Tenacious D

I don't follow the Giants or the NL that closely, so don't know many of the names that were acquired, either via trade or waivers, but the list appears to be underwhelming. I remember the Cozart trade--it was suggested here by a few that that was the type of trade that the Tigers should make--take on a bad contract to get a good prospect in return. No idea how that panned out with Will Wilson, though (too lazy to look).

according to their Twitter account, this is the first time in their history that they have made it this far? I like their chances in a short series, with Flores and Olsen getting starts. Unfortunately, Madden looks like he might have hit a wall in his first full season of play.

This contract did not set back anything for the Tigers. A lot of hyperbole here.

Gum Time, part deux? I’d be OK with that.

Bonehead call by Santiago. No reason to send Candy, when it would have been 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Have yourself a night, Mr. Small Sample Size!

Now we just need to get Baddoo and Greene to stop terrifying poor Nathan during every other commercial break.

Yes. And 90% of Tigers viewers thought, “what did that nerd just say?”

Do we like Wentz? Please tell me how I should think.

Shep just said, “hold my beer!”

Jack Morris bungling his interview with Scott Harris. <yawn>

The answer to each of those is Jamie Moyer, I believe.

Separated at birth?

Miggy is 2-2 tonight. Coincidence?

They are up 12-0 in the 7th on my broadcast.

There is no Tiger with a .700 OPS in tonight’s lineup. 5 of them have an OPS of .603 or lower. That is all

I hate it. (somebody has to be the contrarian)

If he’s facing Pittsburgh’s pitching, he already has a shot.

I think most of your assumptions make sense, though I don’t think Cruz warrants being considered as a starter. I wonder if they’d push Graham that high? I would think he’d be at West Michigan, at least.

Seems kind of a mixed thing that he has moved faster than the more heralded Jung and Graham.

One of you wet blankets gonna tell me that Danny Serretti ain’t all that? Kind of impressive what he’s done in his debut, albeit in fewer than 100 AB’s.

Not familiar with Anderson and Magno, but everyone else looks right. Guess Crouch can go next year after a season in Erie.

Hot off the Twitter…

I can't lose any sleep over this. Happy for the guy, but doesn't seem like his success will be sustainable long term. At the time, we probably thought we would get Meadows back, and Baddoo had been hitting well in Toledo. Sure it's hindsight now, but at the time, I wanted Baddoo to get the AB's. If there is a silver lining, Thompson might have been able to help us win a couple of more games that would only hurt our draft lottery odds for next year.
