I think there are internal options for 1B long term. I wouldn't exclude bringing someone else in, but I don't think that's a priority right now. To the original point of moving one of the 3 Cs on the 40 to 1B and/or DH, I don't see the point in it. Malloy is a DH. Canha, Urshela, and Ibanez have 1B experience. Keith and/or Jung could eventually be moved there. And despite Dingler banging it around recently in AAA, its tough to assume that carries up to MLB pitching. Late add: And I don't think Torkelson should be written off just yet.

The Tigers never had a 3rd C called up due to injury last season, and have not had one yet this season. It seems impossible to not have that extend throughout the duration of this season. I don't wish for it, but its likely to happen this season. They'll have one of Rogers/Kelly as the primary C next season and Dingler as the other C next season.

Has the transfer portal stopped rotating?

No, neither they nor Ohio State be playing them.

Old friend Jose Urena. Pound him like he's a bottle of Budweiser.

I'm just adding context to that scheduled game. If USC was worried about the potential Big Ten schedule, perhaps they should have stayed in the PAC-12?

Sure, as well as playing handedness or hitting type matchups. But that rewards could be all for naught if a reliever just ain't got it that day. That's the risk.

Kelly is a free agent this offseason. Dingler isn't really blocked beyond this season.

Don't look now, but the Tigers are only 2 1/2 games out of the wild card. Oh, you looked at it, didn't you?

Reliever roulette. In general I tend to agree with him.

Thieving from a drunk.

Drat. I thought this was a really good idea, but perhaps they didn’t have time to read it.

The other thing with Faedo and the bullpen is Thursday is an off day. Brieske really helped the cause for today and tomorrow.

Everyone misspelled it because Colyer didn’t know how to pronounce it correctly.

Faedo wasn’t exactly great at the end of his inning. I’m not sure I’d run him out there for the 7th. The last Ranger batter was Smith? So, Garcia and Lowe due up? Middle of the order? How about some more offensive runs and then Faedo can start the 7th and then we can go from there?

Whew! That got a little dicey.

Pulled whilst straining the Rangers.

Well, hopefully nothing serious with Flaherty.

Smart bunt by Heim.

I think ruling it a hit was fair. We’ve seen that play made, but I don’t think it’s a given.

1,2,3,4,5,6.

Hinch recognizes my avatar. Appreciates my input.

I thought of it in real time (actually when I was watching on delay) and then not again until now. Weren’t those home runs hit to pretty much the same spot? I don’t think it was mentioned on TV or in the game thread. I’m not surprised about Kelly in and Rogers on the bench. That’s just the nature of the current catching platoon.

Baez will be gone before his contract ends. I don’t think that’s much of a stretch.
