*Riley Greene extremely loud and coherent f-bomb after flying out*
Jason Benetti- “and you can hear his disappointment….oh, how lucky that we are a cable network”
Colt Keith and Riley Greene have the same batting average.
Colt Keith raised his batting average 60 points in just about 3 months.
He’s the real deal. And he’s ours🤩
The best part of my day was *finally* not being mistaken for a student 😎 day 1 of year 2 is in the books and I’ve already got writing prompts about Brennan Boesch brainstormed & ready
did not expect to be MIA on this account for so long, but sometimes life throws you curveballs..but today is FINALLY a homer instead of a strikeout (honestly tho life has been more like a slow tapper to third that I don’t beat the last 2 months) because IT’S

According to Dan Dickerson, you’re not ‘in the playoff picture’ unless you meet two criteria:
1) you’re above .500
2) you’re within 5 games of a playoff spot
Tigers are two games above .500 and 4.5 games out of the AL Wild Card
The hunt is on🤩🤩🤩🤩
I MISSED THIS FEELING!!!!!
Been absolutely drowning in teaching and haven’t felt rested or relaxed in at least two weeks….but thank you to whoever is subbing for me AGAIN today so I can be here🫶🏻 a literal dream come true

If you were at Game 1 of this Tigers/Angels doubleheader, replace your disdain for the Tigers offense w/ awe for the greatness that is Shohei Ohtani & be grateful that you witnessed his first career complete game. You were just in the presence of an all-time pitching performance
The entirety of the draft is more important than you might think!!!
• Skubal is a 9th round pick
• Reese Olson was a 13th rounder
• Kerry Bonds was drafted in the 19th round
our future stars can be anywhere
Thank God Lorenzen isn’t pitching this inning tho because then his one inning would be overshadowed by David Ortiz talking nonstop and as Tigers fans we don’t need that to happen again

on the topic of the inevitable Matt Manning discourse that gets brought up whenever a SP gets put on the IL….we can all agree that we’d rather see him in the rotation over Maeda, can’t we?
Disclaimer: this is not supposed to be a to be controversial take, so please don’t make it that 🥹
My takeaway from E-Rod being mic’d up with Bally during the 2nd inning: he looked really smiley and content and happy. that’s it. he’s a Tiger so I’m happy that he’s happy. 🧡💛
a rough week of hard decisions and situations coupled with the Tigers playing subpar baseball should make for a crummy & self-loathing Friday night…but walked out of my apartment to the most beautiful surprise…MI folks, they’re out!!! get outside!! go see them!!🩷🩷
I hate Angel Hernandez more than anyone on planet Earth. I don’t trust anything he says and never will. if it WAS foul, this still will not change my mind. all my homies hate Angel
scrolling thru the TL on my way home & there have been constant goosebumps all over for the last hour reliving the moments that just happened. to witness that in person is something I will carry to my grave. 13-year old me grew up today. thank u to my fav. legends never die

Detroit Tigers players: from the bottom of our hearts, as a collective fanbase, we are BEGGING you to get your shit together and win a few more games, so that the last month of Miguel Cabrera’s historic career is not overshadowed by ineptitude.

Criticize Dan’s calls tonight, but don’t disrespect him..don’t threaten his job.. that’s just undeserved. his coaching style has changed the culture & made its mark forever. there are no players screaming blame at him tonight. they’re planning how they’ll win this game next year.
Only the Detroit Tigers can throw a no-hitter against a team eight games above .500 two days after losing a series to one of the worst teams in recent baseball history.😭
Thankful for 2023 because it’s the year I decided to join Tigers Twitter!!! 700 followers later and I’ve met & interacted with SO many incredible people, and I can’t imagine Detroit sports season’s without this community, through alllll the ups & downs. here’s to 2024!🎊🫶🏻
As someone who’s only followed football for two years….is this what it’s always felt like to be a Lions fan? After this one game I literally feel like I could puke, but a whole lifetime of this?….you’re all soldiers in ways I couldn’t comprehend before tonight
I am a firm believer that the power of love propelled this 2024 Tigers team to the postseason. You can’t just have half of your team get engaged in the offseason and NOT have something magical come of it 😭
in love Tigs + gritty Tigs = playoff Tigs
This was the greatest 60 minutes of television I’ve ever watched, and that’s not an exaggeration.
Tigers fans, have tissues handy while watching, once it hits the 12 minute mark, the tears won’t subside…

Insurmountable? Not so fast.
All made Playoffs 👇🏽

Believe.

Riley, Colt, Reese…these kind of games remind you that they’re the guys making the light at the end of the tunnel for Tigers baseball seem just a liiiiiittle bit closer.🫶🏻🫶🏻
This was the best win of the season, IMO. The most unexpected way to begin the game and basically tell the bullpen ‘you guys gotta get ready to pitch to the top ranked hitting team in the game’ and they KILLED it, and the offense put numbers up
I’m so sorry to put this possibility out there as the thought has already made me teary eyed…but what if this the last Miggy three-hit night Comerica Park will ever see
the main reason that society needs to pay teachers more is because I have now missed four Tigers games in a row due to working two jobs and I feel the joy of living being slowly sucked out of me (this is a slight exaggeration Elon Musk please don’t flag this)
@TigersJUK
He just looks like he wants to cry and that’s so frustrating. he clearly did not want to be out there half as long as he was. it became obvious pretty quickly that he was mentally checked out, and still no change was made. these runs should not fall entirely on his shoulders☹️
Tigers losing on Independence Day was kinda unpatriotic of them ngl….but today feels like a good day for a dub❤️🔥 E-Rod’s gonna be lights out, I can just feel it.
#RepDetroit
I will forever root for the Detroit Tigers.
A couple years ago, I could see the vision of the future. Then I lost that vision.
Now, it’s BACK, and I honestly believe the core coming together is the right core.
In today’s episode, I talk all about it:
