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
-
They may actually have a similar amount of injuries to starters to the Tigers... But at least they have a winning record lol
-
More Wenceel Perez action...
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
All we are missing are locusts at this point lol
-
Bad news, AJ said that they'd still be playing the games after this lol
-
It was very predictable.... lol
-
That may be where Cisnero fits in when he gets back, because the trajectory that Fulmer is on at the moment is ominous.... not just the general wildness of Soto, but wildness plus lack of velocity.
-
Who knows, maybe Pineda has more brittle bones than an average human.... but yeah, that was fluky as hell.
-
I can see the argument from a service time manipulation perspective, given that this season looks like a lost cause at this point, but really, he needs to get more work with ML pitching. That won't happen in Toledo
-
TORK!
-
And people are worried about him opting out lol
-
Leadoff double by Tork as well.... it was a good swing!
-
lol. In all seriousness, I've had some gripes with his managing this year, but in terms of handling the clubhouse, I wouldn't put money against him keeping it all together through the lowest of lows. He knows how to handle players as well as any manager in my time watching this team.
-
As much as the injury problems center on the pitching, it's really the hitting that frustrates me more. Even right now, a 4-0 deficit shouldn't seem insurmountable, even against the Rays.... but these guys just can't hit enough.
-
The big thing is that he cannot project relentless negativity, and he doesn't... that's to his credit.
-
Except on that pitch to Paredes lol
-
Rony has looked decent, honestly...
-
And trading for Montas? You're probably going to have to (at least) give up one of your other starters (ie. Manning) in order to get him. Makes no sense at all.
-
If they catch some breaks down the road, they may be able to make another push toward .500 similar to last year, but playoffs aren't happening with this team.

Bye

Good job Rony!
