With regard to the pundits, it's worth remembering that 365 days ago, Beau Brieske wasn't ranked. I believe he showed up on Pipeline when they did a midyear rank. It's not even that the pundits got Brieske wrong from the beginning per se, but the lists are only updated a few times per year and a lot of guys can move up or down whenever a rerank is done. Not saying that will happen in Carpenter's case, but rather that the next lists that get published could say a lot about where the pundits fall.

My read is that they want to keep Drew Carlton on the 40 man roster, and transferring Mize does that. The 60 Day time frame, it'll be retroactive.

That was quick...

People maybe going off his debut as well, which wasn't a successful outing. He has good stuff, who knows, maybe we see him flash it tonight. The bigger concern I have with him is that his outings are usually pretty short.

Roboumps, like, yesterday

Yep, Rony's gotta wear this one

IIRC, Lynn was pounding the drum on keeping Greene in Toledo while he was raking in Spring Training as well....

It's gotten to the point where literally every base hit of all varieties is a "buggy whip" now too.... he used to be a little more judicious with that cliche.

Kerry Carpenter with, you guessed it, another homer this morning! lol

Jim used to annoy me when I was younger, but he's grown on me some.... the rapport that him and Dan have is pretty good.

Beautiful

Their worst starter went today and gave up 4 runs in close to 6 innings, and they are gonna get Alexander back in a week or so. Pineda back in 4 weeks or so. I guess I can see it with a minor league contract and no expectations, but as far as need, they dont need Dallas Keuchel

The game on Saturday was such a stinker, it kinda feels out of place with how they have generally played in the last week or two. They seem like they are playing cleaner better baseball, hopefully it carries forward.

Nice win for the Tigers today... kinda demonstrating what they can do if they can just score more runs lol

They gave Miranda an error for that? Urshela shouldn't have even thrown that ball

Less Willi in LF please

Most runs in a game since the 6-0 win against Oakland on May 10

OMG. Bert hasn't gotten his six runs in sooo long!

Hilarious that Dan was talking about how Tork keeps beating that shift as TORK! does it again. Haha

Let's go ahead and not DFA Schoop lol

Solid outing, Joe.... looking born again hard out there!

Boy, Daz almost had that one

That's a downer... still feels like Brieske's most complete start as a big leaguer, even with the homers

Brieske needs more swing and miss, but that may come with more seasoning. He's holding his own out there
