  1. Javy hasn't even been the worst of the SS class, as bad as he's been offensively.... that belongs to Marcus Semien, who has looked even more lost at the plate as a member of the Texas Rangers
  2. More on Brendon Davis, who the Tigers claimed today from the Angels: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/angels-brendon-davis-resurrects-career-with-new-organization/
  3. No injury listed.... wonder what that's all about?
  4. To paraphrase the late Denny Green, "Javy Baez is who we thought he was".... Maybe this particular cold streak is longer than usual for him, but the team knew what they were getting when he signed.... and really, the strikeouts aren't so much the problem at this point (he's below his career averages) - it's that he's not making good contact and rolling over. Gotta think that will be fixed over time.
  5. There's a red moon rising... on the Cuyahoga River.... Rolling into Cleveland to the lake...
  6. That could make it easy as a fan to decide whether this thing is worth watching for the remaining 8 innings lol
  7. They have a spot for him, they just occupied it with Daz Cameron
  8. League average team, granted in a league where it can be tough for hitters...
  9. Not sure what more he needs to do to earn a callup.
  10. I would say this is comforting, but we also have a guy on the IL with vertigo, so....
  11. Notably, Drew Hutchison is getting the start for the Mud Hens in Game 2 today.... apparently he resigned on a minor league deal? EDIT: Signed this morning and getting the start per milb.com
  12. I'm wondering how TF they are planning on stitching together a rotation for at least the next month under these circumstances.... Skubal and Faedo seem solid enough at the moment, but Brieske and Wentz both probably still need time in Toledo to figure things out and the two long men they have on the roster (Wily/Rony) aren't stretched out enough to go 5 at the moment. And that's all assuming that none of them get hurt in the short term. What an absolute mess.
  13. I don't know, tbh, but the questions seem valid at this point.... At this point, I don't know how they don't ramp up Wily Peralta.... G2 is right (per usual), they should have done it weeks ago.
  14. Smooth sailing from here lol. In all seriousness, I'm not surprised they went after him given all the outfield injuries lol
  15. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/05/18/best-defensive-second-baseman-baseball-numbers-say-its-tigers-jonathan-schoop/9822034002/
  16. Despite all the injuries, the bigger problem with the 2022 Tigers is the position players and their production at the plate. If I'm making a trade at this point, its for a bat, not a pitcher
  17. They may actually have a similar amount of injuries to starters to the Tigers... But at least they have a winning record lol
  18. More Wenceel Perez action...
  19. At least on the 40... but as bad as things are, I dont see them being desperate enough to go get a AAAA guy (ie. Chase Anderson, Nivaldo Rodriguez) or throwing a Garrett Hill or Reese Olson into this mess.
  20. I'm not sure they have much of a choice at this point, unless they plan on calling up another starter... Worth noting as well that Toledo was rained out, so Manning is likely not coming back until at least Tuesday next week. They'll need to find a way to cover Monday, whether from the Toledo set or from Wily or Rony or both.
  21. Wonder how they handle this from a roster perspective.... can't bring Wentz up until 15 days after being sent down, yet probably not great to have Eddie on the active roster if you know he need an IL stint. Despite the pitching depth issues, a good argument to be had to bring up a position player until Wentz (or whoever) would need to start based on their offensive production.
  22. All we are missing are locusts at this point lol
  23. Bad news, AJ said that they'd still be playing the games after this lol
