  1. It's true. Hard to believe.
  2. Marlins aren't very good. Why would they trade for David Robertson? EDIT - because they hold the last wild card. So go for it I guess.
  3. Arraez didn't get a hit today...and still has 5 for the series.
  4. Bottom 5 in the Marlins order have each scored at least 1 run and driven in at least 1.
  5. It's a tie game, potential for extra innings, and we just wasted a backup infielder on an unsuccessful platoon pinch hitting appearance. Remember his post-game excuse when he sent up Haase instead of Cabrera? "I didnt have an infielder", a self inflicted wound after wasting Ibanez as a pinch hitter.
  6. Little Miggy hits a triple.
  7. Wow Arraez got out twice in a row.
  8. 18 pitch inning for Skubal there, 39 total after 3 innings.
  9. I got 2 correct today, and they both had rarity scores of over 50%. My problem is that I am trying to match up events that happened in the 1960s and 1970s, I'm pretty clueless after that.
  10. Lange with a 12 pitch inning to finish things off. That was a solid win, it never felt in doubt except for Foley wobbling.
  11. With a positive result, Rogers scores on a double.
  12. Cabrera hits a two-out single - that's 2 hits today - and then Rogers pinch runs for him. That seems like a strange choice.
  13. Holton comes in for the third out, no damage. Foley's arm is in a gym bag packed in ice.
  14. Foley starts the 8th with a 9 pitch walk, then 11 pitches for a ground ball.
  15. Clark hit that triple off a lefthander. Don't tell the top brass.
  16. Interesting but he isn't better than Rogers, at least I don't think so. How much money does he make? Probably too much to catch once or twice a week. Rogers needs to catch 140 games, provide elite defense, hit 27 home runs, and make All Star teams. Let's have a look at Donny Sands.
  17. Nah. He makes some goofy moves, especially the platoon fetish, but it's a goofy roster. I don't imagine anyone else would do better, maybe a game or two but nothing magical. We aren't in any position to determine if the players have tuned him out but so what if they have? Most of them don't belong here.
  18. Carpenter's OPS vs lefthanders is .617. Haase's is .395. These are advanced stats that clearly aren't available to the Tigers' brain trust.
  19. Is Donny Sands a good defender? All he has to do is catch twice a week and NOT pinch hit.
  20. A stolen base would have been useful during Haase's AB.
  21. Ibanez says it isn't over yet.
  22. Tork says it isn't over yet.
