This is the correct answer.

Anyone hear Stavenhagen on the Tiger Territory podcast? He threw out a name that no one has suggested. Fits the Hinch scheme of things as far as a good semi regular versatile bench piece. Can play multiple defensive positions, is a switch hitter that does well vs LHPs. Cheap contract. Plays within the division, if that’s a concern for a trade. And when he mentioned it, if you give it a bit of thought, he’s more right about it than you might want to believe. Willi Castro.

Oh, come on now. Lean into that with your chest. Crowd the plate when you’re typing that. Chins up, people. They weren’t going to get through a whole season without some sort of struggle. Must win. For crying out loud, they survived Ryan Kreidler in CF and Kenta Maeda on the mound earlier on this season. Must win. The park should be packed with Toronto coming into town. A rekindling of 1984 in a somewhat different geographically playoffical set of circumstances. The winner of this series gets control of the Windsor Ballet until the next season. Wait, what? Must win!

The park should be buzzing this weekend. Maybe that’ll be the magical elixir to the recent slide. Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

It sucks. With all of the glitter and champagne that gets tossed about Harris, there are some whiffs on his Tiger striped resume. I thought Maeda was a fine move, Cobb less so but somewhat understandable. Obviously neither is working out.

In my completely amateurish and wholly unqualified opinion, the swing path worries me because of how extreme it is. When its in, its on, and its glorious. But does that severe uppercut lend itself to being off easier than a more level swing? I would think so. And I'm just talking about the bat swing. I think that affects the SOs and contact quality. I don't think it affects his ability to draw BBs, at least not directly. I guess one could say the more swing and miss pitches earlier in the count could lead to more BBs rather than early pitch contact outs, but I don't know. I guess furthermore considering other parts of his game, is he going to be a burn bright early and burn out quicker? We've also discussed his running gate and he's had some injuries in his past. We can talk about Skubal's contract situation and "hope" for an extension. I'm not sure how I would feel about a Greene extension. Obviously its all about the details.

It’s weird seeing the Rangers play inside. I get why they have a roof. But I really liked the old place from a watching the game on TV and enjoying the visual standpoint of things.

As always, as always.

He’s well rested.

Special ops, reporting to Duece?

What about Frankie?

Nice try, but you suck.

I’m somewhat familiar with Americanish. I do think you’ve used that written language here. However, I have no idea what in the world you’re stating.

They will bounce back tonight. Book it.

Yup, first round, 50s, 118th,…. All of those suggest a possible sleeper for an 8th round pick.

My usual bicycle jaunt takes me past Fallen Timbers and past a statue of Wayne and Chief Little Turtle. The monument was placed at what was originally thought to be the battlefield. More recent combing of land and discovery of artifacts have placed the actual area of the skirmish about a half mile away. Who knows, maybe it was in both spots and/or somewhere in between?

Gross. It hurt to type that, didn’t it?

Mayo could have been wrong or, hopefully, Dumensil just had a bad year and recoups that potential. I don’t mind the strategy at all if the Tigers believe in the latter.

The cold reality is, regardless of what comes out of this particular episode, unless he dies, he’s serving full term. And who knows what else we’ll be in for.

Should'of let the bat boys play a wiffle ball game to break the tie.

He didn't allow any runs and didn't go 0fer at the plate. So he probably had the best Tiger performance of the day.

I don't really care how they ended the game after 9. I didn't last that long anyway. Was it just me or were the commercial time outs in between innings and pitching changes about double in length from a regular season game? Good grief, that annoyed me.

Nice cleats, Skubal.

No shame in paying respect like that.
