Robert Parish

@TigersJUK I’ve been a die hard sports fan for all 41 years of my life. Other than the Detroit Lions the last few years - I can’t recall a team with this many injury issues.

Fucking hell now Kenley is hurt this is genuinely the worst season of all time

@TigersJUK Are you subjected to the Fieger Law commercials constantly blasting “All We Do is Win”? Think we need a contingency that they can only play it when the Tigers have won 2 or more straight.

Wenceel Perez vs RHP this season: .136/.205/.198

@JimCosta_ Would you like to see his text threads too? What about his call history? This is the lamest talking point of all time. If he posted some long negative word salad I’m sure we’d be saying less talk and more action.

Your team has lost 17 of 20 You misplayed a ball in RF in the 8th inning to swing the game You’re the worst player in MLB (-1.0) WAR Let’s share the HR we hit 5 (FIVE!?!) different times on Instagram Read the room

@riger1984 Better not post it on social unless they win.

Jose Soriano just threw 105 pitches. I don’t believe what I just saw. 105 pitches! Didn’t think that happened anymore.

@TomOmalley942 @evanwoodbery It’s social media. Who cares. Neither sharing a post celebrating a home run or posting a bunch of negative word salad is going to have an ounce of impact on this team. Also…get used to this. Have you seen what little league is like these days?

@evanwoodbery Perez's post is a self aggrandizing selfish post & if you can't see that then I have a lot of problems with your post. A self congratulatory post of a meaningless HR because his misplay literally cost his team the game shows disgraceful indifference & tone deaf ignorance.

I have a lot of problems with this post: 1. You may be frustrated, but why target the longest-tenured player in the Tigers' organization, who has always played hard and with a positive attitude, who made meaningful contributions to 2 playoff seasons, and has already overachieved and exceeded expectations for his MLB career? 2. Demanding that players be performatively sad 24-7 after a loss, when they are humans with wives, young kids, normal lives who have played hundreds or thousands of games in their careers and thus have dealt with failure many times before and will do so many times again, is absurd. 3. MLB player Instagram is relatively unpolluted by the nonsense of social media -- particularly for regular, non-star players. Sharing positive photos and videos with friends and family back home and current and former teammates around the game is totally normal. That's why a ton of players are on Instagram and virtually zero are on X/Twitter.

@TigersJUK Well said. I’m not going to argue we’d have the best record in baseball…but I’m confident we don’t lose 17 out of 20 if we have any two of Carp, Torres, Javy, or Meadows. Any two and I do think we’re in the neighborhood of .500.

I think the worst part of the Tigers being bad is I actually like pretty much every player on the team. Wenceel was clutch the last two seasons, Vierling before he was injured sparked the big comeback in 24, Vest threw huge innings for us, Tork had big hits down the stretch, McKinstry & Javy at the all star game was brilliant, Flaherty when he came was legit etc etc I don’t want to get on be negative & see others doing the same to these players, they were all part of the best two seasons in a decade… But they’ve just been SO BAD. Very upsetting.

@Castellani2014 Do you think we have injury sensitive players, the worst collection of medical professionals (entire city of Detroit), or did UofM do some dirty voodoo that sucked the soul from every other sports team in the state?

Keith 4 for his last 4. No pop, but it’s something.

@TigersJUK Gives these vibes

Can’t explain it but I hate this guy so much

@confusion_reign I have probably lost my mind watching this team the last few weeks so that is fair. And I do very much believe that if we have any two of a healthy Torres, Carpenter, Baez, or Meadows the last month we’re probably .500. It’s just a dark place right now.

@parishrob22 Why? Why in the world would they fire Harris? The team made the playoffs two years in a row after being awful for a decade. Have you lost your mind?

It’s Harris’ fault everyone started kicking the ball around and making endless mental mistakes. Sadly, the players and AJ have no control over how the team plays.

@TigersJUK Might be room in the bullpen now. I didn’t think we could get any Hurter.

What do they even do with Jack? Move him to the bullpen? They can’t really cut him with all the injuries but he absolutely cannot be starting Major League Baseball games. He’s Anibal Sanchez last year as a Tiger levels of washed.

@TigersJUK Take her for a walk and tell her…maybe 3 walks

Charlotte has joined me at the work hotel for the weekend. Snuck her in. Room immediately a mess. Dressing table looks like a car boot sale. How do I tell her Jack Flaherty is going on the big screen in an hours time?

@EricSal_7 It’s funny how even though it’s a home game - practically nobody in the crowd throws their hands up in the air in a ”where’s the foul” kind of way.

I’ve been watching this game addictively since 1989 and I’ve never seen a player in the history of the NBA lean his feet in the defenders space and fall down after nearly every jumper like SGA does. Play basketball man.

@LockCity_USA @BarryOnHere Just make the defense stay in the paint like elementary children.

@BarryOnHere Ahhh yes let’s land on the defender’s foot and get injured always one step ahead of us Barry

This is absolutely embarrassing and if you try justifying this you're a pussy.

@Wolffman96 Over 27% of the runs we’ve scored this year have come in 6 games - all prior to April 24th. Agreed.

Can we all agree the Tigers need bats compared to pitching?! And no, I don't think Max Clark is the answer so. #DNMW

@Wolffman96 Pitching has been more than good enough to be above .500 at this point. Scoring more than 1 run relieved game pressure. Over 27% of our season total of runs have come in 6 games this season.

Can't win games when you are scoring 2 runs or less. Can't win games with Colt Keith still not having a HR. Can't win when you don't have starting pitching. Can't win games when the bullpen is at Triple A level. Can't win games with you are putting Zach Short out daily. Can't win games when guys like Perez or Workman shouldn't even be here. Its not rocket science! #DNMW

@BradGalli @burchie_kid I’m convinced the goal is to get to 0.2% as quick as possible so we have a long runway. Only 6% more to go!

Scary stat about the Tigers playoff chances here from @burchie_kid:

@Yfz84 So it’s not a foul either then?

This is not a flop btw. SGA already explained that he just exaggerates some falls to control how he lands because his center of gravity is so high. It’s literally something he does to avoid injuries.

@TigersJUK Maybe the goal is to get to 0.2% playoff chance as quick as possible so we have a longer runway.

Jahmai Jones & Matt Vierling getting more at bats than Riley Greene in a one run game. Unbelievable.

@TigersJUK Fire comparison

Career PA: Zack Short: 607 Zack Grienke: 600 Zack Short: .169/.272/.291 Zack Grienke: .221/.262/.336
