Tenacious D

Do what I do—just squint while watching the games.

Is this good?

Lee and McGonigle will be knocking on the door next season. Combined with Keith and Jung in the middle infielder mix, I don’t see them extending Torres. Both player and team entered into this with the idea that it would be for one season. Could change, but I doubt it. He’s only willing to play one position, which limits his flexibility and is not the type of profile Harris and Hinch love.

The extent of my reading comprehension and information is fully formed here. Just hope none of you put up a paywall on your significant insights.

I don’t see the Tigers blocking a path for all of the middle infielders coming. And they are going to start having to do what the Lions have—pay their own players. Skubal being the obvious, but at some point you’ll want to lock up Greene, Carp, maybe, Tork. Our payroll could soon climb.

Our Rooftop Jones!

You’re comparing apples to oranges, a bit. An apt comparison would be Jason and Andy and both of those guys would be all over this like a bum on a ham sandwich.

6/3/25: Revenge of the Nerds

Aren’t we all?

Finally get to see a win in person. Helps that it was the ChiSux.

Woodward Cruz

Is Jackson Strong legit? 7th rounder. Low A, but looks promising so far.

Meh

Skubal looks to be scheduled for Thursday. Use a bullpen game and push him to Friday night at home vs the Cubs?

Also, in addition to today’s Tiger win, each of our four minor league affiliates won. I believe this is the 3rd Flying Dutchmen of the season, and it’s only June 1!

This is nuts

Yep. Finally gonna see some prospects dealt for established players.

Gonna be lucky to finish 5 IP tonight.

What’s up with Mize? Please get the ball down next inning.

Next season would be shot either way, so might be worth waiting.

Congrats, Tommy

Don’t know the roster implications, but even when he’s ready I think he stays in Toledo until we have a need for a starter. Cobb is the wildcard in a lot of this—I’m sure he’ll be in the rotation when ready. If no openings, I think they’ll eventually move Jobe into a relief role to limit his innings this season. Probably a 3 inning guy, RH version of Hurter.

He would be living up to his name if that happens.

And Rooftop Jones. And Barbaro Garbey. Great role players.

Poor management or is Denver a bad location for baseball, or a combination of both? Always remember Smokey retiring mid season when he managed there, basically surrendering.
