Rain is still west of Minneapolis. I'm in south mpls and it's overcast, but not wet. I'll link radar. Supposed to be thunder and rain in pockets. Maybe it will miss downtown.

Wish they could bump up the start time. Not sure if they get this one in.

I agree, but I also think those who want him called up to Detroit now are going to be disappointed. That's not Harris' approach.

Of course players can do it - Miggy, Harper and Trout were all up at age 19. With JV, it was DD in charge. He isn't cautious. Harris is a different boss. He just said last week he isn't bringing anyone up early, and they will all go through each step of development. If he promotes McGonigle to aaa now, perhaps he could be up mid September.

I think Harris will only trade Skubal for an incredible package. The Tigers should be in contention again next season, and it also makes sense to keep Skubal and take the draft pick. We'll find out soon enough.

Whew! Melton, SGL, Finnegan and Vest. Those will be vital arms for the final stretch. Not sure if I trust any lefties in the pen right now

I live in Minneapolis......there is a collective booooooo heard around the city today.

Pitching chaos isn't going to work this year. Brieske, Hurter, Holton, Foley were all pitching very well.

I believe Jason said the ChiSox have a better record than Detroit post all-star game.

Harris has stated in multiple interviews that he will not promote a player out of need, only when he feels the player is developmentally ready. And he has stressed the process of developing through every phase of the farm. I don't see the top of the farm guys up with the team until next mid-season at the earliest.

Is Skubal up tomorrow?

Check and see who got dfa'd this week. Harris will bring him in for the bullpen.

Is Johnny on vacation? Or did the new guy take his place?

I think that's a line from Shawshank Redemption

During the losing streak, that Tork bomb was an inch foul. Basdball gods back in Detroit's dugout

Nice win!!

Thank you very much

Not sure how to resolve the TJ issue. So many guys throw 100+ with 2000+ spin rate now.

I haven't been to Pittsburgh in 35 years. Seems like only 34 years. I actually liked the area a lot

A lot can happen between now and the end of 2026. Skubal is definitely betting on himself to stay healthy. It worked for Scherzer, but it's definitely a gamble

Statement on how long the rebuild took. They have a chance for a trio of 30+ guys this year

I tend to mix up Ethel Merman, Kate Smith and Shelly Winters. Same with Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. Don't get me started on Sebastian Cabot.......

Negotiations always start somewhere. My guess is that Harris opened the door and Boras said Skubal is going to test the open market, which is what Boras almost always does. My point was that I do not believe Harris made any offer to appease the fans, to "look like he tried." My hunch is that Harris did this to let them know Detroit would love to have him stay there for his next contract. Boras likely said there will be no early extension.

He needs 5 more to tie Walter Johnson at 3508. He is hoping to pitch next year.
