Baez has barrelled two pitches...one at 75.6 MPH and one at 78.9.

8 whiffs on 22 swings..36%

Barnhart has a .506 OPS two months in...jesus.

Not watching...thought the guy actually hit the ball. Another defensive brainfart. That's on Hinch.

C'mon man... a guy is 0-19 this does that.

Leadoff man on second...and nothing.

Time for 80 year old Jose Quintana to pitch a shutout.

He should be here Friday:

game will start at 9:10 eastern.

Hackosky said the Tigers thought the game would be stopped in the 3rd...that's why they pulled Skubal. Instead, they didn't start the game on time so Skubal could have just waited it out.

Casey Mize feeling discomfort in elbow after throwing at 90 feet. #jamesandrews he is shut down. manning is getting a cortisone shot…cleared to resume throwing. cisnero rehabbing in toledo erod will get a rehab start intoledo on Thursday

Like I said, Willi is going to play awhile longer.

Skubesday folks.

We need to see who will be on this team in 2024 when they could be halfway decent.

Every reliever should be on the block if the Tigers can get a decent prospect. They need as many lottery tickets as possible.

Seager has a w/RC+ of 149 Story is at 121 Both guys are slugging over .450. Baez would be fine if he was making more hard contact. Maybe today is a good first step....although the Yankees starter couldn't attack him with a slider.

We will know more on Tuesday....I'd expect multiple roster changes before the Pittsburgh series starts. It's time to start cutting the dead weight.

The Yankees are excellent. The tigers offense and defense has been bad enough this season for me to believe that they won’t put anything together beyond a few good weeks.

This season is lost IMO…but even if I buy that some reversion to mean is coming, you are relying on guys like Candy, schoop, grossman, and maybe meadows. They don’t have a viable long term catcher. It would unreasonable to expect them to buy 3 legit core players in free agency…and the farm system isn’t necessarily equipped to make value trades for position players. I don’t see how this is built into a consistent contender anytime soon.

Bringing up the starting outfield is a step up to a below average team vs being completely awful. But this was a 77 win team if everything went right. The rebuild isn’t over, it’s just beginning.

Candelario leaves the game with an injury.

Hinch is trying to get through 3 days at a time with the injuries and lack of performance. They can't possibly think that Willi will hit over the season. They're just trying to find a few weeks of decent contact. This is survival instinct.

I would guess we are nearing the end of the Eric Haase era....below .500 OPS guys who have no defensive value should be gone ASAP.

The Willi Castro thing is a micro issue that stems from gigantic macro problems within the organization. Trust me, they wouldn't play him this much or out of position if they didn't have to.
