Tenacious D

These are some impressive games for sure, but what about Tom Veryzer’s MLB debut?!?

This trade deadline could be fascinating. If we are a sub .500 team, I could see many players on the chopping block, including Skubal, Greene, Mize and Carp.

I read that Gibby was ready to kill Pudge when he disrespected Tram.

the collapse September makes this start more concerning. Let’s hope it’s a weather thing or just our rough stretch that every team goes through at some point in the season. It’s just more alarming when it happens at the beginning of the season.

Riley will be fine, but could be a deadline deal if we turn into sellers

If this continues, which I don’t think it will, the blame will be squarely on his shoulders.

If the Tigers continue like this for the next 20 games or so, the natives will be calling for Harris’ head.

His loss was our gain.

J. Jones—you have one job. Hit lefties. Bring up Clark or Perez and end this

I think these takes of Clark being a bonehead are both lazy and false. Every interview I’ve seen with, he is humble and grounded. Ignore the chains and tattoos and whatever associations you might have with them. He’s solid.

I think Clark could. I’m not putting much stock in his spring—he’s playing in more competitive games now. I’d still give him another 25-30 games before a promotion, but he close and has the talent for disruption. Think a Parker Meadows with a much better hit tool and plate discipline. A McGonigle /Clark/Keith combination at the top of the order could wreak havoc and make Greene, Carp and Tork more productive.

at least we saw Skubal in his prime.

This is starting to feel like September again.

Have the Lions ever drafted a player that was frequently mocked to their pick (or that they were allegedly interested in)? Genuinely asking because I don’t know.

This team is not good (yet). A lot of sloppy play this season.

Yes. I think everyone put a lot of stock in last season, with no previous track record. I think I’d rather have Wenceel back.

Are they still doing their podcast? It was a bit fluffy, but always on the lookout for Tigers content.

Think we have to stop pinch hitting for Keith prior to the 8th inning.

Anyone else more confident in Montero than Verlander in the rotation?

We’ve now won two of three series. let’s get the sweep to equalize the AZ series.

Must Sweep

That’s on Hinch. Flaherty should have been on a short leash to start the inning. He and Harris are off to a rough start to the season.

Plus two HBP

At least we got one more game out of him than Cobb.

This is why Flaherty is so frustrating. I think he’d be better in the pen where you have to bear down.
