I think Canha is one of their best hitters. Grounding into double plays does not make someone a bad hitter. Cabrera used to hit into a bunch of double plays every year. Canha's weakness is that he contributes nothing defensively.

Canha has been one of their best offensive players so far. McKinstry has contributed nothing. Not hitting into a double play? Is the bar that low now?

I agree that analysts talk too much. I'd be happy to see Benetti go solo.

The reason is because she was not funny!

He seems to be a show off, but he's just 19. I haven't heard anything that makes me think there will be a poblem with attitude or work ethic.

Yup, I have long felt that fielding was underrated, especially in a park with a big outfield.

I believe Benetti had something else scheduled. We will see Dickerson on TV a number of times throughout the year.

It sounds like today was a good day to boycott extra innings!

I still don't watch extra inning games because it's not real baseball. It's not a protest. I'm just not interested in watching that. Maybe if they are in a pennant race some day, I'll force myself to watch that fraud. Anyway, one game this season, I was working with the game in the background and I lost track of the inning. All of the sudden there was a man on second base and I got pissed at the pitcher. It think it was Lange. Not sure.

Bob Horner would be a decent outcome for Torkelson. I'll take a 127 career OPS. Sluggers are usually streaky, but all their production counts the same in the end.

That's what I saw too. They are usually up to date, but not as good as they used to be.

Justin Verlander gives a great answer to the pitcher injury question here:

Even Cliff Floyd likes it.

As someone who grew up with a Greek Orthodox father and Catholic mother, I always got the impression that Orthodox was the #1 Christian religion. The Catholics were not quite as solid, but a close second. The Protestants were a distant third, They tried hard, but their religion was too shallow. 😄

I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure I would do better if it was 40 years back!

I am not expecting SS cuts for me, but I am also not counting on getting full SS. I still say it's a fabricated crisis easily and logically fixed by dropping the cap.

And even if you can handle it, if you are obtaining it illegally, you face the danger of unwittingly acquiring a lethal dose of Fentanyl.

So, Joey Wince will play the role of the reliever who people keep telling me is good even though he isn't. Or maybe he'll figure it out as a reliever?

I would guess, the decision was made largely on what they've seen from him in the past in real MLB games.

He got a ****load of doubles. You can't flip your bat for a double though.

It's easier to teach someone how to act that to react! The problem with pitchers is once you getting them working, they break!

Another reason why it makes sense for the Tigers to focus on pitching in a pitching friendly park is that their management and staff appear to be able to get the most out of pitcing talent. This has not yet been demonstrated with their hitters, at least not at the MLB level.

If he's still in their rotation by August, thst would be a big story. Either that or the Rays totally fail this year.

Tyler Alexander starting for a projected playoff team is actually pretty interesting. Of course, starting for the Rays is not always the same as starting for a normal team.

It should be true, but it isn't. Also, a lot of people take it illegally for pain if they can get it. Also, not a good idea.
