davisblack Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Another terrible start for Matt Manning today, hopefully he can turn things around soon and get some big league innings this year. In positive news Tork had his first 2 HR game the other day. Also the Tigers future C Dillon Dingler is showing a lot of pop in A+, 2nd in the league in HR with 7. Riley Greene is still playing really well, he should be a well rounded all star caliber player in the future if he keeps working hard.

Riley Greene is still playing really well, he should be a well rounded all star caliber player in the future if he keeps working hard. I am going to the Whitecaps game next Thursday to see Tork and Dingler and Cabrerra. Tork not only is hot hitting bombs, but has a .392 OBP. He isnt getting pitches to hit but is showing great patience at the plate having almost as many walks as Ks. Unfortunately Parker Meadows is having an absolutely awful year.  Some other prospects having solid years are Wencel Perez, Gage Workman, and Daz Cameron.  Also Mize and Skubal seem to be figuring it out after rough starts in the majors. Mize has 6 quality starts in his last 7 games with the other one being a 5 inning 1 run outing which is pretty much a quality start. Skubal brought his ERA down from 6.50 to 4.59 in his last few starts. Finally getting his K rate back to where it was in the minors. Starting to feel a lot more optimistic about the Tigers. Sort of hoping they get one of the Vanderbilt pitchers in the draft this year to add to the rotation as both seem close to MLB ready and will bolster the rotation. Plus most of the bats at the top of the draft are high school kids that will take a few years. If Greene and Tork come up soon and Paredes proves decent, we have a solid core of batters that we can add a free agent or two into the mix and have a solid lineup to go with the pitching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Tork was doing really poorly as recently as last month too. Looking at his current numbers, he must be on an absolute tear right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Went to the Whitecaps game last night and the young guys put on a show. Tork was 3 for 3 with with a double and 2 walks and raised his OBP to .438 and scored three runs. Dingler went 3 for 5 with a double and a run scored and raised his OBP to .403. Daniel Cabrera went 2-4 with a walk and 3 RBI although he did strike out with the bases loaded and no outs. Was a fun night and got me excited for the future of the Tigers lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Looks like I got to West Michigan just in time with both Tork and Dingler moving on to Erie.  https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2021/06/13/detroit-tigers-spencer-torkelson-dillon-dingler-promoted-to-double-a/7679366002/  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Detroit Pistons won the #1 pick in the NBA draft lottery. Big year for Detroit teams rebuilding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t follow it to closely but if I remember they had numerous picks last year so adding the right player could really launch the team.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's interesting. Surely another team could've offered to trade something for him, and I bet the Lions would've listened, considering they'd get nothing for him if he retired. I wonder why that didn't happen. (Or, if talks were had, why they didn't go anywhere.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably could have forced a trade or cut like Favre did just by showing up but he retired instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big year for Detroit teams rebuilding. Exciting times for sure. Cade likely has to be the pick but Jalen Green does fit our roster better if they still believe in Killian Hayes.  Cade and Hayes could co-exist but it would devalue Cade a little if he isnt the primary ball handler. Either way its exciting as we have a chance ata true superstar in Detroit for the first time in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he retires rather than force the issue? Something doesn’t add up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
