Paddack is going from rotation removal to DFA pretty quick.

This is basically extended spring training. They're trying to find a few answers with starting pitching....thus far, everyone aside from Skubal and Flaherty(every other start) has been unplayable.

They have no move to announce for Bailey Horn yet.

Chase Lee optioned for SGL; Bailey Horn has a locker..optioned for Sommers?

We need to watch other teams. The tigers are about as flawed as every other good team. They need to keep their stars healthy and hope they get some luck.

Every team in the AL has a flaw...there are no great teams in either league right now. The goal of the next month is to tick off the milestones(winning the division, clinch a bye or #1 seed, get healthy). After Skubal pitching game 1, I have no idea on which starting pitcher perform well. They probably need a true LOOGY to get lefties out as well. Other than, the offense and back of the bullpen will be fine. I have no guess on how this will turn out.

Mize hasn't been good recently either. But I'm taking Paddack out and trying Montero or SGL.

Paddack doesn't miss bats..he gives up high EV in his 'good' starts..it's basically all luck if the ball doesn't drop.

Tigers appear to have a starting pitching crisis lol.

It's been 11 years...they will close out the division by Sept 20th so it's a nice accomplishment.

They need a starting pitcher to shove...after Paddack.

It's hot in Sacramento but give me one day game for my sleep schedule. They need Meadows back to stabilize the defense and energy. They can carry his bat even if it's still bad. I think some of the hitting chaos guys are probably running on fumes.

He just doesn't have the vintage command and stuff today.

Another game where they go down in order the first 3 innings.

Every game is 0-0 through 3 innings. Can we score a few runs early at least?

Your last sentence is the problem. They have a bullpen game today and half their existing pen is unplayable.

unrelated, the Twins are not being sold. The Pohlad family could not find a buyer to meet their price.

Melton is the opener today.

Seattle and Milwaukee are rolling right now..everyone other good team is mid. Aside from the Rockies, the bad teams aren't terrible. It creates frustration among a lot of contending fanbases. We are like the Cubs, Guards, Astros, Dodgers, Padres, etc.

Strikeouts and walks IMO...we K too much and don't walk. Our pitching doesn't miss bats.

Paddack and Flaherty Russian roulette to start the series....then a bullpen game or call up on Wednesday. I'll happily take two games and run.
