Please tell me Manning isn't hurt now too!

Beck says that Willi was just removed from the Toledo lineup so it looks like the Castrai are getting back together.

Usually those 1/8 and 2/7 matchups are major mismatches and go 5 games at most but these 2/7 matchups are kinda intriguing. I think both favorites will win but I think they will be far closer than you normally see in those seeds.

Buxton is potentially a top 10 player in all of baseball when he is on the field, unfortunately for him and the Twins that doesn't happen nearly enough.

I remember back in 2010 he IBB'd Cabrera 3 straight games in the 9th, and all 3 times 1B was occupied and he was the winning run which completely went against conventional wisdom. It of course worked out cause Boesch shit the bed all 3 times. I think that was the real genesis of the whole "we need to get Miggy some protection" movement which eventually led to us getting VMart that offseason.

I actually forgot about Faedo, yeah it's a shame for him that his injury happened when it did cause IIRC he was starting to look alot better towards the end of 2019. If he didn't get hurt in the summer of 2020 I imagine he would've been called up in that COVID season for the Tigers.

I mean to be fair on paper we did improve a lot up the middle. We went from the Castrai manning 2B and SS to Baez and Schoop. We also expected Greene and Hill to be manning CF instead of Baddoo and Reyes like last year.

He did, I believe it was the very next game or next appearance after we thought we had something with Fulmer as a closer. He struck out the side while throwing triple digits, I remember Lynn singing his praises and all of us being overjoyed...then the next night or outing that happened with Santana.

Jeimer got off to a brutal start in the COVID shortened year and last year he only had a .660 OPS in April before turning it on both years so I'm not worried yet. He appears to be a guy that takes longer to start seeing the ball.

Seeing Tork launch a no doubter to LF brought back memories of prime Miggy when he used to do that regularly.

TORK!!!!

LMAO! First they use their entire draft on pitchers, now they do this. Talk about having no faith in your staff!

I just saw in the background that KC scoreboard posts the launch angle and exit velo on balls. I haven't been to a game in a few years, is that common place in parks now?

Another would be out that the Tigers give up.

Baez definitely makes that play!

I'm sure Baez makes that play.

Witt definitely is smooth defensively over there at 3rd, I imagine not many balls are going to get by him and Mondesi on that side.

Best thing to happen in that hellhole stadium since Granderson robbed Sizemore.

Skubal with a nice 1-2-3 1st, k's both Witt and Perez swinging.

Yeah it was a little low but it wasn't a huge drop off like you see if it ends up being something major. Like he was still touching 96 on the TV gun, so the optimistic in me wants to think it isn't something too severe but I guess you never know with pitchers.

Please somebody with more medical knowledge than me talk me off the ledge! The laymen in me wants to think that elbow sprain sounds like an impact injury like a ball off the elbow or something but I really don't know.

If the rest of the guys start hitting I think you can afford atleast 1 black hole in the lineup if he can save some outs and in turn pitches for our young pitchers. Plus smalll sample aside Hill did put up a 95 OPS+ last year in 150abs so it wasn't like he was completely terrible. If he could hit near that and provide plus defense I would be fine with him until Greene comes back.
