Tenacious D

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.

and maybe fix our SS problem.

agree with your 2nd point. He was still young for Erie--let him go into the offseason feeling good about his season. And we should, too. Greatly reduced his K's--if his K rate can hover around 25%, he might be a good major leaguer as his combination of speed and power is certainly appealing. Toledo will be a good test--looking forward to following his progress there, along with Wenceel Perez.

I doubt the Tigers will position themselves that way. If they really want to sell him, they will point to the young core that has had some unfortunate injuries and bad luck. They won't be tearing anything down (or at least I doubt the new GM will overtly do that). Of course, they will play to his ego, by telling him they will move Baez to 2B to accommodate him, and that he will be an essential part of their quick turnaround. I don't think their record this year will have any bearing on his decision. Remember that this is a guy who had to sign a one-year deal last offseason, so he'll follow money and long term security

Both equally punchable faces.
