Agree 1000%. I have always chosen defense first. No clown shows please. Baez does have value as captain of the infield. We win Tuesdays game with him. McKinstry not covering third and dividing at player to luckily get an out and Keith letting a trow go through, Kriedler and Greene clanking balls off their gloves. And Hinch continues the merry go round of players changing positions. It's embarrising.

It just wears you down year after year.

What is the blueprint again ?

At this point just play Kriedler every day and see what he can do. Josh dummy we talk about giving runway and now we play McKinstry who we know is a bench player.

That runner was a dead duck if McKinstry covers third as he should have. Two days without Baez and we have one loss and added runs today. Defense matters especially at shortstop.

Clown 🤡 show two days in a row.

McStinky forgot to cover third

Bloodbath brewing

How does this look for Jace Jung ?

So the best players we drafted, Carpenter and Skubal, did not require tanking. Great.

He declared his timeline with last years draft taking Clark instead of Langford. We are currently still in a rebuild but, hopefully, a much smarter one done by a much smarter GM.

Yes but game over if he was playing.

Anybody miss Baez yet ?

Verling should play every day in centerfield period. His defense is excellent and he hits well in consideration of that. He’s not a fourth outfielder in my opinion. At least not on this team.

He's not taking my calls or mail...gonna send him a Fedex or maybe try a SNL candy gram ?

If the price is right....Holiday and Mayo..left side of the infield potentially solved.....

That’s what I have been saying. They are stacked.

Yes sellers again and again and again and again ………

Great clips as always. Thanks again.

So for puuureeee speculation Harris extends Flattery and signs Bregman and Adames in the off season. Is that enough ?

Sadly this seems like a very accurate summary to me. I bet Harris has thought this all along and thats why his last draft was high schoolers and I bet he pairs them up with more this draft. Me thinks his window is 2027-2028 and I bet he has told Junior as much during his interview. But I'm not a betting man.

Why wasn't he playing first base in Toledo ? How much do coaches need to see in order to determine someone does not have the skill set to play a position. It's become an epidemic in Detroit. Still ongoing.

Did Badoo call him off the play ?

I do not understand this lineup. Our best outfielder is playing third base, our best third basemen is playing first base and our two worst outfielders are both in the game together when a better outfielder is the DH. Did I get that right ? Maybe the worst outfield arms in the game all playing together with Perez on the bench. Why not.

The “ calculated risk “ move is Skubal hard as it would be. He is a Boras client and we will not extend him at their price. He has two additional years of control and is currently at peak value. So I call Baltimore and entice their new owner with an opportunity to win it all this year while they still have Corbin Burnes and offer Skubes and Jung for Jackson Holiday and Colby Mayo both of which are blocked at the major league level with Gunner and Westbrrg. This solves the left side of our infield with player the same age and control as Max Clark, McGonigle , Briceno, Jobe, Colt Keith, Riley Greene and Olsen. Giving us a solid core of players in key up the middle positions on the cheap leaving $$$ to add pitching or what pushes us over the top.
