The quality ABs is impressive.... seeing a lot of pitches.

Maybe the Tigers should trade for his brother, make it extra confusing

Whit Merrifield looked like he wanted to snap that bat in half lol

Joe could stand to throw more than just fastballs, but otherwise he seems good as well.

Nice to see him putting it altogether!

Nice bounceback outing for Lange

If Riley Greene comes back no worse the wear, we may be saying his injury was for the best lol

What was that call? Jeebus, bring on the roboumps

I mostly agree with this. Will say that, even setting the stuff aside, Manning impresses me with his killer instinct on the mound. I like that he goes after guys and doesn't nibble as much as Mize

Meadows!

Second game in a row with a Victor knock with RISP

Reyes!!!

I do think some of the reactions on social media are a bit much. There's reason for concern, but let's see how the year goes.

People keep saying Miguel might be the worst hitter in the lineup, but that seems aspirational to me

Frustrating

He is still young so I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. It just concerns me that a lot of his issues seem in his head to me.

He's overthinks things way too much, trying to be too perfect with every pitch. I hate to use a Jim-ism, but he needs to trust his arsenal

Cannot walk Mondesi there... ugh

I hate that I find it funny lol

Parker Meadows (again)... A double and homer in the second game wf WM's doubleheader tonight!

That second to last pitch to Sal Perez was a good example of what he could get if his command was better of that pitch. Just too few and far between at this point

C-Mo gets road duty on the radio this year per DD, sounds like

Mariners-White Sox this afternoon.... Sox score on two straight routine popups botched by the Mariners (made difficult by windy conditions). 🙄 Can't quite remember anything like it

This may be closer to my feelings on it as well. I guess my initial post was more of a reaction to the reaction from a lot of the baseball media to the move by the Dodgers. And the reaction, imo, sort of stands in contrast to the concern that many of the same folks may had toward/about the players during the CBA. Bringing it back to the Tigers, part of me sees it from the perspective of watching our team lose its most established starter last year a few weeks after throwing a 117 pitch no-hitter. It's probably not strictly that game that led Turnbull to end needing TJ, but it sort of brought home to me that there can be risks in overexposing guys.

All of this true, and why I now call him the "Paper Czar" The West has to stop being led around by the nose by this guy. All of the threats seem empty... he's still selling gas in Euros, he's backing off nukes, etc. His vaunted military has underperformed on just about every metric.
