Here's Fulmer in a high leverage situation
-
OK 90 pitches is more than enough
-
What a crazy at bat for Turner
-
Leadoff man gets on.
-
I don't think that the manager is important enough to fire in this situation. The 3 catchers on the big league roster is his fault, and people were complaining last week that he was mishandling Soto. But there isn't any evidence that he is worse than the alternatives at this point.

Do those nuclear missiles even work anymore, or has all of the maintenance budget been stolen every year for the past 30 years?
-
Carrying 3 catchers, none of whom are much good, makes no sense at all. Your bench is 2 catchers and 2 Castros.
-
With the same pitch?
-
Hinch loves his "versatility".

HAPPY SKUDAY

I remember a guy who shoved the ball, he was in the Orioles bullpen in the late 60s and his name was Dick Hall, and of course we all referred to him as Dick All. He was a right-hander who pushed the ball out from his right shoulder. In our late teens in the late 60s, warming up before the game, half of the guys would be doing Luis Tiant and the other half would be doing Dick Hall.

OK so the question is: who was the Tigers player that was younger than you, the first time that the Tigers had a player on the team that was younger than you were?
-
OK, at the time of his debut was there anyone younger on the team?

The first time the Tigers had a player younger than you.

Oliver Cromwell says hi.

When I saw that I thought "don't you mean Brian DuBose? Who never reached the majors?" But no they are two different guys and Brian Dubois' existence had somehow eluded me until just now.

If they are so fixated on keeping Willi on or around the team, and I don't blame them for trying to rediscover that .900 OPS bat from that short season a couple of years ago, then teach him to put on the tools and be the emergency catcher. It's really stupid to carry 3 actual catchers. Or do it with Harold, I don't care. But 3 catchers who can't hit, that is failing some sort of sanity test.
-
I know, this 3rd catcher is an anvil to drag around when trying to substitute late in the game. It's really dumb roster construction when all 3 catchers kind of suck. Really dumb. Keep Haase, he can play some other spots in a pinch (probably better than catcher), but his role is platoon catcher, not the myth of this versatile guy.
-
Yes, he might have to settle for the single A hall of fame.
-
Not right away, Hinch would lose the players if a mistake like that has immediate punitive consequences. And Barnhart and Garneau will have plenty of opportunities to stink.
-
Definitely, he earned his place on this year's 25. No question.
-
Heartwarming story, occasional power, but I don't think he gets 400 PA's on a good team. Heck, he might not even be on a good team.

Brandy here, lots of it
-
Don't worry, he will be smiling again some day, like he normally is.
-
And then unhittable gas for 3 called strikes
