Hey, a little bingo gets a 2-0 lead!

Baez strikes out with RISP. Drink.

WILLI!

Would you want to wear that hat for more than 3 innings today?

Whatever gives you your false sense of superiority over everyone else.

I saw a red Expos hat today. I didn’t know those existed.

Oh, good one Captain Thinskin.

Oh, sure, kick us in the nads whilst where already writhing on the ground in pain.

#### ###!

Or where does Paredes level off at? The ISO and hard hit rates are too far off the charts to be considered sustainable.

Oh boy, here we go again, everyone is picking on Chuck.

Is it old? Put the Meadows season aside. I think we can all agree that has been flukey as all get out. But the Paredes thing, if he hits like this, what does that say about Detroit’s talent evaluation and development? I suppose it could also be considered a fluke, much like the Tigers resurrected JD Martinez’ career. Or was that more Martinez and the Tigers were just lucky enough to have offered the opportunity?

As joyless as the team is, it’s still better to be in the middle of the baseball season rather than the more joyless off-season.

@Tigeraholic1 must be hittin' the sauce early.

Cleveland Guardians (40-36) at Detroit Tigers (30-47)

Its July 4th and CastroW and Cameron each have more HRs than Meadows. This season sucks so much.

I was looking at the aggregate numbers. I mean, we could also look at CastroW's career lines and note that he hit .932 in 36 games in 2020. This season sucks so much.

He's following that up with a crisp .629 in Toledo this season. His walk rate been reduced by half from last Toledo season to this Toledo season. For his career at AAA (which, ok, some of which was at the tender ages of 22-23), he's at .716. Wasn't he also called out a bit earlier this season? It would seem answering that with a .629 isn't a recipe for success. I get that CastroW in the OF should be handled in Toledo. But Cameron hasn't really forced that issue by forcing the call up to replace CastroW in the OF.

There's a place for him now, and that's probably an indictment on the organization's positional depth at the upper levels.

Not much. He's shown improvement lately, but like I said above, it might not be enough anyway. Cameron hasn't hit above AA, which Castro has. So, there's that. Baddoo is the only long term MLB hope among the 3. We agree on that, right?

Those were good highlights. I don't know how that translates to making a roster, but that snippet seemed to show some passing ability and some instincts.

Going with the Boeheim Blitz this summer league?

Baddoo? Sure, no argument here. Cameron? What has he shown to be promoted?

OK, let's just understand that, yes, small sample size applies. But given the conversation at hand.... Go, Willi, go!

I was actually thinking the same thing watching him play RF on Fri/Sat. And I have not had a beer in a week. I don't know if its RF specifically or if he's just becoming more accustomed to playing OF in general. He may not be able to put it all together, but at least there seems to be something clicking lately.
