He’s due for a 1, 2, 3, right?

Shut yo mouth, G.

I need a QB sleeve for all of these acronyms.

Ha ha!

We want more! We want more!

Tres to dos, Tigres! El offense is en fuego!

OH! In play, run(s)!

Gameday gave a point to the Tigers. HUZZAH!

Its a good idea.

Yes, little room for error with a shallow lineup.

Bench Baez and the defense gets cruddy.

In fairness, he did pretty well. .290/.417/.526 ain't just ok.

The smoke has cleared, humidity is gone, clear skies, fireflies are out in droves, there’s been an owl hooting somewhere around here for the past hour. Not a bad night to sit out and listen to a ballgame. Heck, the bird dogs commercials even sound….. less annoying.

Did Kansas City have the best looking artificial turf in MLB?

Yes. And who knows, it might snap Lyles out of his groove, too.

I like the consistency here.

30 wins would be a disappointment this season, right? Even if injuries are the cause, they’ve got to have enough talent spread around to surpass that, right?

Wasn’t it this weekend someone commented about hitters working on one thing that might adversely affect another part of their game? I don’t know if that’s the case here, but it’s interesting to think of.

Were you thinking Shreve as the lefty that’s gone at the end of the season?

Pitcher Bill Laskey grew up in my neighborhood years before me. He headlined an offseason baseball camp at his alma mater which was right across the park from my house. Sheridan was on hand to go over baserunning. Pretty sure it was when he was still with the Royals. Baseball had kicked my lack of skills to the curb by the time he was with the Tigers, so I probably wouldn't have gone to it.

I don't think I consider anyone on the team untouchable. Some are a heck of a lot more expensive than others. Two top 200 prospects is too vague to go off of. Are they both outside of the top 100? I wouldn't return the phone call. Is one a top 100 and the other a top 200? Depends upon the combination.

And weightlifting changed his hair, too.

The problem is that its tough to expect much trade value of the 4A players. Norris for Olson is the exception, not the rule. I don't think its a playoff team. I would expect Rodriguez and Lorenzen to be traded. I don't think there are enough remaining SPs to keep the team afloat given the offense. Heck, I don't know if there would be enough remaining healthy SPs to begin with. I kind of wonder if Carpenter and his inexpensive offense would yield something worthwhile in return, but his defense is compromising. I'd be comfortable with him as DH next season, but I don't really want a long term DH. I'd prefer the offensive players be able to play competent defense, too. Ideally the DH spot could be used for a partial day off or guys dealing with injuries (kind of like Greene now).

Update: The brats slapped and the corn was sweet.
