  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The big thing is that he cannot project relentless negativity, and he doesn't... that's to his credit.
  4. Except on that pitch to Paredes lol
  5. Rony has looked decent, honestly...
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Good job Rony!
  9. Out of opening week, Tarik Skubal is the last man standing. Plus Pineda went down as well. That's, like, five starters down. Unreal.
  10. Well, they better stretch out Wily now.... lol
  11. Doug Teter sighting.... ****
  12. Look at that skillfull hit by Willi Castro.... he practices that all the time in batting practice! lmao
  13. For all the Tigers troubles, they are only 7 games back.... says a lot about the Central lol
  14. Probably... McClanahan is nasty
  15. Wenceel Perez with his 7th homer tonight... gotta think he's close to a call up being justified.
  16. Yep... he's not gonna win this outing, it was a tough draw, but he seems to be getting more swinging strikes than previous outings. Good sign.
  17. Three K's in Three innings seems like an improvement for Brieske...
  18. This is right. I will say that I am encouraged that he's showing this level of productivity while still just coming off TJ. Most of us probably didn't expect to see him in Detroit this quickly at all and that he'd be given more time in Toledo, although injuries have obviously pushed the issue. Gives me some home he can improve from what we have seen.
  19. He also has the 2nd worst BABIP in baseball among qualified batters (behind Abraham Toro for Seattle).... there was a period in April where he was legit bad, but since the LA series or so, it seems like he's not been slumping per se, but just has been unlucky.
  20. That's not to speak of the fact that they have guys like Wentz, Olson and Hill that could all be knocking on the door this time next year. Good problem to have.
