Big win and character builder today. Marisnick was a good hustle pick up by Harris. Mckinstry with the play of the game.

Nor count on him becoming more than a terrible fielding second baseman who can't hit the fastball. But we can hope and I have been more wrong than right so his chances remain . 🙂

I am very happy with Harris and for me Hinch has gone from solid to "not so sure" but not looking for change. I also think he would do very well in sales after his managing days.

Rileys left leg so thats his back and stress leg when hitting if I'm correct so I'm guessing 60 day DL is around the corner.. How does this happen ? Just fragile ? Freak accident ? Erod and Greene for Olson and Marisnick . Ya that will work. Our two most impactful player down at the same time ? WHY ????

Too bad Al didn't take Neto who was the next pick by the Angels and is playing good shortstop in the majors now and holding his own with the bat.

1972 Tigers and Billy Martin excelled with platooning. It's been around forever.

That puncher’s chance of winning the division just evaporated.

Sweep these suckers !

It also could have simply been an element of time and priorities. The entire organization- top to bottom- majors and Minors - was mess and Harris had to restructure all of it - coaches- philosophy -training- stadium - nutrition - Medical - moving his family - roster pruning etc takes time as does recruiting free agents.

No and No thank you

I understand Miggy's .161 slugging .431 OPS in May is in an entitlement we all must endure but does the man have no shame. And Hinch has selectively chosen his opportunities to reach these lofty goals.

I think Harris will stay the course and trade Rodriguez and possibly Lange at the deadline and if not then this off season. I trust his judgment and that’s the biggest improvement over last year for me.

Maybe Malloy and Keith will just spend the year in the minors..or until September call ups just to work on their defense.

Just play Short more consistently first. He’s a solid defender and better than Schoop Ibanez Joyce etc. I mean don’t overdo it but certainly against lefties.

Sasquatch ?

And we all know who won the last baseball championship that really counted !!

Holding my breath and rooting hard on Tork that it becomes reality. He, Greene and Skuball are still the main drivers of our future success since their ceilings could be quite high.

We are close to good now and probably better come July. I am encouraged.

All three ?

Sweep these fools. Gotta get GREEDY !!!

This is the final answer. New age POBO’s have a “value” for every player and Candy didn’t pencil out.

Wentz left in one batter too many. What I don't understand, or maybe don't know, is why does a manager leave a pitcher in too long in a winnable game to save the bullpen but once the game is lost by leaving him in too long immediately takes him out to burden the bullpen anyway? Why not take him out of a winnable game instead of a lost game ? Or once the starter has screwed the pooch then just leave him in to save the bullpen for tomorrow. What am I missing because every manager seems to do that.

Now you take him out. Wake up from a nap ?

Perhaps our greatest Tiger of all time ? Three full years and parts of two others age 30-31-32-33-34 lost to Military service during WW2. I say yes.

I was referring to his free agency after 2023.
