Ty Madden says, “hold my beer, kid”

Casey confirmed to need TJ surgery. TBD on when it will happen. Seemed inevitable. Let’s get him back on the road to recovery sooner.

He’s not injured—had an exposed to COVID. Sounds precautionary and probably a protocol.

I like how the old board would use characters (#$%&) to block swear words. Made it more impactful than actually seeing them.

if he was younger/more junior in his career, he'd be extended some mercy and sent to Toledo to work things out. Unfortunately, he has to try and solve this facing MLB pitchers--I suspect a lot of it is mental now and is just digging a hole for himself. I'd give serious consideration to bringing in a former coach who has worked with him (and not currently hired by another organization), if that person exists. The guy needs to hear an external voice that he can trust right now.

I’d actually be shocked if we see Baddoo back in Detroit this year. He was a great story—we’ll always have fond memories of 2021.

MLB OF: Grossman, Meadows, Greene and Reyes Toledo: Baddoo, Cameron, Hill and Robson Carpenter’s very high K rate looks like it will be a problem for him as he moves up another level, though I’d still be OK with he and the Maple Hammer changing teams.

Daniel Cabrera has raked since being demoted to High A. Hope he can work on some things and make his way back up to Erie at some point this season.

Competent baseball

As a reminder, this is the 11:35 am ET game on Peacock. Tune in to see if the Tigers are able to score a run.

Only if Lynn Henning declares it so. Right now he thinks Greene requires 5 weeks to rehab.

I’ll put Baddoo in the Boesch/Chris Shelton camp, until he proves otherwise.

Minors are a bit barren—Campos, lil’ Meadows, Cabrera and Packard all are big question marks. Maybe we can get a Brennan Boesch-like half season out of Kerry Carpenter at some point.

Tigers win this one, 6-3. Brieske gives up 3 solo HR’s, but Yankees can’t overcome Tucker Barnhart’s 5-5, 3 HR game.

Hey, we contributed

This didn’t age well. I’m sorry to anyone who selected Schoop and lost any money. I will have a sure fire prediction for tonight’s game to make up for this.

This reads like a post on Next Door. Shouldn’t you just email AJ Hinch directly?

the outcome for tonight, that you can take to Vegas, is a 6-3 Tigers victory. And if you're gonna pick a stick, make it be Schoop's. thank me later.

ironic that I originally suggested that Carpenter and Robson should switch teams--probably not the outcome that Robson would embrace.

Jealous

Isn’t Peacock free?

I know you should draft for BPA, but there are also a slew of good hitting OFers who are being mocked to us, or adjacent to our pick. Given the success we're seeing with Keith, Perez, Pacheco, and potential with our international guys (Santana and Sequeira), along with our long-term commitment to Baez, I wonder if they'll go OF, which all of a sudden seems a bit barren in our organization (both Cabrera and Packard have disappointed).

I'm a fan. I know he's young, but hope the plan is to get him up to Erie at some point.

Cut him some slack—was probably a ‘roid rage.

Folks, I’m gonna need a ruling on Wenceel. Only 22, so he’s not old for High A, and on pace for a 20-20 season. Legit?
