Is Greene hurting? 3 at bats, 3 strikeouts. Against a RH pitcher. Bummer...

Hinch is a genius. I knew Lukas would be a bullpen weapon. 🤣🤣 Now score about 9 more runs.

Hinch has the AAA pitcher coming into the game in the 3rd inning. The guy should be the very LAST option. Down by 10 runs or up by 10 runs? OK, use him. But, on the road against a very good hitting team? Hinch is showing us the future if the Tigers trade away their only 2 reliable starting pitchers.

Agreed. Like I said, if some team wants him, they'll need to overpay, big time. At least, IMO. LH #1 pitchers don't grow on trees. So I would want at least 2 major league ready position players, a minor league prospect and a couple AA SP prospects. It would have to be a package that's impossible to refuse, not a points close trade

Look up Burnes, he's much closer to Skubal than you think. I would say Skubal is better, but just a little. Burnes pitches in a much tougher division and has more than held his own. The only way the Tigers should even listen to offers for Skubal is if some team wants him SO badly, they're willing to WAY overpay. The Tigs hold all the cards, we don't have to trade him (yet). But yeah, his value right now is at its highest.

Kinda like the JV trade? All the Tigers ended up with is Jake Rogers and a huge payroll reduction.

There's so much interest in the Lions, there's a 1/2 hour TV special on the first day of training camp. Televised training camp...wow.

Tigers need to score a dozen runs to win. Is Hinch leading Javy off? Get him more at-bats to work his way outta his "little" slump. 🤣🤣

The question is...IF the Tigers find a SS in the trade market, are they willing to eat Javy's contract and DFA him?

We only have 3 healthy starting pitchers with little to no help in the minors. It would be irresponsible to trade a SP without any plan to replace him. 3 BP days every 5 days? Stretch out a RP? It's madness!

It's pretty bad when I was hoping for a ~.205 hitter for him.

With Jake on the bench? Giving away outs...

Gotta PH for Javy, right?

I really wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't traded. If Olson is hurt bad, we only have 2 SP...and Montero and Maeda. Ugh...

Indian....lol

Boyd will be back up for them in August.

2 walks for Flaherty. Unusual.

Too many. Where's Bert's 6 runs?

With Clevelands SP issues, this division is winnable. This season...

I'm 215 lbs. Hitters need to hit at least MY weight to be in a starting lineup. Javy stinks...reverse jinx?

No. No, Hinch. Just, please, no!

Hinch will save Maeda for tomorrow.

Does Miami have any stud hitters or pitchers who will soon be very expensive? They always seem to have to deal away stars, a modern day Miguel Cabrera trade would be pretty good. Get it done, Scott. 🤣🤣

What did the Tigers draft, about 4 shortstops? Any internal option we have at SS is still 2 years away? If we want to compete next season, we desperately need a SS. And to DFA Javy. Are the Tigers willing to eat his contract? He's the worst hitter in all of baseball? Move on already, he can't be fixed. I would say SP and SS are the Tigers biggest needs.

Today is the anniversary of the "pine tar game". 1983...Billy Martin knew about the pine tar and kept that fact in his back pocket to use at the right time. Lol...I remember watching the game live at my mom's house. I was 23 years old.
