Why would Avila take responsibility for the major league team? The future is somewhere in the minor leages...you can see it right?

Skubal - left leg contusion. He will be evaluated tomorrow.

Someone will take the fall for the offense. They need a sacrificial lamb for this disaster.

I'm not going to get into a management discussion...but this season is such an easy way for everyone to blame injuries and bad luck overall. I don't expect them to be introspective and look at some of the reasons this team is bad beyond injuries.

Back: Tarik Skubal has the longest scoreless streak by a Tigers starter since 2016. He's at 18 thru four innings tonight in Cleveland.

Baez with weak EV even when he makes contact....brutal.

And they need Harold and Willi in the lineup...which is an indictment on the entire operation.

more homers than Meadows...we are down bad.

This is the second time in a week that a starter has left the game hurt lol...the team is bad but just awful luck.

And he's leaving with the trainer. Wonderful.

Erod doesn't have it today unfortunately.

Can't Field Harold.

Man Baez has been brutal at the plate.

Faedo - 17 CSW on 58 pitches...10 whiffs.

We are still at 0 homeruns combined for Grossman and Meadows. Grossman's homer total last year was a career outlier. Meadows has done most of everything aside from slug.

That was a perfect spot for Tork to drive in a run...and he just couldn't do anything.

Grossman has another multiple strikeout game while complaining to Hackosky about the fences; Baez has hit into two double plays. When Cabrera is your best hitter, etc.

Grossman has a .188 slugging percentage in his last 15 games.

the firing would be performative and correct. I don't want him being in charge of extracting value from this roster at the trade deadline.

Firing Avila is performative. It's also a way for the parking lot king to deflect his role in this disastrous rebuild. They didn't do anything aside from tanking and drafting high. And drafting by nature is not a sure thing. Their player development team was lead by a losing dinosaur who was only removed in late 2021. The owner froze spending and left Avila to his own devices to find efficiencies outside of the draft. Instead, in year 5(or 7), we are relying on the Castro brothers, Eric Haase, and other sub replacement level players to fill out a roster. It's somebody's fault that every hitter is broken. I don't know who to blame specifically. But in year 5(or7), I was hopeful that the major league product would be better. And with their track record of developing and promoting players, do they have much credibility that any of these prospects will succeed over the long term?
