Let's hope Torkelson can't find another way to be out on the bases here... EDIT: I'm hoping against hope there is no contact play out here....

Holton's FB is down about 1 mph and his change is up about 1 mph. So that's some loss of deltaV that doesn't help.

ESCAPE!

D.o.n.o.t..l.e.t..d.o.w.n

Yeah - AJ keeping everyone but Hurter's outings short so he doesn't burn anyone for tomorrow, but that's also always more chances for a misfire.

Maybe no good time available. The guys in booth said AJ did not want to start with one against CLE so we got it today.

really surprised AJ let Malloy hit there. I guess because of the prior walk he was hoping for another. Even though Torrez is a RHB it would have been a good spot IMO.

Hanifee peripherals seem to look better than his results....

Nate Burleson is a good sports name. Alec Burleson just doesn't have a good ring to it.

bah! There was no-one at 1st to get Dingler, he could have walked back - Tork could have stayed put.

IOW, standard ops.

there is one of those hand's leading check swing call that might be different under the proposed system

literally - nobody. Just two misc folks on a sponsored Tiger Travel Tour talking up how good the tour guides were, how they loved the accommodations, tour events, and meeting the announcers. ie, Shilling for the tour.

Malloy keeps adding punches to his ticket back to AAA on Vierling's arrival.

no-one you ever want to see again, or wanted to see in the first place.

Shilling for tours on the broadcast now.

Lee makes two good pitches then completely loses the plate. 🤷‍♂️

As Peaches notes, great to see Torkelson going middle/RF twice after an 0/4 day. Call it a sign of a maturing hitter.

Won't be surprised if Scott leaves the game before it's over. That's bad place to get hit.

The whole episode only cost one pitch.

One of Javy's worst AB in a while there.

I remember a few years ago the Tigers came out of ST with a bunch of steals, them proceeded to get thrown out a bunch of times once the season started and pretty much stopped running altogether. The were doing a nice job on the bases last season but definitely seem to be pushing a notch too hard this season. The trick will be to cut back without shutting it down.

We didn't quite get Scherzer just for Jackson. Scherzer's cost was Jackson and Ian Kennedy, and the payoff for Kennedy was Curtis Granderson less the return of Austin Jackson. Scherzer was still the prize of the deal, though Granderson was understood to be the biggest piece at the time. EDIT: LOL, slow on the draw here!

The team that gets him won't have to take it all on though. Canucks are just stuck. Maybe the coaching change can work but otherwise he's useless on that team unless they bring in 19 other new players and any potential trade partner knows they are over a barrel and will drive a hard bargain on how much salary they will risk taking on. Someone will take a flier and either end up very happy or just as screwed as Vancouver. Wings, with 6 Swedes on the roster, would probably his best landing place, with the big cap jump they'll have room to be interested, but I doubt they will be.
