They keep winning series and staying out of losing streaks. 6 games up in the division and headed to Chicago for 4.I always forget this forum even exists. It’s going to be a fun summer huh?

Also was great seeing a playoff atmosphere in June...it's been years.Another series win vs a high quality ball club in the Cubs. Flaherty was really snapping the ball in and Kahnle/Vest finished the job.
Good to get those out of way. The rest of the schedule could play out well if they continue to avoid rainouts. Fewer double headers to tax this sometimes fragile pitching staff.The Tigers have had 2 grueling stretches where they played 23 games in 24 days. They went 15-8 in one and 14-9 in the other. Pretty damn impressive.
Ask and ye shall receive. Skubal pitching lights out these days. This time one walk vs 13 strikeouts. And Greene is really raking it on offense.Hoping the ace comes up with another gem tomorrow night.
Baez starting in the All-Star game is one of the most unbelievable stories in my life as a sports fan.As a Cubs homer, I am tremendously happy for Javy Baez and his selection as an All-Star starter.
He was a beloved member of the 2016 team. I was sad to see him traded away but that trade brought back Pete Crow-Armstrong. I know he has had struggles, but it is great to see him battle back and prosper for the Tigers.
Congrats El Mago.
The bubble burst today. Enns got hammered.Tigers get a series win but the bigger story is their reclamation project that started the game. Almost 4 years between major league starts,
Dietrich Enns looked very impressive throwing 5 innings of one hit ball.
Well it was a nice story while it lasted.The bubble burst today. Enns got hammered.
Welcome back Olson needed him today. Don’t want the Indians getting ideas. Tigers are going to look at some pitching help before the trade deadline.Well it was a nice story while it lasted.The bubble burst today. Enns got hammered.
Cleveland up next, always a tough matchup for Tigers it seems. Olson-Mize-Skubal on the mound for this series.
They definitely need a couple of late inning bullpen arms. Kahnle has been getting hammered lately so there is a lot of concern there. Vest can't do it by himself.They look like a team that lost focus the last week before the break and were planning their vacation a little too early. They also look like a team that could use an infusion of talent to bolster what they have, especially in the bullpen.
But having said that, they really did have a great first half, lots of players many of us had given up on stepping up big. A double digit lead in the division and the best record in baseball. I don't recall anyone predicting that. Now it's up to the players and management to keep it up when in counts down the stretch.
Every time I watch Kahnle pitch his stuff look so mediocre at best. Would never trust him late in a big game. Throw a change 75% of the time and when it hangs it is like batting practice.They definitely need a couple of late inning bullpen arms.
