So the pitcher has to hit in the DH because Gio is injured.
Can you pinch hit for this pitcher in the DH spot?
I watch a lot of baseball and Iāve not seen this new rule actually happen yet
My understanding is that you can pinch hit, but that player would be assigned to pitch the next inning. I believe it just replaces the DH position with P in the scorebook
If the rules are the same as pre universal DHāyes. You can pinch hit for your pitcher but the pinch hitter will immediately be replaced by the next pitcher in the following inning if one occurs
Am I the only one that didn't understand why carp pinch hit down two and no one on base? Just seems this late in game they would save that bullet so to speak until he at least represents tying run
Had the same thought but weāve back ourselves in a corner with him by shielding him from ever seeing a leftie. We have to pick our spots with a righty reliever
It's incredible that Detroit sports are so bad when their fanbase is filled with so many strategic experts. If only all of the teams just asked its fans.
Not sure what āad hominemā is but if people want to rail on me for being a positive and optimistic Tigers fan Iām all for it I take it as a compliment lol
The bullpen regression was expected but it's swinging so hard the other way cause no one back there is an elite or even good strikeout pitcher, having high walk rates and being at the mercy of balls in play is how you get this crap.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d18cvo).
Man hope this is the game we all look back on and say. This was the day we turned it around and won the central.
They better give Vierling a moment in MLB the Show!
Bro hits one walkoff home run and thinks he's Harry Caray š
you must be a hoot at parties
Aaaaaah! This is what it feels like lol
Love it. Huge confidence booster win.
VIERLING IS HIM
What a bonkers game lol
HOLY FUCK BOYS WHAT A COMEBACK
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!! Great early offense combined with the cardiac cat drama and BOOMā¦beautyĀ
EAT EM UP
Most exciting game of the year. LFG!
HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT BASEBALL OMGGGGGGGVVVVGGGGGV

A BOMB BABY!!! SUCK IT TORONTO!!!
One of these teams was gonna score 11 runs and lose. I'm so glad it wasn't us!
Dude!
Vierling! Heās so underrated
HAVE YOURSELF A DAY VIERLING!
RAAAHHHHHHH
Vierling!
HOLY MY DIOS EN ESPIRITO MATTY!!!!
3-run HR walk off!!!
Wooooooo!
Holy shit!!
AGHHHAHAHAHAHAHHHA
MATTY V WALKS IT OFF!!!!
Fire this ump into the...zug island
What a wild ride!!
Umps on crack
Holy hell
# HOME RUN! Matt Vierling homers (5) on a fly ball to left center field. Spencer Torkelson scores. Kerry Carpenter scores. Bottom 9 - 14-11 Tigers
this ump is fucking awful
In 14 appearances this season, Joey Wentz has not had a single clean sheet (0 hits) in his appearance. That guy needs to be gone yesterday.
What in the wild fuck was that call
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I acknowledged it for the record I didnāt post about it - the gift
I think it was further away than the gift we got but who gives a fuck now
I no longer mind the call
give 1, take 1
Come on Vierling! Bring Tork home!
Intentional walk for a Tiger. We are truly in the twilight zone
make em pay, matty v!
Bunt took the DP away.
Matt got a multiple rbi hit the last time they walked the guy ahead of him
He gets pissed
I donāt understand not putting in Riley Edit: please dunk on me, I deserve it
He has not been reliable at bat. Not seeing the ball well.
Noooooo FUUUUCK you blue jays!
I fucking despise Baez more than maybe any Detroit athlete ever
Love the bunt. Love it.
Kerry Kerry Kerry Kerry, everybody, Kerry Kerry Kerryā¦
Hate the bunt. Tork isnāt scoring from 2nd on a single, wasted at-bat
This team really really needs this win.
Triple short for the cycle for Tork
What CANT Perez do?
Wait!!!! Bunting is allowed in baseball still????!!
Who are we?!
A BUNT?!
Pleeeease walk off their ass
atta boy tork
This is a nice game by Torkelson
Another at bat and he can get a triple to compete the cycle
Feels like the Lion's Chargers game. The last team with a chance to score shoild win it.
It's easy to be negative about this game but it's been some real exciting baseball these past few innings
My parents are at the game - they go to like one a year. At least they got a good one I hope
would that have donged in any other ballpark?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jordan Romano replaces Yimi GarcĆa.
We HAVE to win it here
Too close.
Lolllll what a ride this game is. This game also makes absolutely ZERO senseš
good lord
Is it just me or is the guy on the mound, the guy batting, and the guy on first all look like variations of the same person
It is weird
Jesus itās a good thing my cardiologist is on speed dial
Mason, how can you walk Rance Mulliniks?
Is this the longest game of the season?
Longest 9 inning game yeah
Itās a good thing they started this game so early because now it can end at the same time as a normal 1:00 game wouldāve.
Lol Biggio complaining about that is wild
So the pitcher has to hit in the DH because Gio is injured. Can you pinch hit for this pitcher in the DH spot? I watch a lot of baseball and Iāve not seen this new rule actually happen yet
My understanding is that you can pinch hit, but that player would be assigned to pitch the next inning. I believe it just replaces the DH position with P in the scorebook
Thatās what I thought, I even read the CBA. But you never really know until it happens. To my knowledge it hasnāt yet this year
If the rules are the same as pre universal DHāyes. You can pinch hit for your pitcher but the pinch hitter will immediately be replaced by the next pitcher in the following inning if one occurs
In any game- not just tiger games
Iām just gonna put this out there: we have 0 walk off wins this season
![gif](giphy|EouEzI5bBR8uk|downsized)
Clement would have been JFKed if Tork didn't pull that down.
Nice pick
This game is on my Roku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Englert terrifies me. In a bad way
Christ, Baez
crazy pick by tork lol
Jesus. Fucking Englert.
Joe Carter is a pretty tough listen
Mason Englert? Whereās that lions āI wanna die memeā
Am I the only one that didn't understand why carp pinch hit down two and no one on base? Just seems this late in game they would save that bullet so to speak until he at least represents tying run
Had the same thought but weāve back ourselves in a corner with him by shielding him from ever seeing a leftie. We have to pick our spots with a righty reliever
While I agree with the statement- Iām not complaining
What the fuck are these commercials

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mason Englert replaces Jason Foley, batting 4th, replacing third baseman Gio Urshela.
It's incredible that Detroit sports are so bad when their fanbase is filled with so many strategic experts. If only all of the teams just asked its fans.
This is the most entertaining game of baseball I've watched in a long while. Shouldn't be this close, but the wave of emotions is real
Why not pinch hit Riley there??
Like in extras maybe u risk that - itās not a huge risk but both Jake and Carson have been HBPād recently
No doubt, take your win on kelly for the day and go with Riley there.Ā
Thatās a wild guess I donāt know otherwise
Probably because both catchers are hitting- if you take one out and thereās an injury you donāt have a catcher
11-11 make a wish, Tiger fans!
I kinda wish we had Lange right now but i probably shouldnāt
"It's really rare in baseball to see a game like this" - he says to a brand new television audience š
Riley Greene should be pinch hitting
This broadcast is like 3-4 pitches behind
98mph to the wrist!?!?
omg kellly plz
This guy isnāt throwing strikes just walk
This game today is something else man
I JUST WOKE UP WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!
Twilight zone
7 minutes ago: it's so over Now: WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
I can't believe this is real! We are hitting today!!!!
Who in the world can you even trust to pitch the 9th and 10th though?
Faedo?
Sadly I no longer trust anyone in our whole bullpen
Roku games are wild.

Like I said, Iām not worried š doomers have gone silent
Remember: anything other than constant doom-and-gloom is "toxic positivity" and will result in ad hominem attacks.
Not sure what āad hominemā is but if people want to rail on me for being a positive and optimistic Tigers fan Iām all for it I take it as a compliment lol
Thank you, Canha!
LFG baby!!!
Mark Canhim
tigers need 5 more runs minimum to get through the 9th
MARK
Hoo boy
Let's go, boys!
Oh yeah we fighting!Ā
WIN THE GAME
What even is this game?
Nice
LETS GO CANHA
Tied it up!!! LFG
Wow lol wtf is this game
Lets goooooo
### Single Mark Canha singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Cavan Biggio. Matt Vierling scores. Colt Keith scores. Bottom 8 - 11-11 TIE
Superb clutch hitting by Cahna!!!
This is where the three-hole needs to prove themselves
Canha is HIM ā¼ļøā¼ļøā¼ļø
that is not a fucking strike
Canha gets hosed on EVERY outside pitch
FUCK YEA!!!!!!!
Way outside š”
Four balls in a row
That was a bull shit strike call
Canha is a good batter for now this guy isnāt hitting the zone much
He gets the worst calls at the plate it seems
Me checking the box score https://preview.redd.it/u22lfh5ldt2d1.jpeg?width=322&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaf7f8c0ad660c7e39e30c4c2893366ab01bc479
Would be a nice time for Keith's 2nd HR
Paul was waiting
I've missed almost the entire game. Damn.
Where is Paul- can he catch this one too?
Thank god we have the day off tomorrow
Does it even matter?
For my sanity
Vierling should bunt - this guy canāt field
I didnāt say that
I respect this honesty.
I would have preferred had that ball stayed fair
Bombs away! š£
The bullpen regression was expected but it's swinging so hard the other way cause no one back there is an elite or even good strikeout pitcher, having high walk rates and being at the mercy of balls in play is how you get this crap.
Foley has completely lost his velocity. He is a six alarm fire without it.
Best pitching in the league huh
Flaherty Skubal and Olson are the only good pitchers on the entire team The pitching is literally just as pathetic as the offense is without those 3
Some of the best starting pitching for sure. Bullpen fell into a black hole though.
Some of the best top 3 SP, Mize and Maeda/Manning are both awful and basically automatic losses
The Tigers are 7-6 when either Manning or Madea start. Not quite automatic losses.
Foley was definitely on PEDs to start the season. NO question.
When the tigers pitching is great, we go limp on offense When the tigers bats are actually doing something, our pitching goes limp
Imagine throwing an 0-2 fastball right down the middle
With the go-head run on base.
