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.

Good question—seems like they could have played tomorrow, at least.

Not exactly in the best shape of his career.

I like your W/L prediction for the Tigers—I would have guessed 75 wins. individual predictions are interesting. I agree ERod gets dealt, but I’m predicting to the Yankees. Their starting rotation is a mess and they have too much invested in that team to win to trust their minors guys. We might have to take on another contract (ie, Donaldson or LeMehieu), to get a good prospect or two in return. I think our team ROY will be Carpenter. I don’t see Sands getting called up, barring an injury or poor performance by our catchers. I also think Greene will lead in BA and HR.

I’m not comparing the merits of Schoop vs Kreidler. Just stating that there will be zero interest in trade for Schoop. Teams rarely makes trades before the deadline and the other GM’s aren’t stupid. The reason we don’t want Schoop on the roster is the same that another team would never give up anything of value and/or take on his contract. The only reason to take Schoop north is if he is our best option or the Tigers want Kreidler getting more time in Toledo. But not as a showcase in a trade.
