9th inning Will Vest is the superior Will Vest. Another good win for the Tigers tonight. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

I get he lost the ball in the lights, but Kerry still has to make that play. Would’ve scored the run either way, but you cannot give Seattle extra outs. They will burn you every time. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Twice now the Tigers have taken a one-run lead, and twice now Troy Melton has failed to hold it. He simply has to be better than that. Got to have shutdown innings after your team takes the lead. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Who does Zack Short have pictures of? I just don't understand what possible value he brings to this team that warrants keeping him on the roster above a Hao-Yu Lee. He doesn't hit and can't really field the ball, so what is it? Just doesn't make sense at all. #RepDetroit

[Chris McCosky @cmccosky]

Hao-Yu Lee optioned to Triple-A Toledo for Gleyber Torres

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Glad to be wrong, this time. Much needed win for the Tigers tonight. Do it again tomorrow and get a series win. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Couldn’t get any insurance runs, so Will Vest has to take a one-run lead to the ninth, already having thrown 26 pitches in that debacle of an eighth inning. I don’t have a good feeling about this one. #RepDetroit

Wenceel Perez needs to stop swinging for the fences every damn at-bat. He just has zero plate discipline right now. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Somehow Vest got out of that with the lead, an absolute disaster of an inning there. Hinch needed a quicker hook on Brieske. Can’t allow that inning snowball that way. You do Vest no favors bringing him into bases loaded, one out. Get a couple of those runs back now. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Tigers’ infield defense has completely gone to sleep in this inning. Should have been over in that ground ball, and Lee just booted it. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Leave it to Will Vest to blow a five run lead in the eighth inning. Tork absolutely needed to come up with that ball, but it’s on Vest for not being able to throw strikes consistently. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Right on cue. Will Vest is the worst possible choice in this situation. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Too many walks in this inning for Brieske. Can’t live that way. Bringing in Vest with the bases loaded has disaster potential written all over it. He’s been terrible allowing inherited runners to score. #RepDetroit

And there you go. Huge RBI knocks for Dingler and Carp. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Big double play to get out of that inning for Kyle Finnegan. Tigers need to get a couple of add-on runs here. #RepDetroit

How does neither Lee nor McGonigle come up with that ball? Cannot let that get through like that. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Terrible at-bats by Colt Keith and Wenceel Perez to end that 7th inning for the Tigers. Zero plate discipline after Greene drew the walk, just up there hacking away at the first pitch they see and doing absolutely nothing. Can’t waste those scoring opportunities. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

Leadoff walks will kill you every time. Terrible outing for Hanifee tonight. Can’t be giving up 3-run bombs with a six-run lead. Gotta protect better than that. Tigers’ crummy bullpen strikes again. #RepDetroit

[Chris McCosky @cmccosky]

Former Tiger Ryan Vilade, three-run homer off Brenan Hanifee, who walked the first two hitters in the sixth with the Tigers up 8-2. Man.

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

They just cannot get out of their own way. How many times does this team have to get walked off this year? This team can’t win for trying. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

And there it is. You just cannot keep giving your pitchers zero margin for error in the ninth inning. I don’t what AJ was telling the entire infield there, but clearly it didn’t work. #RepDetroit

[Nick Jacobs @WingNut_5]

So much for getting insurance runs. Three terrible at-bats in the ninth inning for the Tigers. Now Finnegan has to walk the tightrope to close it out. #RepDetroit
