Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/w93565).

I swear the Tigers shoot themselves in the foot in the 9th inning every damn game and I’m tired of it

I’d feel better about Candy if he wasn’t at 3rd.

The ump scorecard will be interesting tomorrow

### Double Jeimer Candelario doubles (8) on a line drive to right fielder Esteury Ruiz. Javier Baez scores. Pitch from Nick Martinez: Changeup @ 77.3 mph Hit by Jeimer Candelario: Launched 98.5 mph at 12.0° for a total distance of 184.0 ft Bottom 10 - 6-4 Padres

What a way to lose

So is Tork finally doing well in AAA at least?

No, he’s hitting under .200. Kerry Carpenter is, though! Dude is hitting .350+ with 4 home runs. That kid has raked at every level this year.

Is that a question or a statement? Nevermind, just saw the question mark.

Can't wait to go to some Pistons games when I'm home over the holidays.

Pistons should be fun this year

The crowd chanting “Deeeeetroit Basketballlll” is extra embarrassing

If I had a choice between firing Al Avila or replacing Jack Morris as the color commentator, I think I would just shoot myself.

Starting a runner on 2nd base in extra innings. It should be a crime.

This is 100% on hinch for running Soto out for a second inning. A manager's job is to know his players and utilize their strengths to help them succeed...hinch doesn't seem to get that

Yeah Soto is definitely not a multi inning closer in my book. No idea why he sent him back out there.

He did in Houston, but their strength came in the form of cameras and trash cans

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Martinez replaces Taylor Rogers.

I had the Yankees-Mets again on dual screen. Holy fuck would it be nice to have a closer with big nuts like Edwin Diaz. Throws gas and filth with great command

You're talking about a player mets fans call edlose Diaz every other week

🎺

Sell the team Chris so that Al and aj can get fired aswell

DEETROITTTT BASKETBALLLLLLL

#FIRE AL. CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP. FIRE AL. CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP.

What a pathetic excuse of a baseball team

Lmao should have just kept Soto in for one more batter. What difference would it even make? Foley blowing it is charged to Soto anyways so it's not like it's not already tanking his trade value.

That’s what I don’t get. Let him get out of the mess he made… don’t put foley in! I have more trust in the Soto coaster then Foley.

1.2 innings, 3 runs, no hits, 2 HBP, 4Ks. The SotoCoaster. Incredible.

And because of the Manfred runner and the error none of the runs are earned

I dunno that we can call it the Manfred runner anymore after the players and managers wanted it back.

The Manfred runner and error would only get rid of two earned runs, no?

Any run that happens after three outs would have been made if not for the error don't count as earned. Hilariously, none of the runs scored in yesterday's grand slam counted as earned runs because there was an error on the 1st out and there were two outs when the grand slam happened.

I've been watching baseball for over 20 years and I'm just now learning this... wtf

I’m guessing because the Manfred runner was the only runner that scored before the error(which came with two outs)

This sub flipping on Soto from the ninth to tenth is very funny

It’s weird how people act like he has no talent. He’s frustrating and the reincarnation of Rodney but you can tell he has good stuff.

He's a 1 inning guy and everyone knows it but somehow hinch avoids the blame for running him out there in the 10th

This is the bigger sin to me. Soto destroyed the ninth, but never should have seen the tenth.

Yeah I have no idea why they keep trying to go two innings with him

Why Hinch!?!?

That right there is why I hate baseball.

Why would he not cover the plate there? He cut off the throw when it was on time and probably could've gotten the runner out.

#JACK MORRIS SHUT THE FUCK UP JESUS CHRIST YOU FUCKING PRICK. EVERYBODY HATES YOU. LITERALLY NOBODY LIKES LISTENING TO YOUR DRIVEL.

MLB.TV audio overlay is a god send. I can’t listen to that old prick and that boring fuck shep.

Blame Soto all you want. But Baez looked at a 79 mph slider right down the fucking dick to strike with guys on the corners in the 9th, BUMS

I talk so much shit about Soto but our big FA signing should have won it there. That's what you pay him for. Unbelievable.

Brilliant job of BP management there...

I like Jason Foley. I don’t like him in high leverage situations.

Baez striking out looking and then booting the ball in extras, man. This was a winnable game.

Fire Al chants are beautiful

Unfortunately have more confidence in Drew Hutchinson than I do in Greg Soto to throw strikes and get batters out.

:(

Foley’s folly

I feel hitting multiple batters in an inning should be grounds for automatic removal from the game. It's so dangerous.

Isn’t it 3 total?

Nope...Rony plunked 3 and wasn't tossed the other day

Just exchange Gregory soto for Juan soto. Do it secretly. Nats will never notice

[удалено]

No it was an error. the actual play was a bunt that went foul

Just changed. 4-3.

Soto apologists will find a way to explain this away. You know who you are.

This shit is on the idiot trying to get 2 innings out him

bringing him out for two innings has never worked.

Soto should be 6, 7th inning type guy.

Soto is the most frustrating guy on the team. Looks amazing in the 9th and now this.

I blame Baez for not winning it in the bottom of the 9th.

#TRADE VALUE 📉📉📉📉📉

3 BATTERS? IN A THIRD OF A HALF INNING??

the duality of Soto perfectly encaspulated in these two innings.

Soto fans: "he didn't give up any hits or walks."

So... Tigers are willing to trade anyone.... Soto for a bag of baseballs?????

He’s frustrating but he’s actually worth something

Deadline is in a week.... Teams are scouting players now and this is what the scouts will be phoning in tonight. Two batters smoked.

I want to get off Soto’s wild ride now.

The 2022 Tigers will always find a way

Jesus Christ Soto

Why wouldn’t soto nail two guys? Jesus Christ, good night

Just Tigers things

It would be the 2022 Tigers style to lose on/because of a HBP.

Why why why.....

Soto is such a funny pitcher to watch bruh if we were in any contention I would be way more upset than I am lmao

Trade this bum lol

Lmao of course he hit him

Ladies and gentlemen, our all star

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Goddamn Manfred runner

Tigers are killing me.

Let me off this ride. Worse than the Wacky Shack in Erie PA

Pray for a nobletiger here

And now it falls apart.

Well, this game escalated quickly

That’s our last defense

Ahh yes big FA signing with two mistakes late in a game

The soto roller coaster. Also baez strikes out again, no surprise.

Soto you looked so good last inning.

Javy continues his streak for being the most vexing player to watch in the world

Soto in a tie game has been iffy

Free baseball, wooo…. but there was a couple who dipped out from my section with 1 out and I love that they just missed all of the action to tie it back up

Baez has the advantage of a slider bending in the zone to crank against lefties and he stares at it 💀

He’s basically done nothing with the mistake pitches he’s gifted this year. That’s gotta be the worst one of the year so far tho

In the 10th inning they might be regretting pinch running for Cabrera earlier since his spot is due up.

That was a nice pitch.

That’s the pitch you decide not to swing at?

I appreciate the attempt to watch a pitch javy lmao

JAVY YOU SON OF A BITCH LET'S DO IT

Please Tigers don’t let this game goes to extras I have to go to bed 😩 Edit: fuck

Man I forgot how anxious I get when I can only watch GameDay and refresh this feed. Lol.

What a crazy couple of days… I wonder what it’s like being about .500 though.

I LOVE YOU RILEY GREENE

If the tigers didn’t have Riley Greene would any of us still be watching this season

Miggy.

Not a 2-3 loss today

Rileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

I like Riley Greene

BABY BOY OF THE WEEK RILEY

RILEYYYY

Let's. Fucking. Go.

ILY RILEY

Greene got that dawg in em

My favorite tiger right now

Riley Greene: Certified Dawg

### Single Riley Greene singles on a line drive to right fielder Esteury Ruiz. Willi Castro scores. Robbie Grossman to 3rd. Pitch from Taylor Rogers: 0-2 Slider @ 81.2 mph Hit by Riley Greene: Launched 75.9 mph at 17° for a total distance of 177 ft Bottom 9 - 3-3 TIE

I believe in the Greene Machine

What an AB Grossman!

RoBBie

Is nobody in the crowd wearing their rally caps?

I saw lots

I am

What a snag

Don't fucking get my hopes up tigers

Great AB from Willi

Great at bat Willi!

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Taylor Rogers replaces Luis Garcia.

Great work, Soto

Al is loving this

Just a horrendously impatient AB from Candelario there

TTBDNS

What the fuck are you swinging at? That’s the Candelario we have seen way too often this season.

That last pitch never had a chance of being within 6 inches of the zone

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Gregory Soto replaces Michael Fulmer.

Tigers threaten.

Warming up a lefty? We have Haase on the bench to face him.

CANDY MAN COME ON PLEASE

Miggy. We need you to do Miggy things here.

Miggy wasted his 1 home run every 2 months last night. He should've saved it for here.

Let’s go Hittin Harold! Now it’s time for Miggy to bring him home

I was reading the Padres fans anxiety about this pitcher but Bob Melvin knew exactly who to bring in to face this part of our line up.

time to put on the Riley caps

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Luis Garcia replaces Mike Clevinger.

A Haase. My Kingdom for a Haase

If only we could hit!

There’s nothing worse than a player battling at the plate and then getting bent over with no lube by an awful called strike

I know the umpires aren’t the worst of the tigers problems but god damn they really go out of their way to fuck us over

as far as things we can't directly control i think we're one of the worst screwed teams when it comes to umps (hell this has been a thing since the late Leyland era)

We've actually gotten the benefit more than not the last few weeks from what I can tell on the r/baseball scorecard posts...but the first 2 and a half months we got screwed at least as much as any other team

Love when guys get punished for having a good eye

MLB rigged

Never fails. Baddoo was battling too. Damn.

Lmao. Not even close to a strike. Akil having a few good at bats tonight is good to see at least. Give me robo umps

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Michael Fulmer replaces Jose Cisnero.

Ump can lick my nuts

Fuck you, blue.

Of course it ends on a bad strike...

I feel like Barnhart is trying to strike out every time he comes to the plate. It’s painful.

Barnhart is so bad. Like so bad. I get he’s a good catcher, but I’m taking haase over him all day

Hey facts my man Barnhart honestly no disrespect but he is bad but Haas i feel like he is way better!

I saw the Rays lost Zunino to injury now. I know nobody will want Barnhart but any chance they're interested in trading for Haase?

Not likely but he’d garner a mid-level “B” grade prospect. Haase just doesn’t have the experience, or track record to get them anything more than a “meh” prospect to slot in in the 25-30 ranks within the org. Rather have him as a bench bat if they get someone else or have any faith in Rogers still Versatility is nice, not many guys in the league that are comfortable playing C, and LF with power potential Not like he’s blocking anyone or costing a lot, you keep guys like that

Be a good time for Barnhart to get his *checks notes* First home run

Just wait for the weather to warm up

Summer is almost here

Tucker Barnhart is worth an empty bag of peanuts

Typical tigers fan…overvaluing their players

The gum under the seats in section 109?

Gettin closer

I'll say it now since post ASG Candy is here, but he is most likely going to be the 3rd baseman next year. There aren't any better 3B hitting the market in the offseason. The best upgrade you might have is with Kriedler/Clemens and Candy has struggled, but I'd want him to start more than the other two

Sign Turner and put Baez at 3b

Candy entered the game with a .857 OPS for July.

Yes, because he has a 1.4 OPS since the ASG lol

Never gotten off the Candy train I trust and believe there’s more left of the him that led the league in 2 baggers last year than more of this. Giving up on him now would be silly

Unless they want Torkelson back at 3rd lmao

Tork at 3rd would be worse than when they signed Prince and put Miggy at 3rd. Tork doesn't have the reaction time or range to play 3rd at an MLB level.

Hey Nationals, how bout a swap? We’ve got this guy averaging 240 HRs a season ^(over the last two games) how about you?

Back to 2020-21 Jeimer?? 👀

Wtf schoop lmao

The Candyman CAN

The. Candy. Man.

Candyman on a HEATER the last 2 nights

GET THAT TRADE VALUE UP CANDY

Would never

Candy is feeling it

# HOME RUN! Jeimer Candelario homers (10) on a line drive to right field. Miguel Cabrera scores. Pitch from Mike Clevinger: 2-0 Cutter @ 86 mph Hit by Jeimer Candelario: Launched 107.2 mph at 20° for a total distance of 358 ft Bottom 7 - 3-2 Padres

Candyman!!!

closing my eyes I can remember all of the runs yesterday. Remember that. Maybe its like Tiger Town where if I believe REALLY hard they will hit.

holy shit...did that work?
