It’s exactly the defense that I am hoping can improve angle.

I honestly never really thought of the racial composition of the team until it was brought up.

What a fun ending. Good for him, good for the team. Man, I hope we get to see the Singuel walk off strut a few more times.

I mowed before the game. I’ll be honest, I did pull the iPad out to get some landscaping ideas during the earlier innings.

Anybody that gets to 100 has some pretty good fortunate health on their side. But let’s be honest, while Jackie was the focal point of the abuse of what needed to be accomplished, no doubt Rachel had to have taken her share of abuse as well. One would think all of that would have had to have taken a physical toll on anyone. I think it just goes to show what a strong woman she is. My goodness, 101 years old with all that she had to endure in life? Amazing.

Should’of kept a Castro.

I like the idea of playing him everyday. That's probably going to have to be in Toledo this season. Let the Tigers mix & match the hot corner with the older players already on the 40 unless they all completely flop. Maybe Malloy gets a September call up to check out the taller buildings & better per diem and grab a few PAs as a preview for 2024.

Its a pity that Leyland couldn't have guided that team, because his headshot (with shades and a heater) would really complete that gravestone.

OK everybody, let Lee have his funny when the opportunity presents itself.

13 game streak, eh Tampa? Aight...., hold my Detroit's beer.

I hate that unwritten rule. If its a meatball, swing for the downs.

I thought I heard howling from a deep distance to the north last evening.

Yeah, that's kind of where I was going with: At the moment, Kreidler seems to have the weakest batting line of the trio, although that ain't saying much. The depth chart is such where any of the three can be moved without creating an issue on the corners or up the middle. And maybe it makes sense to have Kreidler playing everyday in Toledo anyway.

I'm confused. I think they are currently at 14 positions and 12 pitchers (Nevin up, Manning IL). Wentz down to Toledo for Lorenzen keeps it 14/12. I guess I am going with the assumption that they'll want to be 13/13, but it certainly isn't a mandate to do so.

Speculation I heard is Wentz optioned down in order for Lorenzen to be called back up. But at some point a position player is going to have be moved for an arm.

Dramatic hyperbole aside, the Tigers will be a better team if and when Baez plays like 2017-2021 Baez.

Short start to this season, though. Semien & Seager were positives last season for the Rangers, Correa had one of his better seasons for the Twins. Can't ignore that production. But even with the good seasons, that's early in the contracts, and the ROI for the whole contract isn't justified solely by one season. We saw that with MartinezV's final contract, we're seeing that with Cabrera's extension. And Story definitely fits the cautionary tale. The FA spend of San Diego is something to look at in a few years. They've got a number of high dollar later in career liabilities in order to win now. That could be very ugly in the future.

I record the game and then watch when I can. Last night I didn't start watching until a bit after 8.

So, it’s interesting to me that the camera crews happened to catch Schoop stretching out in the dugout after this blunder. Was it just a coincidence? Good eye on the dugout and noticing a bit of unusual behavior from a bench player really early in the game? Good on Hinch for drawing a line. The home run trot out of the box might have limited the hit from a triple to a double (it was a weird ricochet off of the wall, so maybe it was only going to be a double anyway). But to be doubled off on a routine fly ball like that. I don’t think Baez is the true culprit of all the Tiger issues. He’s not lived up to the contract, sure. But I think a message needs to be sent to the entire team, and one way to do that is through one of its better players. The entire team need to pull its head out of its rump. If Hinch didn’t have their attention before, he’s got it now. Maybe they’ll still be out talented most nights, but damn, don’t make it easier for the opposition.

Yes, we've got them around our house. They are quite beautiful birds. But they definitely do not play well with others as you mentioned. Philadelphia tried out the Blue Jays for a short bit.

Pretty soon the Rays are going to have a winning streak that is larger than their paid attendance.
