The Astros are just rolling over for Seattle. The division is locked up so they're resting many of their regulars. I hope the Tigers sweep them. 😅

Well, the MLB draft is pretty much a crapshoot. It's just so very hard to see where HS players will develop into in 3 to 5 years. College players are a bit easier to judge but most of the better ones are gone in the early rounds. And the earlier picks (Tork) are given much more time and many more chances than later rounds picks. The smart move would be to move on if these guys don't start producing after a certain amount of at bats. Tork's recent issue with sliders is really starting to remind me of Javy. If the Tigers can't get him to lay off of that pitch, it's pretty hopeless. It's almost time to move on...

While I agree with most of this, I can't agree with Avila actually doing anything more than just being in charge when players got drafted. He had a team of scouts in place who gave him advice on who to draft. Giving Avila credit for much of anything is giving him too much credit. I understand that IF he was told to slash payroll, that he was forced to trade away all of our ML talent. But he took some very poor advice on the returns. He slashed payroll but the players he received were very underwhelming. Who's left? Jake Rogers? Olson? I can't think of many other remaining players.

Watching the Houston game, the announcers are actually discussing who the 'Stros will play in the 2nd round after they're done with the Tigers.

He also was bad at hiring people to develop players. Looking at the roster, there's a lot of players he drafted. But it took better people to find the right team to actually develop them.

LET'S GO!!!

I saw something funny on Twitter. I can't find it but it was something like; Water covers 2/3 of the earth. Parker Meadows covers the other 1/3. 🤣🤣

IMO, Shep always seemed like he was just filling in. Like a temporary broadcaster. I never disliked the guy, he always just seemed...meh.

They finish in Atlanta for 3 games after 2 more in Washington.

They have to won ar least one, don't they? A 2 game lead with 5 to go.

Royals win.

If the Nats get out of it only giving up 1 run, they have a chance.

0-0 KC at Nationals...top of the 9th inning.

Ragans done. 6 ip 0 runs 6 strikeouts

Before today;

Tigers magic number over Boston in 1? They're losing 2-0 to Toronto.

Opposite. Twins losing 4-0.

Into the playoffs or seeding? We have other options that can easily beat Chicago. Really need Skubal for the first game of a 3 game series.

I saw an article this morning that said we have different magic numbers against different teams. It kinda made sense.

To think, there was a point, not too long ago, where I considered canceling Bally Sports. Sure glad I didn't.

Happy post-game show.

Against the WSox when we're winning 9-2? The whole BP is rested and using a young inexperience kid could destroy our entire season. We need to win every single game.

And Seattle. Maybe Baltimore?

Keith with a veteran move, look out, Tork!
