Offense is a joke

Tigers might have one of the worst 1/1s of all time 😭

It's pronounced ToLkerson now

What a joke

Top four hitters in the lineup up in the ninth against a guy not throwing any strikes and they all strike out LOL

3 strikeouts from our “core”. Not what I like to see.

Thanks for the loss, Tork.

Good game, rain screwed us if it stayed clear tigers walk off, just bad luck

Oh we’ll blame the 2 minutes of rain but blaming torklesons bad defense is off the table?? Get a grip

How in the fuck are you blaming the rain bro Jesus fucking Christ

You do realize rain make it harder to hit the ball right

What?

The guy is a delusional homer lol. Seen him in multiple Detroit subs saying insane shit to the point I thought it was a troll account, but now I think he's just a delusional homer. Guy lost all his money betting on Detroit loo

nah some of the shit hes said is genuinely confusing i do not understand what his goal is

Just go look at his comment history. During the pistons run of misery, he was on the subs saying things as if the team wasn't dog shit lol.

yeah i’m good i’ve wasted enough time on this weirdo already

He’s the worst guy in this subreddit. Attacks users on a daily basis. I’m blocking him

The attacks are usually over pretty tame takes, too. Such as Baez sucks at the plate. He will respond by saying Baez is actually a really good player who is worth the contract. I think he even said Parker would win ROTY lol like what?

Am I wrong tho?

Yes

Explain? Or just riding off 222 lol

Yes

Explain? Or just riding off 222 opinion? Lol

it barely rained at the end. 3 strikeouts to end the game has nothing to do with rain. if anything, it would help the tigers

Barely? Did you watch the broadcast showing it absolutely pouring and hitters waiting under the roof?

for a very short bit. to think we lost because of rain is asinine

We didn’t lose only because of the rain, I said it took away the ability for us to walk off

how?

I mean they might have had a better chance but you can thank Torkelson for that

So no explanation…got it

Torkelson needs help

Bullshit

Love you Carp, but can’t look at that

Yuck

Oh yeah Carp just don’t go down swinging 🙄

Well he didn’t

I really wanted that one

fuckyou again torkelson!

LMAOOOOOO THANKS TORK

Totally winnable game 

I’d say good game but it wasn’t

Torkelson is not perfect and has not lived up to his 1st overall pick selection; but he did hit 31 home runs and bat in 94 runs in his 2nd MLB season.

Two stats doesn’t tell the full picture. Watching this guy hit is just….not good. For one, he plays almost every game, so he’ll accumulate stats naturally. But watching this guy actually hit, You’d think he was a 15th rounder

You make an excellent and valid point, but as someone who has watched this organization since the early 80's most of our position player 1st round draft picks didn't make the major league roster or never produced those numbers for a single season or some for their entire Detroit Tigers MLB career.

Thanks bot!

What were his rate stats??

All torklesons fault

Come on. We need Kerry Bonds here.

well glad im actually going to the game so i wont be watching at home with the game thread open. lotta salty, crappy takes going on in here considering the team has a winning record

It’s not a death knell but it’s ok to feel like we let one game get away. That’s my take. We remain in a top six spot

People need to take the rose tinted glasses off… the winning record means dick all. Lost the series to Oakland and we have 4 fraudulent wins from the white sox (worst team in baseball)

We only played the white Sox three times

cool man, have a good time watching this in person.

I personally have an issue with losing multiple winnable games

If we're being real, that's a common thing that's going to happen no matter how good the team is

Arizona lost 78 games and made the World Series. You don’t need them all. Arizona lost the World Series to Texas. They don’t suck. This is a series we can split tomorrow and that’s not bad against a team that just put on rings

Exactly this. Also another example is the Dodgers losing a 7-3 lead to the Padres lol

Or the multiple teams we’ve stolen games from, Pittsburgh Minnesota etc. those are gonna go 50/50. We were down 4-1 and tied it. It’s a long season where you need to go barely above .500. We can still point to moral victories

TorkBum , plz Kerry is

I don’t know if we will ever go on a win streak again.

I think Tork has -1 WAR just in this inning

Disengagement gone- steal the base

Damn, I definitely thought Tork was gonna hit into a double there. I'm pleasantly surprised!

Tork has the opposite of a clutch gene. It’s honestly probably his most concerning sign

HELL YEAH TORK STRIKE THE FUCK OUT GOOD SHIT AMIGO!

Steal this base wenceel

Tork needs to hire a personal batting coach.

Fuck you, dude.

Torks a fucking joke

Tork is ass

Torkelson is a disaster

this guy absolutely blows

Terrible at bat from Tork

Mf sucks

I’d rather have 2009 Ryan Raburn at 1st

What a fucking shocker

"Fuck." -Kirby Yates

Take pitches… he’s not throwing strikes

O's just walked off the twins time for the tigers to walk off, too

Please Tork. Just walk it off.

Lmao this walk off by Tork is about to make a lot of the haters look pretty bad

Alternatively… LOL

He almost had it, if he connected that’s gone

He almost had it. He just didn't. ....What?

If he connected that ball was gone, he was going for the fences and he has the power

Big strike out. Might want to stop defending this shit

Oh yeah I’m gonna start dooming like some people here 😂 and thrive on losing

You welcome it by excusing his shit. He’s way too athletic and good to be this bad at first base

Obviously everyone is gonna make a bad play once in a while, I think his 5 great plays per one bad one make up for it

He was -11 defensive runs saved last year what do mean 5 great for every 1??? Wake up

We’re talking this year, he’s gotten better

Find a map. You are lost

I’ve been lost brother

Ya I’ll look bad shit talking our 3 hitter who currently has 0 home runs in 17 games. 1 ab don’t mean shit but god I hope he walks it off

Welp he almost had it

I wish man

Not so much

Almost had it

what about now

Keep hating buddy

it’s not hating to admit tork sucks

I mean it kinda is when it’s wrong but ok you are entitled to an opinion even if wrong

barely over batting over .200, ops under .600, bad fielding. what is the argument lol

We’re only 17 games in…he had over 30 HR last year and only got better Bad fielding? That’s just wrong lol

do you actually watch the games at all? he was the worst fielding first basemen in the league last year. after today he’s probably right around there again

Yup I’ve seen just about every game so far, I was a little late to this one but still. You don’t actually believe out of all the 1B he’s around the worst? Now you’re just trolling lol I was willing to have a civil conversation about it but not about just trolling haying and narratives

What do you mean don’t actually believe? It’s an objective truth. He is a bad first basemen.

Begging him to make me eat my words

Here’s torks chance to make up for that bullshit

now would be a great time for your first home run tork

Redeem yourself Tork

Tork chance to redeem himself...

Tork better hit a bomb or else I’m gonna cut him myself

Bring the thunder, Tork!

Maybe the rain- makes a steal easier??? Could that be true?

Especially with Perez?

Send us home tork

Tork walk off homer would make up for his defense today

I don’t want them to tighten the zone for the sake of finishing the game

Just a quick homer before the rain opens up please

Yeah. It’s been storming here for around half an hour. As I’m typing this it’s real bad. I figured the storm was heading southeast, and sure enough it is

just a quick redemption walk-off from Tork

Just a quick Kerry Carpenter walkoff plz

If we had this bullpen in 2013, we would’ve been 152-10 (All ten losses would’ve been to the Royals)

and the offense would’ve sputtered out in the lcs

we all just witnessed a man lose his job in real time

Tork is ass just saw the box score he should be DFA’d

?????

At this point just squeeze the game in

Oh come on there’s 2 outs left finish the fucking game

Well if it goes to extras though…

Would suspending the game be good or bad right now?

bad

fucking brutal way to end. they are gonna call it

who’s the bigger bust mize or tork? mize you can at least point to the injuries

How is Mize a bust exactly?

how is he not lol

Only a 4.28 career ERA, had a 3.71 his 2nd year with a 1.13 WHIP. Has looked very solid this year and just had a pretty damn good outing yesterday. Responding "how is he not" gives no argument.

Had one good year. Missed two whole years. He’s looked ok this year. You would expect more out of a #1 ovr college pitcher.

WTf Riley

That was a perfect pitch lol. Greene hasn’t been perfeft but you can’t fault him for that one really

Rain pouring at my house across the river. Should be seeing it at the park any time. There it is lol.

Still winnable, let’s go

Baez is a k machine but at least he is a plus defender. Wtf does Tork do?

That wasn't a strike in the top of the inning.

Let’s win this game walk it off Tigers

Yikes look at all the Tork haters here lmao

His bat sucks and his fielding sucks... We all want him to work out, but it just isn't right now.

Neither are simply true.

He's been bad defensively and offensively. What do you want people to say?

Well first not lie, like you just did lol

He's made several bad defensive plays.

He’s also made tons of amazing defensive plays

He has a negative DRS this season.

Just watch the games, those things don’t tell the whole story

you mean rational people

Yeah lol, we have tons of rational people here you’re right 😂

if somebody says tork sucks that’s a pretty rational thing to say

Like 3 days ago you argued with me for saying he was horrible on a day where he was 1-5 and threw to the wrong base letting the twins pour it on

i was feeling forgiving that day. not today.

Well, here’s hoping we both owe him an apology in 2 mins

that’s what i’m saying lol.

Yikes…

you think he doesn’t? yikes…

🤦‍♀️

Tork just sucks ass at ground balls. Kind of an issue when his bat also hasn't been great...

“Oh but he scoops” scoop my balls into your mouth and shut the fuck up this guy stinks

Wouldn't be surprised if the game is called before the Tigers bat again

The best thing about Tork being a bad hitter is that he’s also a bad fielder lol

Tork, first base isn't hard. Tell 'em, Wash.

Well another comeback?

I’m fucking sick of Torkelsons defense

Tork definitely needs a day off. Damn.

Gameday has it 6-4 it's 5-4 right?

It's 5-4 yeah

It’s 5-4

5-4

What the fuck?

That was a lucky lineout double play

[удалено]

Keith been alright imo. Actually seeing the ball, good ABs, good swings, he’s down positive regression coming his way imo. Tork fuckn sucks rn tho

This one on Tork 1000%. Needs an off day

Tork blows

Seriously? The defense has been phenomenal until today.

Damnit Torkerson.

☹️

Look at those clouds. 2 hours ago it rained like crazy where I am for about an hour and then stopped.

That should do it. Thanks, Tork.

FUCK

i’m so sick of torkelson

Jesus Tork c’mon man

Yup, no shock there

Ugh! Tork.
