I’ve been playing around with player lists too-for the remainder of the season and into the playoffs. I don’t see anyone including R Montero as part of either. He looked decent in his last two outings, including closing out a win. I wonder if he’s got a (limited) role going forward or just a temporary arm. At the same time I wonder how many more chances Paddack gets.
Quibble: the plane on the right is a Hurricane. I think the left is too, but I can’t tell. But the message of support for allies is the important part. 👍🏻
Agree, he’s not that young. I assume the team is factoring in all sorts of possibilities for the future and not getting too attached to players. Same with Rogers.
As @gehringer_2 pointed out, the Tigers pushed Brown’s pitch count up, so he lasted six innings. Then the used their three best relievers for 7/8/9. We got seven from Skubal, and then our two best relievers.
