Think maybe Schoop was waiting for that breaking ball?

Craig with the penetrating analysis: "Fast balls up and breaking balls down." Who'da thunk? 🙄

Doesn't really matter how you cut it does it? This line-up sucks.

Archer on a pitch budget because of the injury history? 4 IP has been his limit this season.

no 'flakes' zone?

5 guys in the line-up hitting 211 or less. We exceed the 'two black hole' limit by 3.

Missed concussion diagnosis? Not supposed to happen anymore but as per our new Tiger motto: stercore accidit

I'll give credit where credit is due. Willi Castro appears to be one of the only Tigers that knows the right way to turn when a pitch is bearing in on him.

I'd love to see an expanded crease. All the scrumming in front of the net is not my favorite part of hockey anyway.

Kane did PBP for the Pistons when Blaha was out didn't he?

half dozen of one, 6 of the other. Maybe just to keep him on his rotation day after the rain out and hopefully not because Brieske is heading to the IL!

Willi on a 1/16 and OPSing 585 against RHP, which is what Archer is, is a terrible fielder and terrible base runner. I don't know what (else) Hinch did he is so ashamed of but Willi clearly has the pics. 👿

Pretty much this.

Between the ascension of Romanovs (1613) and Gorbachev, only one Russian ruler left office any way but feet first, and that was Krushchev. With Putin having taken Russia back into the same repression/corruption/stagnation status that has pretty much been its tendency for all but 20 years of the last few hundred, I guess we have to assume Putin is there till he dies, at which time he will probably be replaced by someone from the small cohort of similarly aged ex-KGBs that have stayed in his immediate orbit. Much like when the last of Brehznevs the post WWII group passed from the scene, only at that point are we likely to see an opportunity for another Gorbachev style generation shift and an opening for reform. Maybe it will last more than 20 yrs next time.

Heaven forbid they eventually trade a young pitcher for a hitter and the pitcher has a decent career...

The story said they had inserted HW into Kreidlers hand that obviously is staying in for now. I wonder if they will remove it in the off-season or if can be left permanently. Usually bone plates are meant to be left in but you wonder if you wouldn't be too constantly aware of it in your hand.

Archer appears to be on a short leash this season. He hasn't gone more than 4.1 in 7 starts and Minny has lost 4 of them.

He's already been an assistant coach once right? Why would he wan't to be again?

Edm fans may now have the record for most caps on the ice.

make it a Hat trick

Calgary doesn't look like the same team on the road, Edm putting it to them so far 3-0 in the 2nd.

now 1 for his last 16 plus getting picked off.

WM: Madden 5IP 3H 0R 1BB 3K. Keith 1/3 2BB; Perez 2/3, BB, 2SB. Caps win it 8-0
