Nice pitchers duel between Severino and Taillon, both pitching into the 8th

2019 Flaherty making an appearance against his former team…13 K’s in 6 innings so far.

Gibson has a nice line himself, but is in line for the loss. 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K

Potentially joining the Miles Mikolas school of hard-luck losers.

Edit: He's off the hook as the Cards tie in the 9th off another former Cardinal Shelby Miller. And a sac fly gives the Redbirds the lead.

And the offense sputters again. Cmon man

couple fun facts from the Tigers/Cards doubleheader


Flaherty tied the AL record by striking out the first 7 batters of the game, ended up with 14 Ks and 0 runs allowed... tigers lost anyway


game two, Wenceel Perez, top Tigers international signing from 8 years ago is finally getting a chance even though he's been held back by the yips, but he's the only healthy guy left on the 40 man who can play multiple positions, yips or not


so anyway, he's the first Tiger since '96 to hit a HR from both sides of the plate in his first career 50 PAs, then he hit another to become the first Tiger since V Mart six years ago to hit a HR from both sides of the plate in the same game


That's a great start for him! not counting on him to keep it up, but hey, he'll always have that

Unless I miss something Uribe seems like a punk, should get a decent suspension to cut this out right away in his young career.

What a weird game

[Sportsforever]

Just saw the Trout news...watching greatness be devastated by injuries over the last 5 years is maddening. He hasn't played a full season since 2016 and the sad thing is that even when he plays now, he's not what he was...his average is .220 this year and he's turned into a low average power hitter at this point. In fact, this season his career average has dipped below .300 and I doubt we'll ever see it above that line again. I always love a good 300/400/500 career out of a player...
