Lack of sticky stuff = less carry. If you don't have high velo like Lucas, late movement is the only way you can strike guys out on the pitch consistently.

Another hanging slider.

Detroit has given Lucas trouble cause they straight up sit on his change up and just flick it into the OF in 2 strikes counts.

Greene actually missed it. That ball should have been hit 450 feet.

Ump sucks, but why put yourself in that position against a guy who doesn't have a ML hit?

We've probably had more SAC flies today than we've had in the past month.

Did Yoan just hurt himself again?

He would have been out if the Tigers catcher could catch.

Nice job Leury

I mean what pitcher wouldn't be pissed? That's a fairly routine catch for a ML outfielder and Eloy didn't even come close. Lucas got screwed that inning by the umpire and Eloy.

Also, great job not playing Engel in CF Tony. I predicted that would happen last night after Robert got hurt and here we are and it costs us 3 runs.

That whole inning escalated cause Lucas and Grandal got cute to the 7th hitter after having him 0-2. Just throw the damn fastball by him if he doesn't go after 1 change up. Instead they depended on the ump to call a close pitch on a full count. Just fucking stupid.

What the hell Eloy?

That escalated quickly.

Lucas is getting squeezed

I remember when we beat the snot out of KC and Detroit back in 2020. Back when we were actually good.

If the contact the Tigers had in the 1st is any indication of what they're gonna do today, Lucas is gonna get hit around.

Jose got a meatball too.

Terrible situational hitting yet again. Jose bailed him out by not hitting into a DP.

How can you look at that pitch when you need to make contact there?

Better yet, make him wear a shirt with his triple slash on it. That should be pretty embarrassing.

Can you imagine if Yoan pulled something like that? This board might actually call for him to be stoned.

It took Kopech throwing a no hitter through 6 and using all our best bullpen guys to beat the Tigers on a night where they started a guy with a ERA near 7. That's a win in the standings, but a definite loss to the ego.

No, but Tyler Naquin has 3 homers and a 246 wRC+ since being traded to the Mets. Another miss for Hahn.

Sosa definitely not playing tomorrow.
