Daniel had a 5.33 ERA in 14 starts with Triple-A Salt Lake before Thursday's game against the Tigers. "The thing he did is just attack the strike zone," Hinch said. "He beat us inside the strike zone with a lot of strikes, a lot of count leverage and a lot of swings that weren't on time. He continued to be relentless with strikes because it was working for him. He was getting outs." "He beat us in the strike zone," Hinch said. "Plain and simple." I did not see the video but he seems like he’s about to lose his marbles lol.

2 hours and five minutes..no need to make fans suffer any longer.

The only thing that matters is their hitting instruction in the majors and the minors. Aside from Greene, we see the same patterns with every young hitter. Wins and losses don’t matter…we need to know if they can fix any of the young hitters. Whatever they are doing now isn’t working.

Yesterday’s lineup was the same…0-20 aside from Vierling…the definition of insanity.

Greene and Vierling have a combined 3 hits in the 6 at bats. The rest of the lineup is 0-16.

Not much...they don't have answers in the majors or the minors. The product is stuck in the mud.

JHM...the guy who is only here because of his hit tool, has a lower OPS than Zach McKinstry.

The Angels pitcher is making his 2024 debut...Tigers offense is good tonic \Leyland.

Matthew Boyd signed with the Guardians.

They swept them last year in LA...which was surprising.

3 games starting after 9:30 pm eastern against a bad opponent....This will be tough for me to watch or follow.

This is one of those games where it's good/great team vs below average/bad team. Not much you can do.

Montero gave them 4 innings and didn't completely implode. The offense has had 4 baserunners in 7 innings.

I don't mind it...why waste a good bullet when you can use them against Anaheim?

It's shocking...he would be fine if he was just average.

Like we said, Avila's entire process broke down once the draft pick was done. Smith's process broke down when we executed the draft pick.

One thing on Avila...baseball conventional wisdow has improved. Nobody is taking a reliever 1-1 anymore. Basic valuations on draft slot and positions are settled law. He didn't know how to build a team beyond losing and tanking seasons. But it's hard to screw up as royally as Randy Smith did.

Holton is the opener..with Montero as the backstop?

This is from 'Have a Seat' with the POBO:

Keider Montero is up….probably to start tomorrow.

In 2012, they had the seventh ranked payroll, in 2013 and 2014 it was fifth. They were able to spend to correct roster holes and fix mistakes. That's not happening anytime soon...so they will have to build a team with much better player development and contract discipline.
