Well, really, if Skubal hadn’t started sucking in that one inning there…..

Angst if the ESPN power rankings do not show enough R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.

Alex Lange.

Guillermo Hernandez ain’t walking through that door.

Very clutch of you.

Concern by Dan & Andy about the umpires confab after the Baez triple.

In play, run(s).

Nice area.

That’s interesting, hadn’t really thought about that before.

Frankie says “Relax, don’t do it, the Yankee bullpen ain’t here to blow it!”

Dickerson inadvertently spoke it into reality.

Welp,…. This game is over. Nothing else to do tonight. Go out and kick their ass tomorrow.

Yup. Probably not the best game to have right after the trade deadline given their needs, the perception of how those needs were addressed, and how this game was lost.

How do you figure the Tigers have the least production out of 3B in all of baseball? They’re middle of the pack on bbref WAR.

I suppose that could be it if Montero has options. I don’t know if he does.

So Finnegan, Morton, and Montero need roster spots. So long to Jackson, Kahnle, and Lee?

Yup, this is basically it. Morton and Paddock to round out the rotation. Lots of bullpen options to sort through. Melton factors into that now (and maybe Olson does as well in time for the playoffs). Finnegan, Holton, and Vest as the end of game trio. The offense is fine. They had the recent stumble. But they've been fine aside from that. And given the playoff schedule, they can drop a pitcher and add a bat, probably RHH. The deadline was unspectacular. I'm not all that surprised. I'd have preferred Merrill Kelly as a SP addition. I'd have preferred Bednar as a RP addition. I think Castro would have been a fine bat that fits the position player usage. But I'm not surprised by the under the radar additions.

That's interesting. Do we think the Tigers might have acquired Sewald's shoulder in order to best remedy Olson's shoulder?

I was thinking of the children that visit this site.

3 of the 4 would be dandy.

Sarcasimir strikes again.

Melton pitched like we was afraid the Tigers wouldn’t be able to get to Dairy Queen before they close tonight.

Trade within the division? That's absolute madness. That never happens.
