Tenacious D

Probably the right move. Foley likely not available. Hinch doesn’t like to abandon his guys.

Lange get the 9th?

Makes sense. I would be curious why the Tigers think Maton is a good fit in the 5th spot. They aren’t stupid, but this has been a curious move.

I’m on it.

Instead we got a Tork F-Bomb. Not as satisfying.

We need a Tork Bomb!

Has anyone ever seen Crazy Cat Gentleman and Tigermojo in the same room?

No pinch runner for Miggy in the 7th? Vote of confidence that they want to keep his bat in the lineup?

Yes, I wonder if Mike I. really knew what he was signing off on with the original design/dimensions.

These 5 words have never been strung together before.

Brady Allen, who we acquired last month from the Marlins, has been raking at West Michigan. In only 67 AB’s, he has 6 dingers and 18 RBI’s, to go with a .284/.405/.567 slash. He was a 5th round pick. I can see him moving up to Erie soon.

Duh No is advocating that.

Actually, I know a lot about these things. Keith is stuck in a lease and is trying to find someone to sublet his apartment. Once successful, he’s Toledo-bound.

Miggy still raking. I thought Short was safe on the replay. Probably should not have been sent, but that happens when you’re in a low scoring game.

Anyone named Katniss at your District?

I’d also be OK with trading prospects that other teams value for players that fit our team. We can take on salary. We don’t have to label our activity as either buying or selling—I think we can consider both.

I don’t want to live in a world where a guy named Justice doesn’t prevail. MLB or bust.

This is clearly a team that gets exposed when playing good teams, but can more than handle its own against comparable ones.

Quit thinking playoffs or contending. This is about surviving the balance of the season (again).

I think the correct and appropriate action is to treat this like a physical injury. And demonstrate some empathy and understanding. No one truly knows what he is going through, and I suspect more players will come forward as mental health issues become increasingly prevalent. As stated, his presence on the roster does not adversely impact the organization. He should not be discarded.

Hadn’t seen that. That was a miss by Harris, unless Chafin left out that he wanted a no-trade in his deal, which would diminish his ultimate value to the Tigers.

Tomorrow’s thread up already? Somebody’s pretty excited, methinks.

Time to move him back to 3B?

The kids are alright—dingers tonight from Pacheco, Jung, Meadows and the already mentioned, Keith.
