Vest and Faedo optioned out.

Meh...you missed part of the conversation. He said an iPhone knows your location even if you use a VPN. I said that would make a VPN useless, since it's purpose is to hide any trace of your location. My NordVPN works on my phone and PCs but my TVs are unprotected.

Seriously? Does Android do too? That would make a VPN useless.

I have Xfinity. Even with a DVR box, the picture keeps pixilating. Pretty annoying

Foley doesn't want to throw a strike because they may hit it. Enjoy Toledo...he gone.

HCastro looked like he was in serious pain after that first strike call. Kinda comical.

Fox News?

I feel really bad for the kid. The guy started the season with some really bad luck, crushing the ball but right at defenders. I wonder if that affected his confidence? He really is a plus/plus defender though.

Yes, he's young. And should have been sent down June 1st when it was painfully obvious he wasnt/isn't ready. But by all means, keep him up here. Destroy any possibility of any development he may have.

Missing the battle for last place? Or watching the pitcher the Tigers passed on use both his pitches to dominate the Tigers hitters?

Exactly the definition of a bust. High expectations, highly rated and drafted early. But no production. How long do we wait? 2 more years? A new GM would clean house of all of Avila's mistakes.

Phil Nevin 2.0.

Can he play 1st base? It would be nice to get any production at all from a power position. Torkelson is a bust, not the 1st #1 pick to not produce.

0-2 pitch and he throws a cookie right down the middle. Pitch screaming..."hit me". And he crushed it. Baseball 101...don't give them anything to hit when you're ahead in the count.

This probably only became a bigger issue after free agency and huge contracts. More players moving around. I remember Sparky went in as a Red and some Detroit fans were upset. But hopefully, JV will some day come back to Detroit. How cool would it be if he got his 300th win as a Tiger?

I thought they stopped having players go in representing a team?

So JV will be 40 years old in February of 2023. He's at 235 career wins right now. Being conservative, give him 10 more wins this season. 245 career wins at 39 years old. And he's pitching at a Cy Young level. Can he make it to 300 career wins? 2 or 3 more seasons? 42/43 years old? I bet he does it, if he stays healthy.

Avila shoulda been fired when he extended Ausmus.

I don't agree. The Meadows-Paredes trade was almost 100% applauded. Everyone thought we ripped Tampa off. As it is, we may still eventually get something out of Meadows, we still have him for a few years. And there really was no room for Paredes here. I wish the guy luck. That said...Fire Al already.

I'm 62 and pulled a groin muscle slipping on the ice in Janurary...it still hurts. Getting old sucks.

Remember that time Tiger fans thought Al Avila made a great trade getting Meadows from Tampa? No speed, not an elite defender, but he has power. Or he did...for Tampa. For Detroit? Not so much. May as well release him now, he brings nothing to the table. Ryan Raburn, Dirks and Bosch all had better Tiger career numbers that Austin....we should have known we were getting ripped off. It was an Avila trade after all.

Maybe it's your VPN blocking it? I don't have a VPN router so my TVs aren't affected by it.

It's on Roku. I don't need it cause I have Xfinity but I loaded it just in case.

With tomorrow off, we can use the BP a bit more.

It would be. But it's hard when you only play once a week. Gotta give Burnhard his at bats with no power and his weak .220 batting average. But his defense.....
