Pedro Garcia in Lakeland is off to a rough start...

You will be waiting a while to see how Mattison develops. He just got the Tommy John.

If you are interested in Mattison, you will be waiting a while.

I........ don't know that I particularly care what Bless You Boys says about a prospect. I wouldn't put much, if any, stock in anything from them, unless they have scoops on injuries or something.

Why are these gag order hearings so far down the road. It's happening now and needs to stop now.

I agree.

Just bumping because... https://theathletic.com/5421587/2024/04/17/trevor-bauer-accuser-fraud-charge/

I pulled up the all-time leaders in GIDP last night and the list was astoundingly amazing.

Carlos is very good.

This has been a big gripe this year... Even Saturday with Dickerson where they spent a couple innings on Gibby's charity (which does not have good watchdog scores, by the way)

The Tigers' bats really weren't supposed to be good. Projection systems that project that tend to be mocked and dismissed by rose colored glasses wearing fanbases. That doesn't necessarily mean blame should fall at the front office. This is a "see what you've got" type year, and there's plenty of reinforcements in Toledo to sift through and figure this out. The weather in early April is always underappreciated as a factor, both on the Tigers' hitting but also on their pitching. Last night's goose egg was largely sequencing and batted ball luck.

I always used to get the words narcoleptic and narcissistic confused.

Came to camp with elbow issues. I don't remember any injuries last year.

I didn't realize how bad Brendan White has been this year. Transferred to the Development List today, which basically means he gets to go down to Lakeland and work on some things.

Lange has options, and it might be a good time to use them to bring up a fresh arm for the nightcap.

I'm not convinced he's a weak link yet.

Might need Wentz's length tomorrow.

Bombs away in the 8th, though.

Rain in the forecast in Detroit the next two days. Keeping him lined up to start a doubleheader game?

Leonard is too on the 40 man.

Had a good heart to heart with a super MAGA person I always try to avoid talking politics with last night, but he says he's not voting for Trump because of the narcissism.

I'm not writing him off. I'm suggesting that the spin that there wasn't room for him in Toledo isn't true and that he's in Erie for a reason. Mark added that reason could be related to a desire to move him to relief and not wanting to expose him as a starter in Toledo.

Anybody having mlbtv issues?

Bryan Sammons was signed in June and started 13 games for Toledo. Hardly most of last year. He's a placeholder. If they thought Madden was ready for Toledo, he would be there and the placeholder would be in Erie. If Madden was in Toledo you would maneuver around him. I really don't understand the argument here.

I want to reiterate despite some of the brash dismissals to this last week. If there wasn't room in Toledo for Ty Madden, Bryan Sammons wouldn't be in the rotation.
