I really don’t get Mercedes on the bench today, but oh well

Because Collins is apparently Giolito's catcher and TLR didn't want to take Grandal's bat out of the lineup.

Have to keep it within 2 and then get in to that Tiger bullpen.

No Leury? Mendick is playing CF lmao

Mendick in CF is a thing that’s currently happening

Naw he’s a bum

Skubal has ace upside

Catcher, shortstop and centerfield defense as or more important than batting considerations, IMO.

Collins should catch Rodon and Giolito, their performance far more important than fretting about a few at bats.

Vaughn-Mendick-Lamb OF? Woof...

Better not give up anything in the air.

The last 4 in this lineup today is as offensively challenged as you can get 

Literally missing 4 of the 9 guys that should be on it

Tell me about it. This is probably the worst defensive OF in baseball.

gio at 92, not great.

Come on TA, get to the bag there.

Not sure that positioning by tim there

jesus christ

lol stone really loves throwing guys under the bus on line drives behind them at 1st, not sure what he could have done there.

Giolito is way too inconsistent this year. Fastball velocity down. 

Ball don’t lie!

Tigers young pitching is gonna be a problem.

Something is finally going right for them.

Not gonna lie..... Skubal is nasty, him and Mize will be a nice 1-2 for the Tiggers

he's not swinging jason, good lord..

Is this pitcher a strikeout artist? We have 9 k's thru four. Or lineup is mostly a slappy lineup today and not a power lineup which you would expect to strike out more often. What gives?
