Interesting that Tigers are wearing their home whites for the away game.

I think were just running up against logistics here. We have two games today. Austin Meadows is DH in game one. Grossman and Hill play their usual outfield slots. Beyond the rest of the starting lineup we have Tork, Miggy, Haase and Willi, and neither Tork or Miggy are playing left. That means either Willi or Haase in left. Barnhart is catching game one, which means he’s not catching game two. The only other catcher on the team is Haase, and they’re not going to play Haase in game one in left if they’re planning to have him catch in game two. That leaves Willi as the only option for left in game one. It’s the limitation of the roster especially if 15 of your 27-man roster is pitching.

Because of the changes to the schedule due to the lockout, they had to move one of the games from Oakland to here.

The effect of ballparks on depth perception is a real thing. I was in an adult hardball league and we played a championship at the Schaumburg Flyers stadium, which is configure like a professional ballpark in a way our regular ballparks were not. The backstop was way deeper behind the plate then I was used to and while standing in left field, I was having trouble adjusting to the look.

Lol Willi in left

Two of the players on the Los Angeles Angels are Taylor Ward and Tyler Wade.

Three of the four guys you named are either good players going through slumps, or have a bright future.

No Castros in the lineup. We may have a chance.

Yes, some do. I wonder who? 🤔

Fuck ‘em, yes. But hopefully not fuck the rest of us.

I believe one of the things red hat leadership counts on is that the crimes they strive to commit are so outlandish, no one who thinks themselves reasonable would actually believe it, therefore the doubt is sown based on the crimes’ very outlandishness. That’s how they plan to get away with it all in the end.

I have no doubt that Trump would do this kind of thing in a heartbeat, but I also believe it’s 50/50 whether it’s really him or not.

Stop making sense

Can you imagine what The Nation or Mother Jones qualifies as?

Name recognition FTW

It wouldn’t be a bad thing, but it is impossible.

Is that the euphemism they’re using there’s days?

Yes it will, since he doesn’t know outfield defense from shinola.

So now I'm dishonest. Great. 😉 I don't blame Hinch for trying to work with the crap he's got.

I don't think Willi Castro should be our starting left fielder from now on. I'm just not blind with rage that Hinch put him out there, not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times. I understand that Hinch was trying to do his best to juggle the garbage lineup he has to work with. No one agrees with me. That's fine. I don't care. I'll think what I think, and you don't have to like it if you don't want. But hey, at least you guys got to score a lot of points off me. That was fun, right? 😅

Well, that's a bit of a stretch ... 😅

And I'm trying to explain that there aren't a lot of choices here, and the choices are terrible at this moment.

That's cool. As of today, that's Baddoo, Hill, Grossman, and literally nobody else. Get them out there all day, every day, no days off, play through your owies and your fatigue and your slumps. Fine by me. We're not winning either way, until the roster changes.
