  1. I'm trying to think of times when the Tigers acquired a first rate bat in exchange for pitching. Yoenis Cespedes certainly qualifies. Have there been others?
  2. Smith and McHale were eminently qualified...after all, their dads were famous baseball executives. They decided to design a park for the "National League style of play", for a franchise that had been defined by power hitting for generations. They were clowns.
  3. I hope that that is the reason why Ibanez is in the outfield.
  4. Ibanez and Schoop are both in the lineup and no one is complaining, because Maton is drawing all the fire now!
  5. Correct, and it doesn't matter if the second baseman has an OBP below .300 because he makes up for it with moxie and grit. He's got a great baseball name too, something like Donny Day, not a doofus name like Spencer.
  6. If Maton has to stay on the team, can he at least not hit in the top 5 in the batting order?
  7. No he's just trying to save money.
  8. His career reminds me of JD Martinez and I am hoping that the improvement continues to the point where you have to keep his bat in the lineup, and you live with his glove.
  9. 5-run innings are good when they are for the Tigers
  10. Ibanez takes second, so now Miggy can't GIDP
  11. Varland goes 4 and one-third on 99 pitches.
  12. Carpenter's power is a welcome addition.
  13. Varland cruised through 3 innings on 66 pitches
  14. Harris is making out the lineup?
  15. Malloy hit .205 in May, and is at .226 for June, so I don't think it makes sense to call him up.
  16. That's so good, I know that these players are hoping for a chance at the show, maybe a second chance, but it would be great for the local baseball community if some players came back for a season or two.
  17. I don't see any harm in leaving him there.
  18. I know that the Twins have a. 500 record but I think they are a lot worse than that.
  19. Perfect through 3 and a half.
  20. 2 perfect games going, through 2 and a half innings.
  21. I like Vierling but the next time he tries to steal a base I am going to shoot him.
  22. Someone needs to tell Justice Bigbie that he isn't a prospect.
  23. Christie is a clown but you have to give him credit, he has the stones to risk extreme harm for himself. I hope there aren't any debates in Montana.
