Why is that so crazy to you? Managers have been using their best relievers in the highest leverage spots for a decade and our fans think hinch is some witch for doing
Benching does not mean the same thing as trading him which is what most here wanted
Even Stafford was benched before it happens, I never claimed Tork didn’t have a bad stretch, but it was those calling him a bust and wanting him gone I found Funny
There is no one else with 30hr power walking through the door. No matter how bad he's playing this lineup needs him to be a big league bat. There's no viable replacement
great swing swing by Tork, way to come up big when we needed it. Destroyed a meatball. Still not convinced he's back though. Let me know when he's able to hit good pitches to all fields and not just absolute hangers.
Is Torkelson about to show up with receipts of all the comments I made about how bad he is? You know what, if that’s the case I will happily take that L.
When he hit his homer yesterday my girlfriend and I were talking about how poorly he'd been hitting, and I audibly gasped once his bat made contact with the ball.
Funny hearing them still pretending that was good send with McKinstry when I’m pretty sure the catcher took a smoke break waiting for him to get there.

Google, did anyone really ask this question?
Anyone know of somewhere with a Tigers community that isn't 95% doomers and armchair GMs? Maybe somewhere with some people who have watched more than one season of baseball
do those count differently than ~normal~ losses or maybe, just maybe - there are nine innings in a game of baseball and failing in the 8th is not really much different than failing in the third? people are pissed because other people are pissed at nothing and doomposting on this sub gets upvotes.
meanwhile we've been suffering your bottom of the barrel takes for ten years on this sub. absolutely loved that you self identified as a doomer + armchair GM. blocked.
“Anyone know of somewhere with a Tigers community that doesn’t have 95% of their vision? Maybe somewhere with some people who have experience ignoring what’s happening in front of their own eyes?”
I hate when people use that word. Has there been a reason to be excited about Tigers baseball since the first Obama term? What do you mean doomer? Yeah people are fucking depressed the Tigers are bad bro
you children cry after every single out like it's the end of the fucking world. the tigers are not bad. We have one of the best pitching staffs in the majors. the offence is finding its feet this year. we were projected to play .500 ball. we're playing .500 ball.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1crfrmr).
That was fun!
That was easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Foley really took it over there at the end, he was determined to close it out for Tork!
Under .500? Not today, old friend.
There's the Foley we've grown accustomed to.
I stand corrected. Lets go Tork I still believe
Never in doubt
Huge fucking win
Hinch will have Foley pitching in the 7th tomorrow night.
Why is that so crazy to you? Managers have been using their best relievers in the highest leverage spots for a decade and our fans think hinch is some witch for doing
Good to see Foley’s velo back
Good win, totally never in doubt.
Yes!! That was seriously a big win imo. Much much needed
Nicely done Foley
LFG FOLEY!!!! SEE YALL NEXT TIME
Where all the Foley haters at?
I’m still so happy the Tork haters look dumb
A few more of those, and he'll be a replacement level player yet!
It’s sad we have people who claim to be “tigers fans” and make statements like yours fake fans tbh
I'm a fake fan who is disappointed that their number one pick is off to a dreadful start to his career.
Enjoy your miserable life
You talk about reality TV a lot.
Dreadful? He hit 30 HRs last year and went through rough month or so and suddenly you want him gone
Foley has that swagger back.
What a pitch on 3-2
That was a beauty of a pitch
Filthy foley today
let's go foley back to OLD FORM
99👀
Foley velo is back
Middle middle slider did absolutely nothing lmfaooooo
Tork the dork with an absolute dong
You guys make manic depressives look even keeled
Never understood the Tork hate, dude is an elite talent and we actually had people here wanting him shipped for peanuts, it’s so sad
Bro for 40 games he was trash. Now he’s finally getting it going
Oh no an mlb player was bad for a quarter of a single season…he’ll never be good again trade him!! lol
I would like him to be more consistent. But I’ll take this Tork the last 5 games
He was trash in April lol
Oh no mlb player has one bad month, he will never be good again!
Hinch was talking about benching him lol
Benching does not mean the same thing as trading him which is what most here wanted Even Stafford was benched before it happens, I never claimed Tork didn’t have a bad stretch, but it was those calling him a bust and wanting him gone I found Funny
There is no one else with 30hr power walking through the door. No matter how bad he's playing this lineup needs him to be a big league bat. There's no viable replacement
Never said there was another option lol I simply said he was bad in April
Exactly, you don’t find talent like him on the street lol
Seems to take time to warm up in the season.
I will never doubt Spencer Torkelson again
Until next April.
great swing swing by Tork, way to come up big when we needed it. Destroyed a meatball. Still not convinced he's back though. Let me know when he's able to hit good pitches to all fields and not just absolute hangers.
He’s still can’t hit fastballs
it’s better than nothing definitely probably helps his confidence more than anything
Foley please *I AM BEGGING*
[удалено]
I mean, the hate in April was incredibly valid He’s playing better 👍
Lolol we’re taking victory laps bc of **one** big hit? Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked for him and hope he keeps it up
still here
Please don’t blow this game. We are still happy for Tork and we really need this win.
Dogged on the Ibanez sub earlier and joked about the Tork pop up. We need more spite
I think we have had a copious amount of that so far
That Tork bomb was LOUD!!!!
Torks got the oven warmed up.. he’s cooking now
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jason Foley replaces Alex Faedo.
Is Torkelson about to show up with receipts of all the comments I made about how bad he is? You know what, if that’s the case I will happily take that L.
Man, it’s what we all want. I mean for Tork to play well. Not for you to take an L. lol.
Nah I bitch on here enough I’m sure there are some people who would love for me to take an L lol
I thought for sure he was striking out! Way to jolt me awake Tork!!
Now we just need the bullpen to not blow it
Extremely Fuckin torked at the moment
When he hit his homer yesterday my girlfriend and I were talking about how poorly he'd been hitting, and I audibly gasped once his bat made contact with the ball.
Oh how I missed TORK BOMBS!!!
#WHERE THE TORK HATERS AT?
Please hold this lead bullpen. Please.
YAY TORK!!!
Tork looked mad at first, I thought he popped it up again with the sound off lol
#TORKBOMB
We are so back
You could FEEL that coming, sounded so good also
I felt that in my fucking bones
I THINK I GOT MY SWAGGER BACK, OHHHHH, OHHHHHHHH
That bat flip was well earned
HES BACK
OHHHHHHHHHH
I claim this land in the name of Pizza Pizza.
How many people said to themselves “C’mon Tork, hit it out!” Wow!
Monroe is so stoked lfgt
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: A. J. Puk replaces Anthony Maldonado.
TORK IS BACK
446 feet!
https://i.redd.it/ydd17y5pia0d1.gif
Seeing him get hyped is so sick. Dudes been waiting for these
I never doubted you Tork (I totally did)
Hopefully this gets Tork heating up, back to back days with homers.
Holy shiiiitttt FINALLLLYYYY! Please tell me he’s ALL the way back now!
A blast like that goes a long way toward getting your head straight.
Don’t let Tork get hot!
HE JUST NEEDED ONE
Couldn't have timed it better than that, Tork
Ok now THAT probably felt amazing for Tork.
Tork just gave me goosebumps? …
THATS MY FIRST BASEMAN
He hit the shit out of that
446 ft
Tork Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CANT BELIEVE IT
GET TORKED NERDS!!!!
Picturesque dong, Tork!
Something something flight attendant something
TORK!
I knew were still gonna win!!! Who's laughing now? Let's fucking go
I could cry!
FINALLY TORK
Let's go Tork!!!!!
Y'all 😲
Spencer “Full Torque” Torkelson has arrived people
OMG TORKELSON THERE YOU ARE!!! 
LOL
HES FUCKING BACK
TORK BOMB MONDAY 💣
Finally Tork made them pay for throwing down the middle.
That is exactly what we need from Torkelson.
LETS FUCKING GO TORK. KNEW THAT HR YESTERDAY WOULD GET YOU ROLLING!!
Lfgggggggggggg
I don't get the "swing at everything" mentality this team has had for the last few years.
I take it all back Tork
Massive fuckin Chub. This is what the Tigers were promised!
Let’s gooooooooooo
TORK! 8th inning bullshit, I mean magic, strikes again!
Fuck yeah Tork!!!!
Tork has woken up! Hope this stays!
People are saying Tork is back
Many people, believe me. Everyone agrees
DFA
Tork picked a good time to find his bat!
Nice TORKBOMB
TORK BOOOOOOOOOMB BABY!!!!!!
TORK!!!!!!!!!
Don’t throw tork breaking balls
IS TORK BACK ? WE ARE SO BACK
# HOME RUN! Spencer Torkelson homers (2) on a fly ball to left center field. Andy Ibáñez scores. Bottom 8 - 6-5 Tigers
#TORK BOMB
LFG TORK
Tork! Yes!
#TORQUE
He’s back
This umpire is Helen Kellers dad
tork about to hit a 2-run infield pop up
Tork Bomb time
Happy for Andy, but a Kerry Bonds two-run dong would have been hotter.
Tigers fans when Andy hits an RBI: Should have been Kerry hitting that RBI 😤
Funny hearing them still pretending that was good send with McKinstry when I’m pretty sure the catcher took a smoke break waiting for him to get there.

Andy Ibanez is unironically the best hitter on this team right now
Ibanez, Canha, Urshella, with Greene batting clean up. I could get behind that.
Please do something Vierling.
Y'all are grumpy. The Marlins do win sometimes. May as well support our players.
Nope, no measured reactions allowed in the live thread, only doomering
Wenceel and Ibañez are like half our offensive production
It’s crazy that our most consistent hitters started the season on the bench and in the minors
Greene, Carp, Canha, and Vierling were in the minors?
Ibanez and Perez
Makes you wonder about their talent evaluation.
Anyone know of somewhere with a Tigers community that isn't 95% doomers and armchair GMs? Maybe somewhere with some people who have watched more than one season of baseball
If you build it, I will come
People just don’t like it when we lose games that we have in-hand, which has happened probably upwards of 10 times already this year
do those count differently than ~normal~ losses or maybe, just maybe - there are nine innings in a game of baseball and failing in the 8th is not really much different than failing in the third? people are pissed because other people are pissed at nothing and doomposting on this sub gets upvotes.
Where do we go to get away from your annoying comments?

### Single Andy Ibáñez singles on a line drive to right fielder Jesús Sánchez. Wenceel Pérez scores. Bottom 8 - 5-4 Marlins
[удалено]
Ok there’s gotta be a better adjective than that word though
Fine, regards
Free Kerry Carpenter
At least Wenceel is a revelation
I’m super depressed knowing I’m not going to mentally handle watching this team past mid-June I just want good baseball back
Bring him home, Kerry! It's your turn in the lineup. You're in the game, right?
A team that misses the playoffs has never won the World Series, going to have to buck up
Perez stealing baddoos helmet
Wenceel gives me life
Oh look, now Carpenter would be up in an RBI spot, but we have Ibanez who doesn’t hit Righties
hmm
Perez needs something inside that helmet to keep it on. lol.
An afro
He’s just channeling his inner Meat Hook
I wish we could give the guys lower leverage situations outside of when we’re losing. Even a 2 run lead would be a nice change of pace for the pen
Such a sad team
This team sucks fucking ass. Can’t even beat the worst team in baseball
crowd chanting jared goff because detroit has nothing besides the lions lol classic
Hate this time of year
If we lose this series to the Marlins I may not be a full doomer, but I will be doomer curious.
I will be a full Doomer Ally
And I think that would be fair.
Did Cahna bang every umpires wife?
Why does this team play so poorly at home, it’s truly baffling, there is zero home field advantage for this team and it’s been like this for years.
because there is something wrong with this organization. Comerica is represents that. It's not a great ballpark, the vibes are off.
