Great. Maybe we can get 3 middling prospects that will never play in the majors instead of 2.

Game over. This pathetic offense couldn't score if they had 10 outs an inning

Malloy looks like he was carrying a piano with him.

I think they should let Urshela play 3rd every night. The dude has a glove.

Guarantee Javy doesn't do that.

What? If you get to the majors and you are making that mistake, I don't really know what to say.

I think Hoyt Wilhelm is probably better than a few of them.

Growing up in the 90s, I had absolutely zero interest in following the Tigers and I played baseball constantly. The team was typically the worst or at the bottom of the league every year. Why would I want to waste my time watching a garbage product?

I'm hoping for a pitcher who dominated in college but has below average velocity. Let's get him....

That's why I said the pitchers control, velocity, and movement has a huge effect. And the pitcher does have a lot of control over what type of contact is made on his pitches. Sometimes weak hit balls find an open spot, but if you throw it right down the middle with zero movement, you end up like Phil Coke.

Hits to a certain extent, but a pitchers control, velocity, and movement play a huge part in giving up hits.

I think whip is a much better stat to evaluate a pitcher.

Thanks for adding your input to the stupidity.

If a reliever has a bad outing and gives up 4 runs, it takes him 10 or 11 more outings to get his era respectable.

I want them to keep him as long as they can. You normally don't get better trading a candidate for CY Young to get a bunch of prospects. I would like to see the Tigers fire Hinch, actually try to put a competent team on the field, and keep their best players. The last year the Tigers were competitive was 2016. It seriously should not take 3 presidential cycles for a team to stop sucking in modern baseball. This ownership is unable or unwilling to put a decent product on the field, so I don't see any other option than for the Tigers to trade Skubal, probably at the all star break next season. They are really trying hard to get normal people to not care about the team.

Are you talking about Casey Mize? No one will trade anything of value for him. It doesn't matter where he was drafted. The guy doesn't have a swing and miss pitch. His ceiling was last game where he had a bunch of weak contact. He is going to get hammered tonight by a poor Nationals team.

Mize is just a bottom of the rotation guy. He's a dime a dozen. He doesn't have a swing and miss pitch...average to below average stuff.

Should be a pitchers duel. Haha.

I just have this feeling that Flaherty is gone by the all star break and Skubal is a Yankee or Dodger at next year's trade deadline. I think Harris believes this group of players, led by Mize and Torkelson, have proven to be busts and it's another lost 3 or 4 years. Skubal will be gone.

Exactly. You don't badmouth others because that cuts down on future employment opportunities after you get fired.

Methinks his management skill had more to do with garbage cans than anything else.

Colt Keith got his hit for the week. Well done, son.

Here's to Riley Greene getting better so this organization can trade him in a few years at the trade deadline.

It'll cut payroll even if it isn't that much. I think that is important to ilitch because a million saved is a million earned.

He also isn't going to throw Bumbling Al Avila under the bus because that is really saying Ilitch sucks as an owner.
