Great Play by Baez to save that inning.

I tend to agree but tough to prove. I hope Harris approaches MLB for an additional draft pick to replace the one Al foolishly traded in the least. It's a fair and easy fix. Tampa keeps their bounty and we get at least some compensation. Having said that I doubt it happens. Meadows will retire with salary is my guess.

Badoo is indeed blocked by Miguel. Also Austin Meadows is a concern. So probably leave Badoo in Toledo until the direction of those two are more clear. Schoop and McKinstry also on thin ice.

That's two big 3 run bombs for Cisneros and a real crusher today. Not good.

If it snows Miggy will homer. Historical Fact.

So they probably wouldn't even let Miggy free with payment if he wanted to ? I guess you can't blame them it is 32 very very large.

Maybe we turned Soto and Jimenez into three starters by seasons end ? That plus both Tork and Greene reaching potential would move forward very nicely.

Ok thanks I will accept it..what phase is that ? No more wishing. Hope he has a few key on the field moments this year as well.

What happens if Miggy literally can’t hit anymore? How long until he sees the light ?

Acceptable

Amen to that !!

Who was that masked man !!

140 million contract in hand. Must do something you don’t see.

Schoops range at 2B exposed w/o the shift. Good decision. 2nd best to DFA ( motivation to mash ?)

Thats the correct call for all three. Schoop gone- Maton at second and Nevin at third

Play him every day

Not me. You ?

Stop with the facts !

I agree. I meant honeymoon with the fans. It was poorly worded post.

I think Hinch is solidly in place as manager but his honeymoon time is over. When G2 mentioned "over coaching" the large gong bell was ringing loudly. But the real problem is talent. We have very little in my "fan" estimation and I am afraid we are closer to the beginning of a rebuild than the end which literally makes me want to cry. Skuball (hurt) - Greene- Baez- can be called stars or soon to be. Three. Mize-Manning-sorry average at best. Rogers-Maton-Verling-Rodrigues-Lange-Boyd look potentially to be above average MLB players. Slightly above. Meadows has lost his power. If he finds it then add him to above average player but no longer a star. Torkelson is a groundball machine and for me, my hopefully wrong opinion, is a dime a dozen first baseman that can be had most every off season for 3 to 5 million. Of all the players that seem to be over coached he is number one. In the minors we have one dude that is a potential two way star- Parker Meadows. Mallory and Keith Ala Carpenter can hit but where do they play ? Jobe-forget it. Al Avila made a huge mess and Chris Illitch trusted him foolishly. Harris is a great hire but he has mountain to climb. Going to be a while. The Tampa series showed how over matched they really are and there are many teams better than tampa.

So 3 games in we are 3 games out of first...is that perfect ? And I really like Baez but no matter the $$ he won't stay around if we keep losing and if he comes to that conclusion soon he will have another poor year. Dude needs energy to perform. And Torkelson is a groundball machine..ya ya the exit velo is high generating outs. Maton is a middle infielder. Just put him at second and end Johnny's pain now. Rogers should catch every day. Pitchers seem to respond to him. Just find AB's for Haase elsewhere. On to Houston. Didn't we sweep them there last year ?

As a multiple decade Tiger fan I admit my patience is worn out. I don’t like commenting negatively and I do like Scot Harris and support playing young players with potential but the clown show and blowouts have to stop. Yes only two games but they were really ugly and the tv crew is simply terrible. Alas I will be watching ..not listening…with fingers crossed. Or maybe it’s time to just listen to the radio.

Carpenter to DH only please Maton to second every day. Cut Johnny. Rogers catch most days. Kriedler at third. Verling in right full time. Haase DH, C, and left field. Meadows in Left most days. McStinky etc all to bench and Miggy plays very sparingly. I don’t buy the super play everyone everywhere strategy. Put our best defense on the field until we find equal defenders who hit better. This shell game needs good players also and the defense suffers trying so hard to get matchups. Tampa does it because their players are good.

Well when we’re cheering our hitters taking more pitches and high exit velocity turns to cheering walk homers and runs then we might have something.

Nice play Meadows
