Say what you will, I miss Jim Price with DD. Radio broadcasts aren’t the same without Severe Buggywhips, Yellowhammers and players batting thirrrrrrrrd

He wasn’t ready and promoting him was just Avila trying to get the fan base to focus on something else besides how awful of a job he was doing.

So they waited until he actually won a game to fire him? Oof. im sure the next hire will be someone inspired to return them to their roots like AJ Pierzynski, Tim Anderson or Robin Ventura….

Kerry Carpenter in the lineup for Toledo tonight

Kinda surprised that’s never happened before. Especially when the schedule was imbalanced and you had make up games scheduled awkwardly.

Problem is—there’s always a team or two out there that’ll still hand out the ridiculous pitcher contracts and skew the market so that every above average pitcher thinks they’re going to get that type of payday.

Why’d we not go with Foley to start the 9th? Was he supposed to be unavailable?

Tork with another HR

Who else is gonna be mad when AJ pulls Holton out before he gives up a baserunner?

Urshela and Ibanez can both play 1B/3B, Vierling can play 3B. Vilade or Madris can stay up and play 1B We have too many outfielders as is. All we truly need McKinstry for is to be a backup SS.

Trey Sweeney

Supposed to be starting at 5 on Bally

I’ll feel a lot better about the offense if Dingler, JHM and Meadows can have solid finishes to this season.

White Sox released Corey Knebel despite him having a successful rehab in AAA. Go get him Harris, that’s a low risk high reward move to try and help the bullpen.

This pitching staff needs a complete overhaul this offseason before we are going to compete. There is just no consistency with the pen and with the non Olson/Skubal starters

They’re doing this in front of Montell Jordan? Ouch…..

Relievers pitching like they know there’s no one in Toledo to threaten their roster spots…

Bullpen strategy: pump middle fastballs, hope for the best

Aside from Foley and Holton, we need a completely new pen next year

Not sure why they continue to cover up the whales. All fans love the whales and the Tigers haven’t been good since they have been doing it.

My #1 complaint about Hinch is how much he just refuses to pitch around the guys that absolutely kill us: Jose Ramirez, Buxton, Salvy…..

Welcome back Javy

McKinstry: “Can I play base-ball any more?” Doctor Zaius: “Well of course you can!” McKinstry: “Well I couldn’t before!”

We’ve at a minimum seen flashes of what a bunch of these guys could be- and a lot of them are plenty capable. Running McKinstry/Urshela/Baez/Canha-esque players out there constantly when we already know they aren’t part of a winning formula is what gets me. If we aren’t going to spend much in free agency until Harris’ guys get to Detroit, then at least let the roster be the guys who may actually contribute to the future and not placeholders.

He would’ve been the first player to be drafted higher than 1-1 but there were bone spur concerns
