  1. When his Urshela due back? I assume he'll rehab in Toledo before returning to Detroit. My guess is a decision about whom to demote hasn't been made yet although the choices are probably known. What I am getting at is there is time for those someones to separate themselves from the others before the pen hits the transaction paper.
  2. Now I'm wondering if that was legit Daniel Norris. Was there a van parked outside of the stadium?
  3. Good points. I was probably being too cynical.
  4. I'll take Maeda outside of April.
  5. The Tiger top 5 seem right to me for the way things are going right now.
  6. Might as well win the series.
  7. It looked fine to me on the radio.
  8. Catching up on some buzz from around the league.... Pest control hero saves Dodgers-D-backs game from bees Removes bee nest. Sticks around to throw out the first pitch. Not a bad day at the office.
  9. Does Vegas have lines for ESPN sports like cornhole or the X games? Is the X games even still a thing? Or niche things like the National Tractor Pull?
  10. Is this a flex to get the Lakers (or someone else) to sign Bronny as a free agent?
  11. I was thinking Cocoon.
  12. That's an example of waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
  13. I agree, he might have a better future as a RP. However, the Tigers do need reserves in the minors at SP to be called up as the 6th, 7th, 8th SP. So with the option available, he's been able to serve as the 6th SP. That was going to be one of Manning, Mize, and Olson, and Manning drew the short straw. At some point, one of the 1-5 SPs will succumb to injury. Manning will be the fill in this season. Perhaps he establishes himself as a SP going forward. Maybe they convert him to RP after this season. He could also be traded if the Tigers build up enough depth in the minors and/or make some offseason moves. But it seems doubtful that he'll be in the bullpen this season.
  14. The situation as Dickerson alluded to on the radio, is that there are 3 games within 24 hours. Obviously nobody is pitching in both games today. If Foley goes too many pitches today, that takes him out for tomorrow as well. Personally I think he was in for 4 batters if Chafin got through the first 2 of the 8th. So maybe Foley goes 20 pitches and can be used tomorrow. Obviously that didn't work out. Now, I do think maybe Hinch got a little greedy. You try to win the game at hand. So, I can see trotting Foley out there again in the 9th. But, there are no guarantees that he saves it. The Cardinals have looked pretty blah and the Tiger bullpen has been pretty good. So, maybe there is room to save Foley for tomorrow. Sometimes these decisions are more hazy than they are black and white. I didn't find my inner voice arguing against pulling Foley as I was listening to the game, so I'm probably not entitled to complain about the decision.
  15. I don’t think that was the issue. The lack of offense seemed to be a larger issue.
  16. That’s why I have a couple on ignore.
  17. See, I thought this would helpful information.
  18. Whatever you do, never, ever admit to your own foibles. Always be defensive. Play it just like your avatar would. Right down to the CAPITALIZED letters.
  19. Kyle Gibson's OPS against is .840 in Detroit as opposed to his career line of .748. If that does anything for you on a nice warm day.
  20. Seems the most likely scenario.
  21. The Tigers are 16-12. Who is unhappy right now?
