JD Martinez was out there awhile. I know Hinch like to use the DH to rest guys but the Tigers had a questionable offense and JD could have won us a few games. The Tigers weren't in on any free agents, but trades? We have no idea if Harris worked on any trades for a quality player. He prolly was told to keep the payroll down. At least, that would be my guess.

This is key; "In a year or two, Rakestraw and Arnold could be the starting outside cornerbacks in a Lions defense that has other good talent on that side of the ball to help their cover corners." Rookie corners usually struggle their first season. And the Lions history with bringing rookies along slowly are all excellent points in establishing them so they get confidence. Nobody in the organization wants to throw them to the wolves and ruin their careers. By the end of the season, they should be playing at a high level, just in time for the playoffs...😀

Exactly. Send a message...a real zero tolerance message. Guys caught with cannabis in their system get longer suspensions than people beating on women, fighting in clubs or gun charges? The NFL needs to start using common sense.

That's pretty obvious to fans but what we dont know about is if he's under orders to keep the payroll low. That would explain a lot, why he goes after these prove-it type players. They're less expensive.

I remember when the Tigers were so good that we had off-day threads just to keep us all going for a day. Ahhh....the good old days!

The Steelers signed Cam Sutton.

I just read it's the same hip he had surgery on in 2022 and it's been bothering him for awhile.

A 4-3 road trip is pretty good. Both teams we played had a lot of injuries but...that's baseball.

Maybe it's time for Jobe? Move Mize to long relief.

Who else do we have available for long relief tonight?

A relief pitcher who can't throw strikes is 100% useless.

I never bought in when people said from May on, Maeda was very good. Previous seasons success doesn't mean he'll be good every year. Falling off a cliff happens.

Leash was extra short...lol

Benetti, with the rule book, says the pitchers gets as many warmups as the umpire says are necessary. I never knew the ump had a say.

But I'm jealous every time we face Witt. We had all of those early picks and we need a SS. All that losing...

See how Javy does after a day off.

It's part luck. They just happened to have a high pick when he was available. We get Mize and Torkelson...

Ohtani took Skenes deep. What a match up that would have been.

For anyone who missed the video; Porcello and Youkilis

That really was great. That and the Porcello takedown of Youkilis. 2 of my favorites. With off days on Thursday and Monday, I hope Hinch plans a very short leash for Maeda tonight

I saw him in a dugout. I think the Yankees? A bench coach? Lol

No matter who starts at SS, who is on the roster now, Javy should be a defensive replacement in later innings with the lead. That was lazy managing.

Javy is fine. We could carry his bat if others hit consistently. His defense and baserunning is very entertaining.

Kriedler is just about back to Toledo or just recently back.

Whew...I hope that run was unearned.
