

I got put through the wringer this morning. I highly doubt I will still be awake in the 2nd or 3rd inning.

No doubt that you and others have made this baseball season much more enjoyable.

It was a very cool thing that Nate did by adding this to the Den. Hopefully others will see it and join in next year.

Olson looking good thru 2.
Curious what his pitch limit is tonight, believe he went around 45-50 in his last Toledo start. Think he is at 32 or 33 after 2 innings

@frm710 always will be called that by me.
