F it, call him up

There isn't enough bourbon in Kentucky to liven this team up...

Good job by Lange to protect that 7-run deficit...

At this point, as long as his confidence doesn't appear to be damaged, I don't see the point in sending him down, especially as they are currently playing like a team who will be lucky to get to 70 wins. And I trust AJ's judgment to know when that point is over the rest of the fanbase, who appears to be labeling him a bust at this point.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET202109020.shtml Would it kill this team to do something like this tonight? At least make it interesting?

I'll take Dallas Braden's word for it.

Nights like tonight are gonna happen in this sport... and Wentz? It was probably too early for him anyway, he wouldn't have been up here if not for Mize/Manning missing time. But it's the fact that I know I can walk away from this stuff and check back in in a few hours and know there's better than 50/50 odds the Tigers will have a goose egg on the scoreboard that bothers me. That blows.

Faedo and Brieske, he isn't

Come on

He's right... and I'm not sure Toledo does much for him.

Incredible

Another rundown lol

Well, that's game, see yall tmrw

Not the best rundown, but we've seen worse lol

At least in the short term, I don't think they're gonna do it because, in essence, it's waving the white flag on the season. It's easy as a fan base to see the writing on the wall but, as bad as their start has been, I take AJ at his word when he talks about getting back into this thing. Now if they spend the next few weeks continuing to suck wind with the bats and fall further behind, I could see it. But I imagine they at least give it the month to figure out if they can get it (and along with it, Tork) turned around.

Ohhhhh, yep, forgot all about him!

Pretty sure you may be referring to James Mason.... (he gets a pass, he's British lol)

One thing that's clear: no real native of Michigan says "Dee-troit"....

LOL

Then there's this...

Willians Astudillo's spicy meatball against the Jerk Sox last year was hilarious

In his defense, he probably could have gone five in that last start against Woostah (only 56 pitches)

If he keeps it up, he'll be heading down 131 and hanging a left on I-90 soon, one would think. Was nice to see Dylan Smith get back on track on this outing, though only 3 K's

Not just a win, but a no-hitter! (Shocking that hasn't happened to the Tigers yet)
