finally a laugher, we can all relax

Might we see a position player pitch for the Tigers?

Hopefully this is the first blowout in god knows how long. 

The first one since the last time we played in Detroit lmao

When's the last time Harrison had a multi-hit game? 

Interestingly, it was 2019 when he was with Detroit.

Mendick getting the 2021 Jose treatment now.

Really liking AJ in the leadoff spot. 

I would not mind going 

AJ, Vaughn, TA, Abreu.  1-2-3-4 

Not a good at-bat for AV.

Swinging at crap again.

Jeez Luis.  

Robert needs to be more dangerous than that

If Robert could just cut out those type of AB's where he's randomly just noncompetitive - it would go a long way for him. 

Lange figured out our right handed hitters can't hit his slider.

The only problem is that TA is way better with the bases empty than with men on. I don't really see him ever leaving the leadoff spot because of that.

Then clearly we should put either TA or AJ in the 9 spot.

You know - the "other" leadoff spot.

Our production in the 9 spot is some of the best in baseball. Every other spot other than leadoff has been pretty bad though. 

At least Vaughn has locked in that 2 spot for now and he's produced well in it. Before he was there regularly, the production from it was an absolute shit show. 

Holy shit Yoan re-learned how to hit

Only bad part about a Sox blowout is that Bennetti and Stone get on their goofy joke bullshit

Good thing we didn't give Yoan away. 

lol Meadows

Tiger's pitching sure does cure what ails you.  Too bad the Sox can't face them every game.

From the last 2 ABs alone, it seems like Yoan is no longer trying to pull every outside fastball. He's going with the pitch and it's yielded nice results for him. 

Yoan a triple away from the cycle?  Didn't have that on my bingo card.

I remember dozens of heart attacks here and on twitter when the mighty Tigers acquired the mighty Austin Meadows.

I don't think his batting average would suddenly shrink because of batting 3rd. He would know in that spot if he is just himself he would get a lot of RBI's.

We really aren't even sure if Tim just tryies to pull the ball with men on base or if it's just random that his RISP BA is worse.

This is a triples park, too. Hold on to your butts.
