1. Per [Tigers PR](https://x.com/DetroitTigersPR/status/1825256709109235952)

   > Tonight’s lineup features six players age 24-or-younger. It’s the first time since May 25, 2015 that the Tigers have had six starters under the age of 25. Prior to that, it hadn’t happened for the Tigers since September 30, 1978.

2. We got a squad now boys

3. This lineup excites me.

4. Is this heaven?

5. This needs to be the every day lineup except give ABs to JHM and Dingler also.

6. Parker Riley Kerry Colt Jung Tork and Sweeney all playing… with Skubal on the mound… AJ is in his BAG tonight

8. Absolute banger lineup

9. I’m genuinely so excited for this game

10. Jake Rogers is the old guy in this lineup at 29 years of age. Fun.

11. ESPN falling to their knees in a Walmart seeing Javy Baez isn’t in the lineup and now they don’t know a single player in the lineup

12. Haven’t been this excited about a tigers starting 10 in awhile

13. I love this lineup

14. That lineup is pretty defensively challenged around the infield especially.

    Jung, Keith and Tork are known to be weak defensively at these positions.

15. When was the last time we could say the catcher is the worst hitter in the lineup

16. Really like that lineup!

17. This is hawt.

18. This sparks joy

19. First time McKinistry has sat in a long while.

20. Has anyone seen Reese Olson’s little league photo yet? Does he look any different?

21. This is basically the most exciting lineup we’ve fielded all season. Too bad Wenceel got hurt before we got everyone back
