Baez was in the initial lineup…and was removed a few hours before game time…just like yesterday.

[Dave Christian]

I'm disappointed that I have to watch Baez and Haase swing and miss today.

That's a plus!!

[kdog]

He was out of the lineup due to bereavement yesterday. Seems like there was a miscommunication about his availability today? 

[kdog]

Baez is available off the bench today. He will go on the bereavement list in the ‘near future.’ The tigers always have some strange stuff going on.

The Rays starters have had numerous health issues this year. The Orioles may be too much for them down the stretch.

the slacker who asked for a day off for a funeral in two weeks used to be the butt of dumb employee jokes as no-one had notice that far ahead of a funeral, but that is something that has changed. In recent years I've been to a lot of funeral/memorial services weeks and months after a death.

During the pandemic, they didn't allow groups of people together. So many people were having memorial tributes a year or two later. We had one for my ex FIL a year and half after he passed.

Yes - I think the pandemic did a lot to normalize something people have wanted to do anyway. The other factors are the increase in cremations and families scattered across the country. If an interment isn't driving the schedule a family can work out a date that more people are able to meet.

Manning still hanging his off speed pitches right over the plate. This could get ugly fast!

[gehringer_2]

can anyone on this team play this game?

I don't like the approach. At least the 1st time throw use your FB more until they start getting around on it. You're doing a hitter a favor telling him he doesn't have to look for velo right out of the gate.

[gehringer_2]

Every hit on a breaking ball. Stupid pitch calling.

Haase still proving he’s less than useless. 

[AZTigersfan]

Absolute shocker, Mckinstry strikes out to lead off the game. 

[Adullin]

Brutal defense 

[AZTigersfan]

Three sliders in a row and the third one absolutely crushed. Even cmo can see they’re sitting on soft. Come on Haase, wake up! 

[Sports_Freak]

Anybody seen any good movies lately? 🙄🙄

[Tigermojo]

Turn off the lights, the party is over.

[AZTigersfan]

In the zone out of the zone it doesn’t matter. Manning is getting absolutely hammered.

[Shinzaki]

There is no greater testimony to the failure of Sands than the presence of Haase as the back up catcher

[Adullin]

Time to watch a movie
