Whew...stress. Getting behind hitters...stop it!

Torres may have a reputation for not hustling at times but his baseball IQ is off the charts.

Still no outs...more runs please.

It was a pretty exciting finish. I think they caught a break from the refs but they didn't waste that break. They executed the plays they needed to pull off a fantastic finish. 😆

True. Team value increases no matter the product on the field. OTOH, you have teams like the Mets or Dodgers who don't seem to care about spending huge money on payroll. Yes, they're bigger markets and making more money but they're spending it for the best possible product. And if a team is run properly, they don't need to spend so much. Drafting and developing players can work just as well as giving out huge contracts to established starts. It's just much slower.

The Cubs are that stupid? Even with 2 quality starting pitchers, they can't compete with the Dodgers, Padres or Mets. If just winning their division is the goal, go for it. Go ahead and trade away the future.

All the pro and con talk about trading Skubal with a year and half of team control? It could be worse. Lmao;

MAGA cult members are all around us. 😡😡

The Tigers are going to take their offensive frustrations out on the terrible Boston pitching staff. Place your bets....we're gonna destroy them!!

Sports was designed to control the masses in place of religion, which stopped working. Or so says my sports-hating MAGA brother.

I'm the guy across the street with the perfect lawn. No weeds, ever. I edge, cut and fertilizer. Give my neighbors advice, when they ask. But so far this year, I can't even get thru cutting half my lawn without stopping for a break. And it hasn't even been hot yet. I don't like these companies that come to people's yards with their worn out, nasty and gross lawn equipment to "service" peoples lawns. They spread lawn disease. I need to find a neighborhood kid to come over and use my equipment while I stand over their shoulder telling them how wrong they're doing it. 🤣🤣🤣

I can relate. Even just cutting the grass is kicking my butt this year. It sucks because I used to take pride in a beautiful lawn. Plus, I'm cheap...lol

Fire all 3 of the hitting coaches. Right, TP?

I heard Jason mention something about that but I didn't hear the whole story.

Donny Kelly got the boot in his 2nd game as manager...thrown out in the 6th inning...lmao

Tigers win another low score game? A 3-1 victory?

It looks like the Cubs used pitching chaos tonight. An opener went one inning and a long pitcher came in for 4 innings. Then 4 more pitchers, all 1 inning each. And they hung on and beat the Mets, in NY. I wonder where they got that idea? 😆

I only hear him when he's on TV. I just figured he had some insider info, like maybe Hinch told him Montero wasn't available.

He's still on the 40 man roster though. But he's struggled, big time, for the last year. I remember he had a few spot starts last season. Maybe did OK in a couple

Yeah, they both pitched on the day of the DH. I wonder why Dan thought that?

Worst loss of the season? It seems like a long time since we've been blown out so bad.

Others would know better but I think they may have a pretty good BP.

And Dickerson is speculating that the Mize spot in the rotation this time thru may be a chaos game. Montero would be on short rest. Who else do we have stretched out? Manning? Last I saw, his AAA ERA was quite high.
