I don't think anybody said they hated him. I would just tell him that he's a pro now, so act like one, and for your own sake don't ever reveal that you have rabbit ears.

Olson has 7 K's through 4 innings, on only 55 pitches. So far so good.

Or, he might have fractured 15 bones in his body all at once on that one play.

I don't really care for that, he needs a responsible adult to tell him to stop doing that. That needs to come right from Harris, right from the top, right now. This organization does not employ punks. Stop. Now.

Brilliant. Avila's lasting gift is Hinch, whose in game management wins and gaffes result in a net zero effect on overall team performance. He is neither a positive nor a negative. He is a 0 WAR manager, like all the rest of them.

Hey Lange the bus for Toledo leaves at 8:15. Be under it.

Highlight of the day: Wenceel's first hit, first stolen base.

Maeda got through 3 innings on 40 pitches, very efficient

A pleasant surprise W!

Manning is at 78 pitches...one more inning at most

Do wins in April count?

That Toledo lineup looks better than some Tigers teams of recent memory.

Yeah, the good old days were almost 50 years ago now, but I was found in the bushes outside my university residence building, early on a Sunday morning, after having bought and consumed a lot of beer at the folk club on Saturday night, The legend was that it was 20 but realistically probably only 14.

You see, I played this game, and I know a 100 mph fastball when I see one, and that's not a 100 mph fastball.

Corrected to say first base coach, not third
