I've wondered about this, too. Look, I ain't in game shape either, but I also ain't in charge of professional athletes.

A win in only 135 minutes. Why can't they do this every night?

The Castros were meeting up with Deuce after the game.

This could qualify Fetter for sainthood.

This is ignorant as hell. You should absolutely be ashamed of yourself.

This seems a bit far fetched.

I tell you what. If the Tigers want to lock someone up on a long term deal, Fetters might be the next guy to do that with.

Preach. My oldest has always wanted to be a teacher. I think I would like her to consider another career. It's a profession that just keeps getting shit on. Then again, look at how the medical field has been treated the last several years, so,... yeah, what to do.

I was presented a job opportunity in Fort Worth years ago, but never really considered it as we were too rooted down where we are. Years later and I don't regret it at all. You're right about other public places. Banks still got robbed. Why have we not heard of arming bank tellers?

There are lots of obvious issues with teachers packing. Well, obvious only if one wants to give it a tiny bit of thought, anyway.

My wife is a teacher. We know a lot of teachers. Most teachers get into teaching to teach. My guess is if they wanted to be in law enforcement rather than education, they'd have gotten into that. And as for arming teachers, a hearty GTFOH to that. They're usually busy teaching. How effective can they be at teaching if they are constantly monitoring the doorway/hallway?

I guess I thought most players go through more year round training whereas when some of us had dinosaurs as pets, spring training was for players to get into shape. But I hadn't thought about the lack of contact between players and personal trainers with their MLB teams and training staffs. That said, we're now about two months into the regular season. Shouldn't the kinetics be caught up by now for guys that have been going since spring training? Maybe I'm just looking at this from too much of a macro point of view. You dig into a detail like Pineda's injury being kind of flukish (although he has had his health struggles), and there's not really anything that is an effect from the offseason or spring training. I don't know, its all just very frustrating. But lots of kudos to Fetter & company for making chicken salad out of all of this.

But it can't all due to a shortened spring training, can it?

What other team is going through anything like this?

8 pitchers on the IL, soon to be 9. Good grief, they’re going to have a whole pitching staff on the IL pretty soon.

JINX!!!

Wasn’t Carlos Peña a bit slick with the glove works?

I just want to know, what does Keith Law think? We need those WWJD bracelets, but with WDKLT.

Clearly we could be catchers. Just ask Jim Price.

This is what they’ve backed themselves into by poor roster construction and management. Cabrera is day-to-day, they have only 12 position players, they have little to none quality versatility among those 12, and they’ve got a doubleheader tomorrow. So essentially they’ve got a bench of Barnhart and Candelario today. They have the extra player that they can call up tomorrow, and it’ll probably be another pitcher. I don’t want to wish bad things upon the team or players, but I really hope they goes stuck putting a pitcher out onto the field at some point over the next two days just because they need that result shoved in their faces.

The radio field mikes were very adept at picking up Pelfrey’s F bombs. This will be what my mind’s ears hear if I read that the Tigers pick up that $8M tab. They have no bats right now, they have too many Ps on the active roster, and we want them to waste time with this has been? Simply terrible.

You may be onto something.

Playing RF seems less strenuous than CF. Just another measure to bring him back to baseball speed gradually?

He should probably be demoted in the lineup, but then they would have to find someone else to promote to 4th. Tough to do when most of the lineup ain’t hitting.

Hold on, I thought Hinch was running the show. Or was that only last May through the end of last season?
