Scenario A is maybe next weekend against Texas, Scenario B is probably next homestand after that

I hear Joe Maddon's got some free time now 😄

Paladino is massive POS... but he has the R next to his name, and that is all that matters in that district

The Tigers Pitching staff, aka Fetter's 14 disciples lol

I was taught that Jesus was the King of Kings, and was also really good at attacking offspeed pitches.

To quote RaceDog.... Baseball?

I'm watching yesterday's game now and just finished his second K (with Meadows on second base).... obviously the swing and miss on the slider out of the zone wasn't great, but in the proceeding couple of pitches he fouled off a couple of pretty hittable fastballs in the zone, including one that was basically center cut. I'm not sure the chase out of the zone is all that much different than the rest of his career, but he's not connecting on a lot of hittable pitches as well. That may be a lot of his problem as well.... it's not just getting pitchers into the zone, it's that he's not doing much damage even when they are in the zone.

So, today is the first day of All Star Voting.... I can't vote for any Tigers because the only deserving folks are in the pitching staff (ie. Skubal, Lange, maybe Vest)

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but he also hit a missile for a double last night to drive in a run.... nearly left the yard. He's gonna have his ups and downs, but he's better than the alternatives and it doesn't seem like his confidence is hurt or anything, so no issue with him learning in the bigs

It's a small sample size, but in the grand scheme of things, Daz has actually been better than most of the Tigers at the plate since his call up and has made some pretty dynamic plays defensively (though his play in center today was not ideal).... they should find a way to keep him here.

They probably should find a way to keep Daz up here...

Didn't Clayton Kershaw famously manage to avoid TJ as well?

Baddoo is gonna be in Toledo for a little while, one imagines.

As much as Willi has done a few nice things with the bat in the past couple of games, I'm not sure how you can justify keeping him over Cameron if he's only playing outfield... they'll have to at least start using him as an infielder again.

Don't want to jinx it, but the SS Soto seems stabilized... Tigers win!

This is right, although I am surprised there wasn't an error on the throw at least, which allowed Barnhart to advance.

Exactly 💯 Hold him to a single, get the next guy out.

They gave Barnhart the double and RBI there?

Wow, and their shitty baserunning gets bailed out by Pittsburgh defense

Unbelievable

Great baserunning too... they get a do-over for last inning lol

Giving Skubal the handshake probably the right move there, given how long this day has been and how he was jerked around with whether he was going to start or not
