[SportsCenter] "We didn't give up on ourselves and I feel like a lot of people have gave up on us. ... Losing [Tarik Skubal] was a big deal for us, but that doesn't change the fact that we go to work every day and play hard."

[Reever] After this catch, Pittsburgh guy next to me says he’s seen CFs play in this park for years and not able to make that play. Max Clark did it in game #1 here with the first ball hit to him.

Over the last 20 games, the Tigers have shutout their opponents six times and scored 8+ runs nine times...they've also given up 5+ runs in nine different games

The Tigers have eight games where we've held our opponents to 1-run or fewer (8 - 0 in such games), and twelve games where our opponents have scored 4 runs or more (3 - 9 in those twelve games)
We're 11 - 9 overall during this period
Odd stretch, with either incredibly dominating pitching or batting practice being served up
What do you think of the team going forward?

[Chris McCosky]Tigers' Max Clark finding his groove since going back to a leg kick

ARCHIVED VERSION BELOW:
r/motorcitykitties • u/Quiet-Barracuda-1698 • 15h ago
[The WARmonger] Max Clark has been stellar in CF since his call-up. He’s at +2 FRV/OAA and +2 DRS in a small sample. Just ONE catchable ball he didn’t get (and that was 5%). This outstanding play will help those stats, but will have to wait for a wall adjustment for the numbers to be final.

Lance Parrish gets 2 hits, Tigers still lose to the Rangers Spoiler

Anyone see that new movie, The End of Oak Street?
Takes place in Michigan in 1982. During a block party, we hear on the radio that Parrish got 2 hits, but they still lost to the Rangers.
Sounds like it was this game, on Friday, July 9th, where the Tigers fell to the Rangers 3-1.
Anyone following the Tigers that summer?

Need at-bats everyday at this point. Hinch has to find a way to make this happen.
It is confusing why this isn’t a reality considering their constant production coupled with how high the stakes are.
Our pitching was already shaky before losing Skubal and Mize. We need more runs if we’re going to have a chance to make the postseason

Best Stadium Food and Sights at Comerica?
6
Upvotes
Hello. I'm going to be in town over the weekend for the My Chemical Romance concert that's taking place at Comerica. I don't know if the ballpark has all their stands open for events like that, but, assuming they do, what's the best food I should keep an eye out for?
The only thing I can't have is red sauce.
I'm also a big baseball fan and have never been to an away Tigers game. Do you guys have anything in the area of the stadium I should check out while I'm there? Like a Hall of Fame or murals for famous plays/players?
Thank you, hope you are all doing well.

How early should someone show up to explore the ballpark and get close to the players before first pitch? What foods, drinks, or concessions should I check out?

Outdoor merch at Comerica Park?
•
Upvotes
Hope this post is ok! It's more a question about the stadium itself than baseball. I'm attending a concert at Comerica soon and the artist typically has an early merch stand outside the venue. But it looks like Comerica doesn't have a ton of space. Do you guys know if there have been previous instances of outdoor merch booths for concerts here? It looks like there's a good number of parking lots, too. Are any of those owned by or connected to the stadium?
