Why send him there? A lot of early mistakes by the 3rd base coach. This offense can’t afford to give away outs in the base paths. 

Probably hoping for a repeat of the Pittsburgh game.

Is Clayton Campbell a prospect?  Don’t know much about him and didn’t realize he was a C.  

He's a C/3B/1B. He is my sleeper prospect for this year, he played well in the FCL last year as well

Toledo PPD
Erie PPD
WM PPD

Lakeland W 13-3 Only 7 innings
Briceno  2/4 2RBI 
Campbell 2/4 RBI HR 2B

Doubt it gets played but this is the free game of the day for MiLB:

And honestly, two games in one day feels like too much. It's not because I don't have six hours I can devote to it, but rather, there are other things I like to do with my day as well.

Especially a weekend day, I am happy when it is a work day that I can have it on in the background while I work and then get some extra baseball after I clock out. 

I mean it's good that the bullpen gets two off days but 2 days of no baseball in no bueno.

reminds me the of Trevor Story something about diving players makes me nervous

Colt Keith was injured the same way when he was with the White Caps 

I finally realized who Briceno's batting stance reminds me it's Carlos Guillen.

Manning with a nice pickoff move here, unfortunate for Quero though 😬

 

 

Not Tiger-related but this is rough to happen in the first game of the season. 

I think I brought this up previously but the glut of MIF on the WM roster makes me believe that we will see one of them promoted quicker than normal. Gold, Anderson, Pacheco, Serretti, Graham are all there for essentially 3 spots while Gold and Anderson are probably 2B (though they are trying Gold at 3rd) only they may be blocked by Hao-Yu Lee but there was something in one of the papers about having him spend some time at 3B as he did it in the AFL. Even though Pacheco has done it in the past, Serretti and Graham are probably the only ones who could play SS out of that bunch. I think either Gold or Anderson will get pushed up to AA soon or Serretti but I am guessing they are keeping him around to spell Graham at SS. If I were a betting man based on last season's performance and this season so far (the whole 3 games 😅) Anderson gets pushed up to AA.

So, this is interesting: take a look at his Savant this year versus last year. He's basically Bizarro TORK! so far.

Look at the fielding; All Glove 1B Tork

Defense and Bednar are really the only reasons they won that game. Keith has been solid at 2nd.

over 1100 plate apperances and this is his third season at what point is he what he is?

I mean he's 24 and showed much better performance in the second half of last year with more than .800 OPS so I don't think he is a finished product quite yet personally.

We're 10 games into the season.  Lets not get carried away.  He struggled early last year too.  

Completely agree, he has cold and hot spells. He has had some terrible luck on hard-hit balls as well. Those will drop in soon enough. 

Parker just missed that one 

I wonder if Eddys Leonard would have gotten the call if he hadn't gotten hurt yesterday.
