Of course the slump now has always been a possibility. I'm fine with allowing more time in Detroit. How long that lasts is up for debate. And the flip side of the transaction is something that I have not seen much suggestion for.

That transportation mode makes sense. A slingshot is slightly underqualified. That would barely get someone to north of Monroe from either direction. Although if the winds last night were lined up just right, it could've worked one way.

That makes sense given Carpenter/Canha as the 3rd OF. Neither of that duo is entrenched as a specific corner OF above the other corner OF.

There's part of the conundrum for me. If the team offense is good, there's no worries about Baez and Meadows at the bottom of the order because 1-7 are getting it done. That's not the case here. Baez isn't going anywhere. Meadows has options. But do the Tigers have options? Sure, they could swap Baddoo in for Meadows, they could cover CF with Greene/Vierling. I suppose that's worth a try if this malaise continues. That gives Baddoo a final shot at MLB with the Tigers and allows Meadows time to sort things out in AAA. It is kind of interesting, I thought the majority pulse of this place was Meadows was the starting CF, no questions asked. Two weeks into the season, and that changes (and I'm not calling either of you two or anyone else out specifically)?

Is the gain on offense sufficient bs the loss on defense? I suppose they could recall Baddoo. I don’t know, I think it’s still kind of early in the season to make that call.

Taking the first game of a series and drilling into a bullpen a bit the day before a doubleheader is damn fine day. Thank goodness the driveway was dry today.

Regarding Meadows, yes, he’s definitely in an offensive funk. It’s extremely noticeable in the numbers because it’s still early in the season. Is it as damning if he’d have had a reasonable April and May with this slump occurring in June? And the defense isn’t going to slump. There may be some merit to the fact that Greene can “relax” in a corner OF spot and maybe not tax his body so much if he ere in CF.

Amen.

Yeah, not ideal with a doubleheader tomorrow. Pitch count climbing quickly after a relatively easy 1st and 2nd.

Baddoo led off the game with a single. Thrown out on a strikeout throw out caught stealing of 2B. So, while not a strikeout, the nonstrikeout out occurred on a strikeout.

I watched his 2nd inning. Struck out the side except for a 4 pitch walk. He just might work out.

Shut the bleep outta here.

El Mago!

Cora trying to take the heat off of Baez?

Hopefully Torkelson can pull his pop ups and take advantage of the jet stream.

Ms. Nabozny, tear down this revised LF wall!

Well, they're first round matchup is set. I could see a little load management.

Now you're just bragging.

I was originally critical of the play in games. I wasn't all that worried about the 9th and 10th best records. But this season in the West is kind of suited for it. 6th through 10th are separated by only 3 games and all are at least a few games over .500.

I set the DVR to record. You never know, Doncic might go off for 100.

Well, a few of the folks I cohabitate with have been complaining about a mourning dove. Originally I thought it might be the doing of a hawk, but now I'm casting a wider net of suspicion.

I had a birthday once.

Could'of had the sweep last night, but Lakeland had to get a game in.

Its just a little multitasking....

We need boots on the ground reports of driveway conditions.
