Granderson was my Tiger when I was a kid until Cabrera came to town. I even went and seen him play when he was rehabbing with the Whitecaps. I wish the organization would bring him around.

[@jskop566]

I'll never forget some of the catches he made in center.

[@ianborton5666]

​@@jskop566Chet Lemon, Lou Whitaker,, Alan Trammell. That was my childhood. 80's. Took my 19 year old son to opening day this year. We evened up the series against Cleveland easily with our CY Young award winning Skubal, but it's who ever wins 3.

[@mrolivarez112]

i second this curtis granderson was my favorite player with the seawolves and i like 45 min from erie so we used to go watch all the tiger prospects, kerry is another seawolve and my 4 year old has bobble head in his room, we were at this game last night, and for kerry to smoke that homer man i was screaming so loud , and getting to watch skuuuuuub throw a masterpiece wow

[@redstr86]

Saw him play with the Whitecaps as well. Great memories!

[@Brent6437]

I liked Curtis a lot too. When I was a kid it was Mickey Stanley and Al Kaline and Willie Horton and Norm Cash back in the good old days.

Kerry looked like Cleveland legend Jim Thome with that beautiful swing

[@softjones3128]

Ha good call.

[@morrisjarz]

Not enough love going around for Rogers and Sweeney. Without those cats, Carpenter never has the opportunity.

[@travisp5747]

Facts. Outstanding situational hitting

[@softjones3128]

“Stache to 3rd!!” My buddy yelled at me lol

[@SmedleyButlerianJihad]

Love Granderson but why the hell are they questioning Hinch's lineup? I'm sorry, who got the pinch hit, 3 run double against Houston? It was Andy Ibanez, not Kerry Carpenter. Hinch has earned more than the benefit of the doubt with respect to lineup decisions this year

[@2009TNT]

And if Carpenter starts that game, he is definitely not the one taking that at bat in the top of the 9th

[@ianborton5666]

@@2009TNT The Tigers have been rebuilding since their World Series in 2006 and 2012. Trust in me this young team will come to prominence again

[@ianborton5666]

At least the Tigers won.

[@rudewalrus5636]

Exactly. What did he say? "He's batting 200 against lefties..." Since when is 200 not a _bad_ batting average?

[@ianborton5666]

Love it! Didn't even imagine it happening. Let's gooooo!

[@harveydilworth7140]

Tigers do great when they have two outs I love it

KERRY BONDS

[@jerryalexander8803]

As a Tigers fan good to see Granderson, Parker Meadows is the best defensive center fielder patrolling Comerica Park since Granderson

[@jdot8723]

Jackson was good

[@thenerdyarab7622]

It’s just sickening that Hinch won’t get any consideration for MoY. He has had to do the impossible this year.

[@RayanaAlvarez-u1z]

Don’t agree with them saying he must start, 1. We typically start a right handed batter who hits lefties well, AJ turned this team around and he got us here

[@wanderlost15]

LFG TIGERS

[@MarkDaugherty-xw1eq]

A round table of. Baker, Granderson, Martinez, and Rolling ⚾️ mine. Love it

[@fabianalbarran5244]

They suck except Pedro. TBS gotta do better.

[@cmac4625]

It’s worked all year for us so you can’t change the lineup now. That doesn’t make any sense. Next year hopefully, but Hinch loves giving Carp the biggest righty AB of the game so the lineup flexibility is great for us

[@girbanzobean]

Does anyone know where I can get that shirt Skubal is wearing? Very cool looking

[@travisp5747]

Yeah I felt the same. Just gave someone who’s got a circuit make it lol

[@softjones3128]

What a great game. Respect all around.

[@marlinraymond5663]

It is evident they have not been following the Tigers at all. They've been doing this with Kerry the past two years. Please do your homework. It's disrespectful.

[@Patrick-v9d]

LOL, it’s working for Detroit. The players have bought in and the team coaches are hitting more than missing.

[@bipolarpunt5721]

definitely hit the ground, how did the ball change direction so quickly?

[@EL-tf5ek]

Yeah keep questioning the best manager in baseball. 😂 Hinch has been an absolute wizard and managed PERFECTLY. Talking heads all know better though. Those who can’t, become talking heads, those that can, become managers. Now isn’t the time to “find out” if Carpenter can hit lefties. What a bunch of malarkey.

[@nicolaspecorelli5207]

To be fair he was hurt for most of the year that’s why they aren’t starting him against lefty’s and the rest of the team already hits well against them

[@brainshaker8]

Roger's stache could be legendary like Chet's fro 😂

[@garethridings5338]

I agree Carpenter needs to get his feet wet when facing lefties and using him off the bench is a strategy that helped get the Tigers to the post season.

[@RayanaAlvarez-u1z]

You guys don’t know the tigers so don’t try and second guess AJ hinch

[@Yaya93288]

Granderson was my favorite Tiger for the longest! Still have my Granderson jersey 28 🧡

[@uncle-ted]

Kerry 💣 is on the strong side of a platoon! who cares he rakes!!!!

[@Mark-pp7jy]

Sitting at home with the flu, feeling like crap...but got to my feet when Rogers got on base. Then another single...then the "crack" heard round the world! Forgot all about being sick. This team is never out!

[@KenWesaw]

Was there a replay of the one hopper that they called an out ?

[@Lionstigers313]

At first glance of the set I was like why is Don Lemon analyzing baseball. Then I realized it was Granderson

[@chromiumdragon8190]

We See You #30🐅

[@jeffkiewiet806]

He needs to play. Even if you bat him 7th against lefty

[@harveydilworth7140]

Who are these tigers you don't need a bunch of All Stars you just need a team to play together yes Detroit you are young dumb and playing together let the stars do their thing you guys just keep winning winning

[@stevencook4002]

I was thinking the same thing but then I remembered all the right moves Hinch has made this year.

[@jamesalan1476]

Gosh Pedro, I hope you're not sick. What a shock

[@Djturnt]

Definitely hit the ground lol

[@paulvonauth7254]

"Gibson" was a rockstar, how about those TIGERS!!!!!

[@keithfabbri6578]

He was late on the FB because it was away. Carp likes to let the ball travel and his approach is left/Left Center. He gets ready early to let the ball travel so he can adjust on the off speed.

[@Brent6437]

[@stephencorsaro954]

I don't care how great you are as a pitcher. You can't throw 2 hanging sliders in a row inside middle to left handed hitter. Three sliders back to back to back when you have a 100mph cutter? WTH were you thinking?

[@KenWesaw]

Carpenter crushed that pitch it was no cheapie

Bunch of armchair managers all over the place second guessing Hinch. Pipe down and watch the man work. Teams lose in the postseason cause they change the way they manage from how they did in the regular season. Don’t change what got you there
