The guy was always a freak show, and I don't necessarily mean physically.

While I wouldn't say the Comerica skyline is the equal of the PNC Park skyline in Pittsburgh, or even the Truist Field skyline in Charlotte, I do think the DAC provides one of the premier distinctive looks to an outfield skyline of any ballpark.

I don’t think Candy was the block, so much. Schoop has no future with this team beyond next year. He’s a definite short-timer. (Or at least he had better be!) As silly as it sounds right now given how bad he has done this year so far, Candy is (or has been) considered a potential contributor to the next playoff team. There would have been more of a future to a 3B-2B combo of Candy and Paredes with Schoop leaving, than of Paredes and Schoop with Candy leaving. That’s why I believe it was Schoop blocking Paredes. Either way, it seemed that even though Paredes was always considered to have sleeper star potential in the return from that Alex Avila-Justin Wilson trade, he was never going to get the chance to make it happen here. His fate was sealed when the Tigers signed Schoop to the 2/15 (or, more exactly, a 1/7.5 with a player option!) on the strength of a middling 2-win performance last year (and at first base!) It’s making me wonder whether there was something non-baseball happening behind the scenes that the Tigers front office or coaching didn’t like, and didn’t want to keep around. Attitude? Work ethic? Cultural mismatch? It certainly wasn’t lack of talent or potential.

Wow, look at Miggy busting it down the line after that weak pulled grounder. At least that part was entertaining. Ah, well ... Small moral victories suck.

Maybe we're finally starting to see the light switched.

Call me stupid if you want, but I like Baez coming up this inning. Let's se how this one ages!

Schoop Schoop ba-doop Schoop ba-doop Schoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop

Alex Lange for closer. Who's with me?

You don't say. 😁😉😅

That's true at the moment.

Yeah, I'm lucky to have time-shifting available on both ends.

This Tigers administration have had egg crusted onto their face for years running.

Not trying to make you madder about all this, but Paredes was traded because Schoop was blocking him. 🦆🦆

Now, what I can do is pull upthe radio only feed on my iOS device, cast it to my soundbar via bluetooth, and then adjust my TV DVR so the video matches the audio. I have MLB Extra Innings so I can time-shift it back and forth. The MTF downside is that it puts me about a minute or so behind the rest of you guys.

Neither. I'm saying you can't switch the audio you're hearing on the device itself away from the default TV feed to the optional radio feed.

That's not my criticism of any focus I have on Paredes. My criticism is that the Tigers haven't known how to unlock latent talent, which we all know Paredes has in spades. The new regime might be different, but apparently they came too late to keep Paredes on a string. They're succeeding more lately on pitchers, but then, pitching is the overwhelming focus of this entire organization. If we fuck up Roberto Campos by trading him cheap to fill an injury hole, and he goes on to rake for somebody else, that might just be my last straw.

Looks like the updated MLB app on iOS introduced a bug in which you can't do radio audio overlays anymore. I assume it's a bug because the option is there and they shows you choices for video and audio feed, but there's nothing under either and the GUI is kind of clunky looking. If they were removing the option all together, they'd probably would've removed the icon to select it as well. I also assume it should come back in the next version, but it might be days or it might be weeks before that happens.

Sad to say … It doesn’t mean the Tigers were right, or had no choice, but to trade him.

Also, home runs by Wily Adames and Avisial Garcia. It’s Escape From Detroit Night, Would It Dong edition.

Hey, by the way; how’s Austin Meadows doing?

Trump’s brand is predicated entirely on winning.

Good hitting coaching. 😄

You can’t win if you edit it out. 😁

Only one, I guess.
