Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a "zipper merge" sign somewheres this year, also. New York state? Pennsylvania?

3B Wilmer Flores was mentioned before (sorry, cannot recall who). Originally I thought, yeah, OK, whatever. But you look at his production, and he would be a triple crown winner for the Tigers. Defensively, he might be no better/worse than Candelario. And maybe Flores is best used as a not quite every day but 4 or 5 days out of a week type of player. But he could be a handy player at 3B/1B if acquired inexpensively. They could go with Clemens/Flores at 3B and focus heavily on another OF and middle IF to try to resurrect the offense for next season. Clemens/Flores would also allow a season at Toledo for Kreidler/Colt/Perez if they are considered reasonable bets for beyond 2023.

After he wins 2022 AL ROY, Carpenter will mention you at the presser and thank you for your bulletin board material.

38-5 would put them on the edge of the wildcard. Sort of. Maybe. If we squint.

The Tigers might want to look into scheduling more doubleheaders.

The MAC does a happy dance.

If Avila were still around, I would suspect both Schoop & Candelario would be back. Now, its just highly questionable. Nobody knows who will replace Avila, what other moves might occur, etc. The roster could be revamped such that Candelario and Schoop would be acceptable as end of the lineup types for next season. I doubt it'll happen, but who knows.

Stat of the day: The Tigers are now 8-8 on the season in doubleheader games.

Pfffffft…. I added Bryan Garcia.

Rick Manning used to be pretty good, calls it like it is. Not sure if he is still that way or not. Listening to him go over Avila transactions might have been gold.

WIN!

Imagine what the attendance could be with a good team.....

They've been around long enough that if they are elected into the hall of fame, they'll be wearing Tiger hats on their plaques.

"I was talking to JV at the ping pong table today,....."

What if the hitters took ping pong paddles rather than bats to the plate?

Who gets called up as the 27th loser?

Isn't Reyes about due to hit his 10/5 rights? He is the Buck Farmer of position players.

I'm not sure how much a manager can have an impact on 4. Obviously if they aren't careful with rest and days off and such, they can burn players up. I'm not sure how much Hinch/Fetter have to do with the pitching injuries that we've seen. It could be a very flukey situation. It could have something to do with workload (game prep counts here also). It could have something to do with conditioning (not sure what the training staff reporting structure is with respect to the coaching staff). I would be interested to know how that works.

UoM's schedule : Hongbit :: Cabrera's roster status : Casimir I hated those similarity comparison things in grade school. I couldn't imagine when it would be useful in life. Now it all makes sense to me.
