Does that mean 19-143? Seems reasonable.

Miguel Cabrera's bat is every bit as quick as it ever was. Lower body is back into the swing. Going to have a very Cabrera-like year.

63-99?

An opening day to remember.

The Tigers have put their new bullpen cart to use. It's currently on the tarp to weigh it down with storms approaching.

Buck Farmer just came on for the Tigers and decided against using the Motor City Casino bullpen cart. Cart instead delivered his jacket to the dugout. Jacket might end up pitching the way this game is going.

Detroit suffers a 6-0 loss to O's. Artie Lewicki and Mike Gerber were Tigers the last time they scored a run.

sean spicer was press secretary the last time chris tillman won a game

obama was president the last time he went seven innings

Candelario to wear wrist guard when on base

Daniel Norris was pulled in the third with a tight groin. Sexiest injury update ever.

(Cabrera also ailing)

Ailing (elsewhere) Cabrera to DL; Young Fassbinder back.

Hell of a headline/photo combination.

Not-quite-fundamentally-sound method of scoring from first on a single.

fired for making "insensitive comments" towards a team employee

some tweets calling it "racist language"

At least one media outlet referring to it as "racially charged"...of course.

"Spider Monkey is not a nickname I have been called or I'm familiar with," Stumpf told the Free Press.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/06/29/detroit-tigers-daniel-stumpf-has-no-knowledge-nickname-spider-monkey/745775002/

Lost in the racist pitching-coach bullshit: the Tigers had the same record after 81 games as they did in 2017. GARDY IS A GENIUS F U AUSMUS.

Before you ask, Tigers' last 12-game losing streak was in 1996. They had two of those that year. Todd Van Poppel and current bullpen coach A.J. Sager took losses during the last streak.
