Holy shit, Candy is Baddoo bad at the plate so far. AJ needs to put Tork in the 3 hole until Baez comes back...Candy is awful.

They just said on the broadcast that it was due to "right shoulder discomfort". Lovely, I guess it's better than the dreaded forearm tightness.

Next thing you know Tork will be on the 10 day with the dreaded De'andre Levy dick fish.

Soooo, any FA pitchers available to fill the roster?  Mize has snake-bit written all over him, and now Manning?! 

It's very nice of Candy to creep the door open for Kriedler to come up for a shot at 3rd base this season.

That didn’t age well 😀

Well tbf, he was throwin some meatballs to the first two hitters.

Last year's team loses 1-0, this year's fully Torked team shovels me some crow in my craw and wins 2-1!

Dayuuum!

Who's worse so far, Candy or Baddoo? Effing yikes...too many black hole bats still in this lineup.

The fan who caught Tork's home run will be having surgery on his broken hand tomorrow. 

Turns out it was Baez!

F*cking Jooooeee dealin!

I don't think they should wait that long, actually.   When they call up Pineda they should keep Dazzer and let Baddoo fiture it out.   I still like the kid, but he seems overmatched right now.  

Well yeah, I was more thinking along the time frame of Green getting back after he heals up and rehabs in Toledo...but if Baddoo is still struggling after 40 games, it may be time to let someone else have a go at it.

Barnhart is lucky there aren't robot strike zone umps yet...because his bat is pretty much worthless.

Baddoo better figure his shit out by all star break or Green's gonne send his ass packin back to tony packos

Fully Torked!

I think this offense just might suck again gais.

The baseball gods must be PO'd with the Tigers big time. When Carlos Santana is making defensive plays against you, you are truly cursed.

And a 1-0 loss would be apropo re the baseball gods...due for one of those I reckon.

Offense in 2021 season form.

Defense in 2021 all season form..but what a play by Candy!

If Skubal ends up looking like an ace this year and Mize ends up disappointing (either thru injury, performance, or both), is that a win for the Tigers?   What is the expected hit rate on top pitching prospects?  If we get 1 front end guy, 1 average starter, and 1 fringe starter/long reliever out of the trio of Mize, Skubal, and Manning, is that okay?  

Imo, getting one ace out and a solid starter out of the three would be good.  Of course if all three turned out great, well, that'd be great. But, historically, that's not how it usually goes. Kind of reminds me of the early Verlander, Bonderman, and Robertson years...alll three came on strong and were pretty hyped intially, but ultimately, Justin was really the only one that panned out.

so Báez hurt his thumb on opening day when he was trying to keep Gatorade from getting dumped on him? yeesh.

Sounds Lion-esque.

My way too early in the season hot take is that Skuval and Manning both look better than Mize just by watching them in comparison.

Greinke looks very hittable tonite.

Lol, how in the hell does Miggy score there, that was awesome.
