Great game. Very pleased with everything since we left LA.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but I love Dingler so much now
Love to see the bottom of the order propelling us to a win!
Never doubted it for a second.
They got dangled on
Fuck the Twinkies, all day every day. Let’s sweep these baby back bitches
Dingle Dangle the Twins just got Dinglerd
Awe Apple TV was so disappointed ::::(((((((
But honestly kinda like the product on Friday Night Baseball
That was a gritty win for a gritty den of Tigers.
Why is javy baez good now
I believe the Tigers currently are tied for the best run differential in the AL, and that’s including 6 games against the Yankees and Dodgers. 👀
Edit: tied for the best

I am looking at MLB Gameday and…did Kahnle really throw 18 changeups in a row or is this thing broken?
Nice comeback win
I love this team.
The Twins jumped out ahead early and Festa was pitching well, but we just battered down and took this easy game to give away and turned it into a win.
Eat em up boys! Let’s go win again tomorrow!
I know most people hate these National on the Internet games, but I don’t……because the Tigers be winning most of these games.
Tho I will admit that the Apple announcers were way too low energy tonight, usually the problem is glazing the other team….but they couldn’t even do that tonight.
Kerry/Riley/Tork go 0-fer and we put up 7 runs. This team is the real deal
I need more hot mic Dan
The technical aspects of the Apple broadcast are great, but it sucks to not be able to listen to Dan or Benetti
Another night with us leading the AL Central. I’m gonna keep enjoying that as long as we’re still competitive the rest of the season.
Random not tigers related thoughts… sure it would suck to be the white sox but i bet it would suck to be the rockies about 100000x more this season
NEVER in doubt
Holy shit that was a long game. Been a while since I have seen a game last 3 hrs 30 minutes
They are literally so fun to watch. Each game so far (minus the LA series) has either been a wipeout by the tigers or just close enough that it’s exciting. They just never give up man.
I know Apple like. Has their own commentators and stuff but like. Where are my dads guys
8-5 record with 6 of those games being played against ALCS/NLCS champions. Our boys are off to a good start!
I’m concerned to hear Brieske’s velo is down 4 mph. I hope this isn’t an early sign of an injury. The pen isn’t the same without him.
Gritty win for the gritty tigs. This team is so much fun to watch
This team is fun! Love the grit! Great start to the season boys!
Great game. Their starting pitching is good. I had a feeling we would come back as usual in the late innings. #RepDetroit
Whew tried our best to almost blow it at the end. Nothing ever comes easy with Detroit sports!
Radio broadcast had me cracking up in the 9th.
“14 pitches, all changeups, what do you think he’ll throw next?”
“Honestly Dan I’m gonna have to go with the changeup. Can’t throw a fastball now”
Its a good day when we beat the Twinkies.

This year we won’t be the Twins bitch and they’ll go back to middling where they belong
Where all the Keith haters at? Still want to send down our cornerstone for a slow start?
