None of those sound good. Thanks for the enlightenment. Hope it settles soon and in a good way.

It can't be health related can it because he would be paid. Can anyone translate ?

I think if Detroit makes any deadline deals they will be trading pitchers. That’s our real surplus. At least until it’s not. See Barnes. Jacob.

Yea stet day I was again hopeful and today it’s back to tears. What a roller coaster and what a fool I am for hoping. What are the odds of so many veteran players turning to toast at the same time ? Grossman Schoop Barnhart Baez Candy Meadows all giving nothing or very little at all offensively.

Wasn't that the "take " on Issac Parades as well. Too selective. Now he is showing power in Tampa. Not knocking the trade but has analytics made Geeks out of hitters ?

Tough game today not winning a Skubal start and now four games without him pitching again.

Great win today with solid pitching. If we can get some production at leadoff and some guys turn the corner........

That has to be on Al doesn’t it ?

I hope AJ gives Reyes a good run of playing time ala Willie Castro. It seems I have alligned myself with Reyes and Baez but I remain confident in both despite the egg on my face to date. But today with Gausmen might be ugly.

You would think Baez should try crowding plate like right on it and if you think you might get hit by the pitch swing. 😊 seriously it seems he doesn’t know where the plate is.

Much better said than me.

Oops Kdog said this much better !

Well at least it opens playing time for Reyes and Cameron to make final evaluations and allow Riley to play and make his MLB adjustment in a lost season like Tork. Another lost season 😞

Grossman deal with the devil expires.

What happened. I turned it off.

It seems everything Al does backfires. I admit thinking his off season moves were solid. Barnhart Baez Erod Meadows extending Schoop Grossman year before. Badoo crashing. Snake eyes on all of them. Now Mize. Manning next ? Mayer killing it for Boston in the minors and Jobe looking pedestrian. So I don’t know what to think of Al.

Thanks. Too bad they hesitated but it’s understandable. Maybe he can come back quick like Verlander the freak.

So best case for Mize is pitching effectively in 2025 ?

The beauty of sports is the objective nature of the games. Scoreboard. Politics and religion and all things not sports should be kept separate. Honor Jackie Robinson and leave it at that. The rest is a slippery slope snd owners trying to gain "acceptance/$" probably loose as much as they gain. Just promote the GAME.

You may very well be correct as I am certainly no expert but I think Reyes has shown more power recently and deserves a look since they are all essentially battling for the fourth outfielder's job on a contending team. I guess time will tell.

W. Castro, Hill , Clemens and Cameron are not major league players and should all be demoted. Victor Reyes , once healed, should play every day for at least 200 abs so we know what he really can do for 2023. Badoo needs to improve his outfield routes in AAA. Grossman is a free agent and most likely will not be resigned nor have any trade value come August 2 so he does not need to play everyday. Reyes- Greene- Meadows should get the bulk of the time in Detroit for this year for best results now and planning for 2023. It's simple to me but Al still grips on the guys he traded for hoping to find the Leprechaun's gold. Time to move on.

I will take that trade. Now play Meadows Hill Cameron in the outfield every day please.

A person’s relationship with his or her Savior , Jesus for me , weather Christian Jew Buddhist Muslim or other is between said individual and their God. There isn’t a need for a middleman. Play ball⚾️

My wish is the same as always and that is to compete. Put the best defensive team available that day on the field and try to win. It's ok to lose but no reason to be embarrassed with keystone cops defense. We don't hit enough to give away bases or runs.

What about the one when he ran straight in for a ball over his head ? Change that please. Poor young Erod has to wear 3 extra runs for that one. And as for sample size what is the sample size needed to determine if someone can play the outfield ( W.castro/Clemens) or infield ( Lugo) ? And does our evaluators know what it is ?
