I respect your perspective on this but I believe the issue isn’t as much about patience as it is about competence. There has been ample time and ample opportunity to turn this fiasco around and it hasn’t happened. Until major changes are made I’m not expecting a different outcome.

I’ve seen several comments here and elsewhere that weigh the possibility of Hinch moving into the GM position here if Avila vacates the position. I’m on record as opposing anything like that. I agree with any and everybody that contends we need to go outside this organization. I don’t believe Hinch has the experience or background to sit in the GM’s position. Frankly, I doubt he’d want the job anyway.

I’ll bet Hinch, like every other Tiger fan, is hoping Avila gets the ax soon enough.

In the for what it’s worth column… Matt Boyd can likely be had next year on a minor league deal with an invite.

Looking good at 4-0.

This is the kind of game Illitch needs to sit his ass through.

All Star closer….

Manning has pitched extremely well today. I would have been happy with six innings and 80+ pitches in that he is just back in the rotation and getting back up to par. I’m just wanting to see these guys stay healthy first and foremost.

That’s enough for Manning. Excellent outing but call it day and go to the pen.

I am inclined to agree with this.

“Yellow hammer city baby!”

Leyland is on it. Glad he’s in the booth.

This is the gist of it. Illitch and the baseball establishment pretty much sent him to baseball Siberia.

Not really. It is exactly what happened.

At least they didn’t wait until he was deceased like they did Sparky.

Very interesting.

Of all the horseshit and monotonous hype on the MLB website front page, nothing about Whitakers’ number being retired this evening.

Been over. This is as good as it gets.

Are we anywhere close to where somebody gets fired?

Thank you for the kind words, Ron Gardenhire

My only issue with Dickerson is that he never stops talking.

Several comments from other media make note of the fact that Scully, for the most part, called games without a sidekick in the booth. One comment noted there were no “analysts” in the booth back in the day. I have seen other comments noting that Scully was comfortable with not filling the air constantly with conversation and/or talk during a game. Good points.

Breaks my heart to see that we lost Vin Scully yesterday. He was one of the Crown Jewels of baseball for so long. Can’t say enough good things about the man. RIP Vin Scully.

Wow, the Cardinals sent Harrison Bader to the Yankees. He seemed like the Cardinal prototype. They needed pitching more than I realized I guess.

I wish Grossman and Fulmer the best. Fulmer had a pretty good run here considering his injuries. Any player that can get out from under this dumpster fire is better off.
