Verlander on 15-day injured list...already. Left hip inflammation.
He must've pulled something squatting down to catch Brandon Inge's ceremonial first pitch yesterday.
Keider Montero called up.

Montero took a step forward last year. Not a lights out guy but with good control and defense he's a decent fifth starter.

Tiger bats showed up today, 11-6 in a rain-shortened game called officially in the books with one out in the ninth. Vierling, Carpenter, and McKinstry each had three RBI including HRs. Torres banged another. Everyone scored a run!

It got dicey when repatriated Drew "Gas Can" Anderson came in with the bases jammed, only to yield a grand salami to cut a big lead to 7-6.

Flaherty showed good stuff, but lacked command. He only lasted four innings and left the bases loaded with no outs in the fifth for Anderson.

It's definitely time to give Montero a chance in the regular rotation. Even if he's just a .500 pitcher, he's better than Flaherty and probably better than Verlander.

I lucked out. Wife and I are uber Tigers fans and were going to breakdown and do the yearly $109 annual subscription to Peacock. Clicked on the QR code to subscribe and was offered $5.99 monthly subscription price for 6 months. Needless to say, I subscribed

Montero looked good for four innings then struggled in the fifth. Hinch gave the quick hook and the bullpen coughed it up.

Lost in Minneapolis 7-3. The Tigers had all three runs in the 4th inning. Four hits all game. A 30 degree night in Minnesota is great for baseball...

The Tigers should feel thankful for the UM basketball win, which probably took a lot of attention away from this miserable game.

I just checked the box score - 12,500+ in paid attendance. Watching the game, it looked like there was about half that many in the stands. I’m guessing that they 1) wished they were still playing under a dome or 2) wished they would’ve canceled the game and played a doubleheader as it’s going to warm up as the week goes on

Another starter knocked out in the fifth, this time it’s Skubal. Other than McGonigle, bats couldn’t get key hits despite nine total.

[SD45]

That 6-0 Twins lead in the first should say enough for tonight.

My sports predictions haven't been very good lately, but I'm still gonna make 'em.

Here's my Tigers prediction:
They'll fail to make the postseason and will win 78 to 83 games this season.

I could see this happening. What’s your prediction on Skubal?

Do they deal him? If so, what’s their return? I can’t imagine the Dodgers/Yanks/whoever unloading their absolute best prospects for him if he gets dealt at the deadline. Maybe someone in their top 3-5 prospects, but I don’t see any team dealing with #1 or #2 prospects at this point.

They made an effort, but it’s hard to be down six runs and come back to win. Valdez was extremely hittable early on.

Jahmai Jones is 0-10. As a bench guy without a solid track record, he could be sent to Toledo if he doesn’t pull out of this. Of note: Max Clark is destroying the ball down there. Obviously, he wouldn’t be coming up to sit on the bench.
