Giants Acquire Dixon Machado From Cubs Your move, Cardinals.

Nice work. But how good are you at Powerball predictions?

Yes, it seems most people take a what have you done for me lately approach to Sr. There were plenty of poor Tiger teams early on under his ownership. It doesn’t excuse Jr. I know some people have this assumption that Jr doesn’t know much about baseball. It’s funny, the same was said about Sr at the end of the Randy Smith era, but that is all forgotten after Dombrowski turned things around. Some kind of change needs to be made soon. They’ve gone through the draft with Avila and will go through the trade deadline with him. Maybe Avila gets shown the door a few hours after the trade deadline just like “mastermind” Sr did with Dombrowski.

Today’s game is brought to you by the letter “e”. Egads, everybody is earning errors.

But I highly doubt he would be available for a couple of RPs and a backup C. Hey, if Avila can get it done, more power to him.

Oh goody, Grossman starts and Baddoo sits. It would seem to make more sense to send Baddoo to play everyday rather than sit the bench in Detroit. Or maybe Toronto plans to have Berrios pitch left handed today.

They seem likelier for the Tigers to want to trade because of contracts. But to Edman’s point, they need to move whoever they can that makes sense as far as the return is concerned. I don’t care about Soto’s or anyone else’s team contract control. Obviously they can negotiate up the player value because of that variable. But as flukey as relief pitchers can be from season to season, especially if they happen to be getting worthwhile position players or starting pitching in return, make the trade.

Yes, under.

It seems odd to me that the B12 might have a sliver of a chance if they pull in the 4 four corner colleges from the P12, at least that theory exists out there. Heck, that might be their only chance at not dissolving unless they grab ND, but that seems like having only one WR, and a 5'2" one at that, available for a Hail Mary from about 80 yards out. We're not going to recognize college sports in 5 years.

Detroit Tigers (41-61) at Toronto Blue Jays (56-45)

So, yeah, John Law gave up 4 in an inning. The Tigers got the best start that they could have hoped for out of Hutchison. He got pulled when he should have, and the only reason to keep him for a 3rd trip at that point would have been an absolutely decimated relief corps. But the Tigers mustered only 3 runs again. 10 hits, all singles aside from 2 doubles, and 2 walks. Struck out 10 times. The strikeouts are in fashion, but the cool kids also hit for power.

Dude should be punished. Send him to a losing team.

Hurlin’ Harold wasn’t available?

Angel De Jesus is wearing jersey number 62? It’s nice to see Al Albuquerque gave him his blessing.

Bo has put on a few. Ain’t no way he’s crawling in and out of a car window or sliding across the hood.

You know, with the trade deadline and the Tigers having RPs to offer and the SPs bing in shambles, it is kind of difficult to maneuver through this weekend without risking injury to trade chips.

The Tigers have done a good job today getting runners on base with less than two outs. Dare I say they ain’t out of it yet? Yes, I dare say so.

Well, they were going to be facing the top of the Toronto order twice yet. I agree, though, it’s best to get outs now and worry about later on later on.

He did feature a nice mix of crap and meatball.

Did Fetter run out of magic pixy dust today?

With all due respect (which would be zero), you suck, sir.

🤫

Law has not brought order in this appearance.

Tigers are showcasing him for trade maybe?

This bottom half of the 6th kind’of sucks so far.
