yeah - if there is a single identifiable point of issue with Hinch's managing, it seems to be managing his roster as though he had players he doesn't. Maybe we can blame Willi Castro in the OF purely on AA, but I doubt it. and Harold Castro's May OPS is under 600.

rational wouldn't be the right word, but even when people are smashed they still have a certain level of animal awareness, and I would think especially wrt cops. I've more than once dealt with people who could barely stand-up but were determined to keep trying to do something they were incapable of doing because they had some fear in their head about the need to do it. It's exactly the same thing as when you can't get a drunk's car keys from him - he's determined he "has" to get to somewhere for some reason. Drunkeness in many people creates a paradoxical mix of high motivation and low capacity - probably why it also leads to so much senseless violence. His impairment was not so high he that he crashed his car or was unable to master his cell phone to make calls.

It does add some potential sense to it though. He's got a dead car on the freeway and he's drunk on his rear. He can't stay with the car because odds are a cop gets there first and he gets nailed on the DUI - the law, the NFL all down on his asz. So he sees his best chance as either getting back to the car with fuel himself or having the cops get there when he's not there, in which case he just stays 'lost' until he's sober. He's probably got just enough wits to realize his legal risk of staying with the car but not enough to function once he takes the decision to leave it.

actually a top defensive SS who averages 1/4 with a little power is generally worth quite a bit - about $170M in today's market.

As the voters seem to be oblivious to the shit-show the GOP has become, It's only been GOP incompetence which is keeping the Republic halfway safe.

He was 2/5 with a double tonight BTW.

the denouement to this story. No surprise, sadly: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33971836/dwayne-haskins-was-legally-drunk-death-according-toxicology-report

Since there is no intention of stretching out Peralta, Rodriguez isn't even the #5 starter, more like #4. Manning on the schedule for tomorrow with the Hens, best case scenario Rodriguez and Wentz each still get one more start, though they do have two off days week after next which should help.

Grossman's May OBP is 260. Willi has a swinging bunt and a walk for his last 18, Clemens is raking in Toledo. Which of these things doesn't go together?

right. Figured ERod was going to get beat up, disappointing that they got him off the hook and then fell short anyway.

All they got ain't enough.

I still like the IBB here. Force at home is a lot easier than a tag. And javy doesn't let Willi near that fly ball. No reason for your surprise at all Craig.

This BP. Very unTigerish.

Annnnd Haase strikes again.

Gonzalez was calling a couple of inches low a strike consistently for both sides early in the game. Suddenly it's a ball. That's what has to drive players crazy.

Correa made that play close when there was no way it should have been.

sure would have been nice to have Tork in the 6 spot there.

Grossman just taking everything hoping for walks. Crazy that he is still leading off, but that's what we got.

Edwin has 4 straight shut out innings. Only 15 more to catch Skubal.

Tork and Schoop definitely looking better, but we need more than that. Haase with a sign of life! Within one.

Harold missed beating the shift by a few milliseconds.

Harold bails out Willi. The Castri giveth, the Castri taketh away.

And Willi with two wrong moves ONE PLAY! If there were such a thing as real scoring in today's game, Willi's fielding percentage would be about 60%

Gameday is goofy. They just described that lazy fly ball to Cameron as 'flies out sharply'

It was a 'Blood' moon but it was cloudy in SE MI and we didn't see. The world actually ended that night and everything that has happened to the Tigers since then are just our dying dream memories. Don't wake up.
