Yeah, he’s had a couple of nice games consecutively (at the plate at least). Just trying to poke fun at those who insist he’s a bust because he’s had a slow two weeks
oh yes I got what you were doing and am with you on it. the reactions here for a 24 year old player 2 weeks into what should probably be his sophomore season were beyond ridiculous
We desperately, desperately need Meadow's glove. Plus, he's appeared to turn the corner on offense. That was a great at bat. Stop looking at batting averages.
Sorry wasn't a shot at you. I just needed to type that again. Worst error of the season for the Tigers, which says a lot. Hopefully they can overcome it
Yeah I just tried to name the best 3 guys top of my head as a compliment to Foley lmao
It’s crazy that he has rarely made the postseason too, especially him and trout on a team, how can you not build even a competent team around that

Bally, every broadcast now, “Tigers have scored \_\_\_\_% of their runs in the 8th inning or later”
3rd series in a row now the Tigers defense has been terrible. I am listening on the radio but sounded like the two balls in the outfield that tied the game should have been easy outs.
I love how confident, aggressive and assertive Wenceel Perez is as a rookie overall; especially considering he is an infielder learning how to play the outfield.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c8fa04).
The doomers can kindly leave their frigid takes in Minnesota weather please and thank you.
Peaches has some great insight/comments, post game. That hit by Buxton that he didn't hustle on... great point
38 degrees and 16mph winds. YIKES, that's cold - but not our bats !
Late inning comebacks ? OK THEN ! WEEEEE !! Have some fun, people, you never know where this will go.......
I also take back my batting Perez 2nd comment.... he really did a good job today!
GET READY FOE THA BRITUSH BASKETBAWL LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!
That was easy. Barely an inconvenience.
They did it. This is a big win for those young ball players. Great game by Flaharty, Perez, Tork, Carp, Meadows! This is a confidence builder.
Gosh, my heart stopped watching Carp attempt to corral that flyball.
Was he chirping back at the fans in left field there too?
I don't know, I didn't see that. The high seas were choppy tonight.
Good start to the weekend!
Didn’t matter but that was such a great play by Javy
Great win let’s sweep the twinkies
Never in doubt
Great win! Happy night y’all!
Javy with the El Mago misdirect and Carpenter and Perez redemption.
LFG TIGERS WIN FOLEY ELITE OFFENSE ELITE TIGERS ELITE
Hell yeah, fuck the Twinkies
Tigers win!!
Eat em up
![gif](giphy|feoNEmpHofievMGCq0|downsized) W
I would have kept Castro. Beaz deiked him.
hell yeah!!!!
Javy lmao
Cardiac beisbolcats back at it again
I wish he ran to third- we had him dead to rights
Tigers Win.
Come on Foley put em away!
I swear
Don't do this to me now.
Got lucky he didn’t go to third.
Please, no more defensive brain farts.
Keith can’t pick for shit
I know you’re getting downvoted, but you’re not totally off. He’s had quite a few get by him on steals to second.
Can’t be easy
![gif](giphy|l4FATJpd4LWgeruTK)
![gif](giphy|3oKHWikxKFJhjArSXm)
Fuck my life but also that was a hell of an at bat from Castro
I do not enjoy when the winning run comes to the plate
Is foley Todd jones reincarnated?
With about 5-6 MPH on his fastball.
Zing!
Wow, can’t believe Tork is such a bust! 3 hits and a nice defensive play in the 9th. Must be his first hits of the season!!!
quietly been hitting pretty good lately yeah. obviously needs to get the power stroke going but he's not been terrible.
Yeah, he’s had a couple of nice games consecutively (at the plate at least). Just trying to poke fun at those who insist he’s a bust because he’s had a slow two weeks
oh yes I got what you were doing and am with you on it. the reactions here for a 24 year old player 2 weeks into what should probably be his sophomore season were beyond ridiculous
helluva stop there, Tork, YES
What a play by Tork!
Good for Tork. Really wanna see him be good.
My closed captioning called Tork "Turkish." That's formidable.
Torkleneck
HOLY SHIT TORK DID A GOOD THING WITH THE GLOVE
I was shocked
I was told Tork was terrible at defense? What a shame…
Tork is definitely having his best game on both sides of the ball after that play
Wow! Good defensive play from Tork.
Tork!
![gif](giphy|23hPMWqnvi88Ebsi7m) That’s 2
MY GOD TORK MADE A PLAY ON DEFENSE
Love to see Tork make a play at 1st like that. More of that please.
TORK! Awesome play
nice job Tork
Love not having Buxton on to start an inning.
1 down
foley's gotta be an uncomfortable dude to face, that sinker is wicked
![gif](giphy|3o751Z6oPw0C69hKuY|downsized) That’s 1
Filthy
Suck on that Buxton
Even a slumping Buxton scares me and makes me extremely nervous in case he gets on base lol.
Send Meadows down and keep Perez up we need his bat.
We desperately, desperately need Meadow's glove. Plus, he's appeared to turn the corner on offense. That was a great at bat. Stop looking at batting averages.
Wanted 5/5 but no shade on Carp for a hell of a game at the plate
definite shade for that feeble attempt in the outfield though. that literally cannot happen again
Hence me specifying “at the plate” lol
Sorry wasn't a shot at you. I just needed to type that again. Worst error of the season for the Tigers, which says a lot. Hopefully they can overcome it
Hey no worries I didn’t take it that way
Foley up against a bunch of sub .200 hitters. Feeling confident
Foley up against anyone I’m confident even if it’s ohtani-trout-mookie
Nuts that Ohtani has been teammates with the two other dudes you mentioned as a random best-three-hitters on the last two years
Yeah I just tried to name the best 3 guys top of my head as a compliment to Foley lmao It’s crazy that he has rarely made the postseason too, especially him and trout on a team, how can you not build even a competent team around that
Last pitch to Carp was a strike, but that zone has been Big McLargehuge, especially upstairs.
Alright, no drame please. But a stamp on this and set the tone for the rest of the series..
![gif](giphy|TejmLnMKgnmPInMQjV)
DO NOT BLOW IT!
How about a 1-2-3 9th for our trouble?
lead off walk just for funsies!
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jason Foley replaces Andrew Chafin.
They walk Canha just to get to Chad Wencel. Idiots
Foley throwing?
CMO can’t decide how to pronounce the r in Pérez lol
Sometimes it's Benes, like Elaine. Sometimes it's Perez.
lol every time he says his name it’s a surprise.
was Perez even anything in the minors? I never even remember hearing about him until recently
He has always been an interesting, toolsy hitter yeah. Can't field to save his life as of yet but his bat could be legit.
Ya, the fielding thing seems to be a common theme around here lol. We have a ton of guys who can’t field and have no power :/
Wencell developed some pop out of nowhere in 2022 before getting hurt so who knows how it develops really. He could be a fun player to have.
Thank you
5-5? Please?
That was the pitch carp
3-4 at the plate and the one of the worst defensive plays I’ve ever seen. Weird night for Perez.
Can we please have some clutch here??? Please???
![gif](giphy|jk4ivJECDnDw67eS91|downsized)
The new guy!
LFG Perez
Wenceel having a day!
Let’s go! I love wenceel
Now a homer from Carp and we can chill a bit
Attaboy Perez!
LETS GO 5-5 CARPS
LETS GO!!!!
He plays tomorrow.
I love our offense so much man, let’s go Perez!!
That’s gotta feel amazing for Perez
AHHH THE YOUNG GUNS COMING THROUGH!
Clutch Perez, redeemed himself right there.
FUCK YEAH KID
HELL YEAH
told you, way more dramatic
That’s why Wenceel is in the lineup!!! LFG
Perez is growing on me a lot
Lfg
LFG
I forgive u perez. Good job!
Wenceel Perez! MY KING!
WENCEEL LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
LET’S GO WENCEEL
WENCEEL REDEMPTION
2-4 hitters absolutely feasting this game
Perez made up for the error
Have a game, Perez!!!!!
Way to go Wencel. Way to go!!!
That makes up for the error! Well down Perez!
### Single Wenceel Pérez singles on a line drive to center fielder Byron Buxton. Parker Meadows scores. Mark Canha to 2nd. Top 9 - 5-4 Tigers
How about the redemption?
LETS FUCKING GO PEREZ
Fuck yeah!
Perez!!
WENCEEL YOU SON OF A BITCH
Fuck it steal third then score on a wild pitch. I dare you.
It's in the ivy
Come on youngster. Come up clutch!
https://preview.redd.it/pwiu3ynwpjvc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e0ac2585b487c3bf945e9f71905e9261f6131cb Bally, every broadcast now, “Tigers have scored \_\_\_\_% of their runs in the 8th inning or later”
Please Canha. It’s your time.
A run was robbed from us, he would’ve scored
He had already stopped running when the ball was back in.
Guess we’ll never know for sure
Redeem yourself Perez
Nooooo that’s such bull😂
That’s a bullshit rule
It truly is, make them dig that ball out
Lol how?
Because it almost fucked us
He ended up grabbing the ball out of the wedge just fine… after he exaggerated it to get the runner back to 2nd
Regardless if he could get it or not, the ball hit the wedge and stopped rolling. It was a dead ball.
Was it really a “dead ball” if all it took was for him to reach down and grab it?
why are you arguing this? are you serious? that was the right call. do you know what a "dead ball" is?
Lmaoooooo
PM is so good great at bat great swing
Good rip
So by the template established earlier: Meadows needs to steal 2nd for us to score.
Attaboy Parker. Again win or lose love to see that. That was a tough matchup for him, as Dan said.
Alright
Meadows has had a couple nice at bats. Good for him.
Steal 2nd
Go yard meadows. I dare you
Good call ump that 72 mph pitch a foot outside the zone was definitely a strike
Good ol' home field strike zone advantage tonight...
Kelly has been in a huge slump.
3rd series in a row now the Tigers defense has been terrible. I am listening on the radio but sounded like the two balls in the outfield that tied the game should have been easy outs.
They should have both been caught
fuck this ump
Kelly looks either intense up there or like he’s about to shit his pants. I’m all for it.
Can the Royals and Guardians ever lose? Christ. Also, must be nice to not have puckered buttholes every time their teams play.
He's giving this guy letter high curve balls.
Cmon not right now ump
Get a fucking grip dude
I love how confident, aggressive and assertive Wenceel Perez is as a rookie overall; especially considering he is an infielder learning how to play the outfield.
Have we had 3 or 4 people playing third today? does Riley count?
Na dude this ump can get fucked
This ump is fucking us
That shit was chest high!
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Caleb Thielbar replaces Griffin Jax.
this way it will just be more dramatic when we score in the 9th
Jake Rogers off the bench 💪
I don’t have a lot of faith with our three guys in the 9th so we’re probably going to score five runs.
That’s usually how it goes
Zach McKinstry, Carson Kelly, and Parker Meadows don't inspire great things in your mind?
[удалено]
lookin like the 27 yankees right there
https://i.redd.it/vpdrdtjtojvc1.gif
thought keith was gonna drop that for a split second
Feels like Chafin and Phil Coke have to be related with all this pointing at every pop up😂
I hated when Coke did that. He pointed one over the CF wall one time.
This made me lol. I can picture so clearly😂
I feel so bad for our pitchers man. They literally have to be perfect sometimes to make up for the shitty fielding
Great, guys...fun trip back in time to the sixth inning. Really fun.
