  1. Torkelson with a nice play there, leaping to snare the throw and tag the hitter out at 1B.
  2. See when Wentz is sent down after the game, which pitcher will be promoted to help the struggling offense?
  3. Yet. It’s only mid May.
  4. Well, they shouldn’t do that without seeing if they can hit a baseball first.
  5. What are you drinking?
  6. Some kid named Mays struggled in his debut. After the homer, Mays went on a 0-for-13 slide, leaving him hitting .038 (1-for-26). At this point, in an often-told story, Willie sat in front of his locker, crying, after taking the collar again. Coaches Freddie Fitzsimmons and Herman Franks sent for Durocher. Mays again said he couldn’t hit big-league pitching. Durocher replied, “As long as I’m the manager of the Giants, you are my center fielder. … You are the best center fielder I’ve ever looked at.”24 Then he told Mays to hitch up his pants more to give himself a more favorable strike zone. Willie then went on a 14-for-33 tear.
  7. Jerk Sox and Jerk Sawx?
  8. It makes me happy to see others using this.
  9. That's ok, Hurling Harold is around if need be.
  10. I wouldn't expect Wentz to go too deep into the game today.
  11. Must be showcasing him for a trade.
  12. "Root, root, root for the road team,... If they don't win its a shame..."
  13. The pitching has been good. The Tigers need to find out if Chris Fetter has a twin brother that knows coaching hitting. Baez on defense is fun. You want to talk about unwatchable, the previous SS play that the Tigers had is unwatchable compared to what Baez has done in his short time as a Tiger.
  14. Heck, maybe they need to pound some Budweiser and go Bills’ mafia on some tables?
  15. Maybe he’ll pitch one game and play LF in the other.
  16. Oh, wow, I forgot he was a player to be named later in the David Wells deal.
  17. Have they tried using a table leg for a bat?
  18. Then pull Garcia up tomorrow as the extra player. They've taken a poorly constructed roster and made it more poorly constructed.
  19. Awesome. Short on position players. Position player down, pitcher up. Now if Hinch puts CastroW out in the OF, its tougher to blame him given the roster composition. But it should be Grossman, Hill, and Meadows.
  20. I’m not sure about Hinch being swept out with Avila, but it depends upon when Avila is pushed out and who replaces him. Probably more than latter than the former.
  21. Yes, it was a lot like Mark Lewis and Andujar Cedeno. It sucked.
  22. Right. Demote CastroW, he can play OF in Toledo. Clemens can get some time between 2B/OF. Schoop can handle a game or two at 1B if he starts hitting and Torkelson isn’t. If Clemens doesn’t hit, is the team any worse off than it already is? If Clemens flails in the OF, then restrict him to 2B. If Schoop/Torkleson/others finally start hitting and there isn’t time for Clemens, well, goody for the Tigers.
