If we're going to pull out names from that era, we better leave the comparisons up to 84Lives.

Heck, it might screw up his whole future career.

I mentioned this in the 08/09 game thread, but its time to put Cabrera on the IL. Management needs to do the right thing and stock the roster with players that are capable, at least in terms of health and conditioning, of playing the game. Its great that they called up Carpenter. I'm not necessarily upset about Cameron being demoted. But it seems odd to have to carry a player on the roster that is barely in enough shape to populate the batter's box 4 times a game. As has been mentioned, his right knee is preventing him from getting any sort of drive into his swings. He cannot run. He cannot field. The team is essentially going with 12 position players. He is a detriment to the team. He is obviously in pain right now. He should be placed on the IL. Grow a spine, send a message, get into basic conditioning for next season, or just send him on his way.

I understand Cameron is probably nothing more than a AAAA player. Sending him down, meh, whatever. At the same time, Cabrera is in no way, shape, or form a healthy player capable of even being as little as a DH 4 times a game. It might be time to send a message to Cabrera about getting into some sort of basic athletic conditioning. Maybe plopping him onto the IL would give a hint about it. The group of position players absolutely sucks to begin with and they are using one of those spots for a broken down has been that offers very little to the on field product.

Cleveland Guardians (57-52) at Detroit Tigers (43-68)

Partially.

Bugger.

We can’t possibly ask for everything.

HUZZAH! A RUN!!!! Eat it, Cleveland!

And hitters.

I wonder what the rally goose is up to?

Nick Quintana OPSing around .800 this season. Tucker Barnhart, not so much.

We are being treated tonight to a pair of catchers that hit like pitchers.

I wonder if the Fix My Feet doctor knows anybody in the Fix My Swing field?

Baez swinging at the shadow of the sound of the bounce of that pitch 5 feet in front of the plate.

It was a good game until then. 8 close innings on Sunday, 7 close innings tonight. Progress?

Kid needs to go on the IL.

There are no hitters and they are breaking all of the pitchers. Other than that, not a bad season.

Hinch is so damn good drawing that play up on the fly.

“Okay, well ... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get ‘em.”

The resume just doesn't add up to having more patience. It's foolish to think otherwise.

When is it the winning going to happen? This franchise has been awful at the MLB level since 2017. Where are the riches of the revamped scouting and drafting and developing? Or do we need to wait another 7 years for a sustained top half farm system?

The story of my life....

Cumulative records since the beginning of the 2017 season and that winning percentage extrapolated to a 162 game season:

But Daz Cameron....
