In fairness, the first strike was really a ball. However, he was fooled on the next two pitches.

Realize it’s a judgment call, but I think it’s the prevailing attitude from fans. The crazy swings and erratic throws might contribute to it.

A different era for sure. Miss manager’s losing their shit.

I believe in Holmes and Campbell. They are much smarter and have access to way more information--they have earned my unconditional trust in this draft.

it's really hard to gauge how good this team is or how enjoyable this season will be, especially after two games against a good team. but I can't fault fans for being cynical, especially after the expectations everyone had going into last season only to experience the train wreck which was the 2022 season (by far, the least enjoyable season in my lifetime). we really did very little to improve the offense--management's hands were tied to some degree, but it seems like we are counting on big improvements and turnarounds, which could happen. The team is lacking in likable identities--I think Greene and Tork can be those guys, but they have to achieve some success for that to happen. Miggy is a shell of himself and both Baez and Schoop are extremely unlikable. Everyone else is kind of meh.

Must win

There’s always tomorrow.

Glad our RBI leader, Miggy, is on the team. #AdoptATiger

Yes—remember they went 3 days without any games. Plus the off-day. I would expect all of the position players rotated through this weekend.

How do I not know who she is?

You have to wonder if he has an arm injury?

still a couple of days--they'll get it done.

y'all scoffed at me when I suggested he might end up at 3B, where he's probably a better fit.

This offense looks vaguely familiar.

No Maton? Strictly going by the book on that one.

Our new scrubs are better than our old scrubs.

No worries—we got Grant Witherspoon.

Can’t that be said of Tyler Nevin and Zach McKinstry, too?

Or the Tigers are holding their own Pitch, Hit and Run competition on the back fields to inform their final roster selections.

A big (or small) external move coming today or tomorrow? They must be working on something if they don’t want to announce the final roster.

I’m expecting upgrades from Greene, Tork, Baez and Meadows. I also agree that our catching combo will be better than the black hole that was Barnhart. Maton > Candy, and more AB’s going to Carpenter at Miggy’s expense should be a good thing.
