Summary
Tigers outfielder Wenceel Pérez sparked social media chaos after posting multiple home run clips amid the team’s brutal 17-loss streak — prompting radio host Jim Costa to call him out for not “reading the room.” Less than 24 hours later, Pérez hit another homer, and the Tigers’ X account cheekily replied with “So good we might share it five different times,” directly referencing Costa’s jab. The playful exchange ignited fan debate — some cheered the team’s comeback, others scoffed at the distraction — but the game ended in a 7-1 loss, leaving Costa to point out the team’s shutout slump and worst AL record. Costa admitted he’d rather talk about wins than online drama, but with the Tigers tied for MLB’s worst record, the real story remains on the field — where they’re losing way too many games.
