If you count his time in Salt Lake, Brendon Davis would be two fwiw Point still is well taken though

I'm OK with this, even though Greene would have been the sexier pick.

Would not be shocked to see him beat everyone's expectations, yet fall to 0-6 because the offense can't score runs against someone like Gausman. He's like a glorified Mike Maroth lol

Bear in mind a clean sweep means getting rid of AJ and Chris Fetter. And a whole bunch of guys they hired from other (more successful) orgs in the offseason to revamp their minor league development team. (ie. Ryan Garko, Gabe Ribas, etc.) It's painful, and I'm certainly on board with canning Al, but they've also made a lot of changes within the areas you are complaining about within the past 12 months. And I don't think firing Ryan Garko or Gabe Ribas after just hiring them away from the Angels and Dodgers is a smart idea at all.

Beau Brieske must feel cursed drawing this matchup.

At least it will be a bat... this team has availed itself of 14 pitchers longer than it probably has needed to.

First win as a pro... (yes, I know W-L don't matter anymore lol)

What blows my mind is that they havent been shutout the most in the league - the Royals have. (IIRC) The lack of home run ball really hurts... if you're in a situation where you need 8+ hits in a game to score 4 runs on a given night, you aren't gonna score a lot of runs and win many games in this league.

Obvious move. They need to go bold and bring up Reyes or Greene

Happier times 45 mins down I-75

Greene needs to be here tomorrow. Enough already. EDIT: although they will call up Reyes

Quite a slumpbuster for Berrios tonight...

Paredes is doing well? Or does he look less bad than the Tigers?

How many wins would having Isaac Paredes (over Austin Meadows) have given the Tigers this year? Bear in mind that he probably wouldn't have been called up until Candelario's injury? They would still be ****ed, if not worse.

Imagine what he'd be doing in this org. I'd rather have Meadows, and it's not particularly close.

Good for him

They really haven't at all. And they have had two off days this week. The bullpen isn't overworked right now. I get trying to get Elvin through this start w/o a bullpen game, but the beatwriters writing stories about how Rony would be the first guy to lose his spot kinda pisses me off and insults my intelligence given how the other option was caught tipping his pitches and giving up 10 runs last start

They havent had a bullpen day since Elvin's last start. And haven't had many all season.

Jomboy caught Elvin tipping his pitches and put it out there for everyone to see. And then they send him back out there a week later. Just have a damn bullpen day FFS

I honestly am dumbfounded that the Tigers beat writers kept talking about how Rony Garcia was the guy who was gonna lose his spot when Eduardo came back. Really? Jesus

So, when ERod comes back, ElRod needs to go down. Not Rony, ElRod

Totally agree But also, as someone who watches this thing day in and day out, we need to understand that Mize being gone for 12-18 months, while unfortunate, is not the backbreaker that losing Riley Greene or Spencer Torkelson for that length would be.

I hate to give him advice, but he needs to do a little more to promote them.

Beat my expectations, tbh.

I forgot about ERod. The news sucks, but it isn't the end of the world.
