DataBase Hit

Kevin McGonigle has signed an 8 year, $150M extension with the Detroit Tigers.

What a difference a year makes. This is a pitch that Riley Greene would have whiffed on last season.

@BaseUnstitched May I introduce you to the Tigers IL situation :(

Say what you will about the Orioles results this year...I'm not sure a lot of teams, if any, could withstand the depth of talent they have on the IL at the current moment

Tigers SP stats since Skubal went on IL (5/4): 19.2 IP 6.86 ERA (29th) 1.73 WHIP .315 AVG 14.3 K-BB% 5.71 xERA 0.2 fWAR (29th) #DNMW

@charlieischeese Trying to have a positive outlook as best I can right now but this team is making that difficult to do

@DatabaseHit I appreciate that optimism. Everyone, even the vets can learn a lot from the 21 year old rook

The Tigers currently have the most players on the IL (15) of any team in baseball. Yes, they’re struggling to score runs, win games, etc but a lot can be attributed to the overall health of this team. Stick around .500 and then better days ahead as players come back. #DNMW

@Eatonbmoore Yeah I agree, we’ve reached the point where we need to play the best bats regardless of splits

@DatabaseHit We also have AJ still adamant on his stupid righty lefty match up analytics when he has AAA and has been players on the bench and he wants to bring them in for the few regular line up guys he has.

Dillon Dingler with his team leading 7th HR of the season! 101.8 MPH EV 369 FT

The Tigers have 3 hitters (Dingler, McGonigle, Greene) in the Top 30 league wide in xwOBA. Only the Braves have more (4) as a team. #DNMW

Qualified hitters with: AVG > .300 BB% > 10% SLG > .450 Xavier Edwards Yordan Alvarez Riley Greene Ben Rice Greene has been a completely different hitter so far this season.

The Tigers snap their 5 game losing streak and just like that are still only 1.5 GB of the division lead. #DNMW

GAGE WORKMAN WITH A GO AHEAD PINCH HIT HOME RUN FOR THE FIRST OF HIS CAREER

Matt Vierling now has 14 RBI in 30 PA with RISP so far this season.

5 of the guys on the Opening Day lineup card are now on the IL for the Tigers. What a brutal start to May.

The Tigers today placed OF Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list with a left AC joint sprain. INF Gage Workman (#99) was selected from Triple-A Toledo. To make room for Workman on the 40-man roster, RHP Justin Verlander was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

@DatabaseHit -21 OAA -8 DRS -12 FRV collectively a disaster

The Tigers are 6th worst in fielding percentage and also have the 6th most errors in all of baseball so far this season.

This just simply cannot happen

The Tigers look to snap the losing streak in game 2 of the series vs the Royals. #DNMW

The Tigers have now lost 4 in a row and 9 of their last 13. They’ve only been outscored by a total of 8 runs during that 13 game stretch.
