I wasn’t able to watch this until the end. I don’t know what happened. Hopefully it’s just rust or a bad game or the off game of a gentleman’s sweep.

If it ain’t rough, it ain’t right?

Might as well.

Special invite for @IdahoBert to post his thoughts and commentary about Monday’s game in this game thread right here.

Tips cap.

It seems a bit easier when I’m in the room by myself.

How about you focus on fielding your position today, eh?

Valdez on the mound for the TIgers today. Seems like Hinch prefers IF defense to drive the starting lineup. I bet Lee gets a start at 2B, Torres at DH. Now, the question is where do McGonigle (SS or 3B?) and Baez (CF or SS?) play? Is that driven by LHP Crochet and Hinch using Vierling (or Perez) in CF? That's probably how it will play out, I would think. Boston will have RHP Gray on the mound tomorrow. You know, nobody wants to see McGonigle sit. But maybe today is a day to do it? He's going to at some point. Or maybe he starts today's game on the bench? Which, given the circumstances, I would call that a start at a new position I would call "lurking and ready to be unleashed". I don't know how that would fit on a box score. LARTBU? We might need to workshop that a bit.

We're all human. We all have our ups and downs. I try to remember the best in everyone.

Still kind’ve debatable. I mean, has he won any awards yet? How playoff games has he won?

Looks like the time has changed for this game from 1:30 to 4:30 per the MLB icon on my mobiular telephone.

The grind to keep his “brand” going?

I’ve had a Pistons layoff. Busy with work. The Tigers starting out a new season. And really, not much for the Pistons to play for given the probable and clinched seeding of top team in the East. Let that sink in for a moment. Top seed in the East. That’s crazy talk heading into this season.

Yup. Time to start another winning streak.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a bipolar player before. It’s not to say he only plays on the extreme ends. But he can look so darn impressive at times and completely horrible at others with plenty of in the middle. His effortless transition to CF just impresses me. We’ve seen a few guys do that before. Brandon Inge is one that comes to mind, leaving from behind the plate to land at 3B with some short time in OF. Yes, the bat was meh. But the glove work deserves mention. Craig Biggio from behind the plate to 2B to OF to HOF. I knew of it, but baseball wasn’t on as much as it is today. And HOF Robin Yount. MVPs at SS and CF? Even less TV exposure during his playing days, so tough to follow outside of print media. i don’t think anyone is happy with the Baez contract. But his defense and versatility have ready come into benefit last season and now.

Might as well.

In general, yes, I don't mind Keith getting some more time vs LHPs. However, they just called Lee up. They're playing, what 13 in a row? They're going to give position players a day off or two during this stretch. You've got a point about resting both Keith and Greene in the same game. He had a bad game in a 0-1 loss. If he had a net zero game, nobody squawks.

Because your WAR in last night's game was a -0.6.

Are we now done with the Golden State as superior team masquerade? And by we, I don't mean folks in this forum.

His defense did look shaky. I was surprised Lee was called up, I figured it would have been Jung. But, if Lee (RHH) was called up, you're not going to use him vs a LHP? Come on.....

You're back home from the previous night out by 9am?
