What a coincidence! That kind of player is right up Scott Harris alley! https://www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tigers-mlb-draft/90792/detroit-tigers-draft-trevor-condon-baseball-america-aiden-ruiz-tyler-spangler

Are we done with Steve Yzerman yet?

Stop it! Stop it with all the optimism! Just leave me alone to cry in my nonalcoholic beer! I read An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce in high school. I know this isn’t going to end well!

Yesavage has been great, which somehow means we will put a Berting on him before our bullpen gives the lead up

Alternate uniforms and Apple TV and a Bullpen day... a lot to complain about.

talking about odd echoes in station branding I've wondered what they were thinking with the "MS-Now" rebrand that has nothing to do with MS. One possible angle is that for people that have their channel guides indexed alphabetically, keeping the "MS" does insure that people don't "lose" track of where to find them. IDK for how many people the alphabetically indexed guide is a thing, but it's about the only angle I've thought of where "MS-Now" offers anything.

Our old friend Jimmy Howard's NCAA record finally (barely) broken

Fantasy baseball was a lot more fun for me back around the steroid era….

Melton has also been doing his rehab assignment. Hopefully we can get him back in the next couple weeks.

There was a good article in The Athletic today that explains why their optimistic about Skubal's recovery. The new scope is smaller than what was the traditional scope, less stress on the muscles https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7274811/2026/05/13/tigers-tarik-skubal-elbow-surgery-explained/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.ilA.uPLz._XuW6w8U-lvI I guess you can come close to comparing it to say knee replacement surgery today vs a few years ago. My wife had a knee replaced in early November 2024. They used robotic surgery. Had her up and walking within a an hour or so after the operation, climbed a set of stairs and sent her home. She still used a walker for 6 weeks, but could get around without much pain..

Hope I'm wrong. But I'm feeling a blowout.

deck chairs...Seabold activated; Vanasco optioned.

I don't know either. If seems like when my fantasy baseball players comeback earlier than expected, they usually have a set back which keeps them out longer than originally expected!😀

Skubal is allegedly already playing catch. I don’t know if that’s good news or not.

No Ducan tonight.

Right. I hadn't known where the Goodwill part of the slogan came in, and now I do. It's interesting that they kept it well past when Goodwill sold off. Then again "good will" means something outside of radio that "group w" does not.

Tork only seems to have the power to play first base for 1 out of every 6-7 weeks. At this point I just want players who have athleticism and have a competent offensive skill set and approach. I don’t really care what the position typically profiles as.

That was the company that owned the station. From about 1929 to the mid ‘50s or so. The company also included WGAR in Cleveland and KMPC in Los Angeles. They just incorporated the company name in their slogans. For example KDKA, Pittsburgh, a Group W Station

Maybe they can get the little Caesar's logo on the front.

I think a lot of these players are playing at the level of their talent. Maybe they just playing above their skill level before.

Max Anderson doesn't have the power to play 1st base. And the Tigers need Torkelson. If he doesn't improve, the Tigers aren't making the playoffs. So they might as well ride it out for the season and then decide what to do with him in the off season.
