Maybe he couldn't grip the bat. Or hopefully, just playing it safe. He jammed a finger on that same hand about a week ago. He may have missed a game then too.

Carpenter came out of nowhere last season and forced himself onto this team. I don't know the advanced stats, but the eye test seems like he may be a keeper.

15 left on base. 'Nuf said.

It was his left hand that got HBP, wasn't it? Non-throwing hand.

I was wrong, he's always been a SP.

My point being, with the 3rd pick, there will be a player everyone agrees should be the 3rd player taken. If that player never works out, we can blame Harris? Just like we blame Avila for Torkelson, Greene, Mize and Manning? Those guys were expected to go when they did. Injuries and ineffectiveness aren't something that can be predicted. The MLB draft is a crapshoot, many teams first round picks never make it to the show. Or are you saying a GM can be judged by his later draft picks? I have to agree with that. It's the job of the GM to get the right scouts in the right place to find talent. And it's also the job of the GM to have the right coaches to develop the talent.

He does consistently look overmatched.

But the MLB baseball draft is a crapshoot. I remember when Mize, Manning, Greene and Torkelson were drafted, they were considered best picks on the board. Yes, some players drafted later turned out to be really good, right now. Right now, Greene is slumping (as every player does at some point). And Tork is smoking the ball. When those start missing fielders, his numbers will look better. And if these guys don't start producing, Harris may decide to cut bait and bring in his own picks. After all, HE didn't draft these guys. We'll see who Harris picks with the 3rd pick this season.

Just another example of a pitchers win-loss record being somewhat meaningless.

Wasn't Alexander the pitcher of record? I thought he would get the win.

A year to rehab and another half year to be all the way healty.

Indoor truck rallies used to be very horrible at the Silverdome.

For now. Wait until the league gets more video of him. But I like his command.

So...all we need is a 3 run homer every game. Earl Weaver would be proud... It's always more fun when you win.

So....Miggy will be in the All Star game then...😆

It's always nice to win.

How long do we give Greene and Torkelson? Not criticism, just a serious question. All season? All of 2024 too? These guys gotta produce.

Rain delay?

So...back to losing...

After blowing a 3-1 9th lead?

I didn't even know Vest was called up. So...easy come, easy go. 😆

Don't they allow an extra pitcher for a DH?

Agreed. But stoopid Hinch has this team peaking WAY too early. We need to play like this in August and September. 🤣🤣🤣

How sweep it is!!
