IdahoBert Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 With an airship terminal attached to the new scoreboard, the Tigers can now send players to Toledo for hitting refresher courses and cut travel time from 1 hr. and 11 min. to only 22 min.

(per Jason Beck) That transportation mode makes sense. A slingshot is slightly underqualified. That would barely get someone to north of Monroe from either direction. Although if the winds last night were lined up just right, it could've worked one way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Javy not playing game one. Not sure about putting in two lesser defensive players on the same side of the infield. (McKinstry at SS and Vierling at 3B) in the same game. Seems to be a possible disadvantage for Kenta. Seems like McKinstry-Gio in one game and maybe Baez-Viering in the 2nd game might be better - unless Javy is injured. What if Manning pitches brilliantly in Game 2 today? What then? It seems like it would be a serious **** move to send him back to Toledo then. How much rope does Parker get here? Just looks uncomfortable and overmatched at the plate. Sending him to Toledo would not be a punishment, it would be a reset. I know the idea of Akil Baddoo coming up isn't that exciting with his robust .212 BA, but his OBP is solid at .366, but he'd be a fill-in as Matt Vierling has earned a chance to play every day - at least for now. I have always thought that Matty V could be the best player in that Philly trade and if he puts it all together with his speed and power, he could be a really good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought that Matty V could be the best player in that Philly trade and if he puts it all together with his speed and power, he could be a really good player. My thought after last night was hedging towards putting a lineup out there for the early game to win it and go from there in the "nightcap". But then here's the thing with the position players. They're all on call all day today. Kelly probably catches the early game and Rogers probably catches the second game. Greene probably gets a game at DH and a game in the field. I think those might have been the only assumptions going into today. I kind of wish Faedo stayed in to finish last night's game and then Chafin and Vest were fully ready to go today. Maybe I'm thinking of it wrong, but I think have more fully ready arms available today would have been the way to go. We know Hinch doesn't like to use pitchers in both games as he ahs said as much. And just because the trio pitched yesterday, that doesn't mean none of them are available today. But I think this situation goes back building a bullpen with more multiple inning options. Having the scheduled day off this week does help things out. The doubleheader doesn't, although Manning up as the 27th man. I'd option Manning down again after today as that availability is there. Its unfortunate for him. Maybe Olson would be a consideration there. But his spot in the rotation and Manning today doesn't line up well for the next go round. Maybe if Mize had looked poor he gets sent down to "rehab". But that just doesn't seem to be the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(per Jason Beck) Knowing the Tigers High Level brass we could have another Hindenburg on our hands. It might be better to house the company jet at Coleman Young to ferry players. It's about a 15 minute drive and a smaller corporate jet would be faster than a giant balloon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a comment (and can’t remember where now) that the Tigers aren’t really confident yet in Perez as an OF. Last night was probably garbage time. Or maybe what I heard was bunk.

chasfh Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 An amazing unassisted double play by Colt Keith and Dan Dickerson couldn’t even call it because they had to have the sideline reporter in the stands fulfilling what I assume is a contractual obligation of some sort by talking to some Oakland University basketball players instead. What are we even doing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are we even doing here? That was extremely irritating. They did the same thing last night, some story while she was talking and totally ignored the game. Dan is much better calling the game, he tells everyone what's going on during every at-bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Am I a bad person for thinking that the name Kerry Carpenter sounds like a female porn star name? Or is this already old hat? I was hardly around this site last year, so I wouldn’t know if everyone had the same idea that I had or if I’m just a bad person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
