Too bad Cy Schwellenbach is on the mound.

Hinch talks about how they they always get two out singles and can't stack any kind of offense together. I've seen him mention it at least five times in his postgame. First two guys make outs, then the 3rd guy hits a meaningless single which doesn't matter. To counteract that, you would need some power but they have very little of it.

It’s what always happens when you have a line-up with low OBP. It’s simple math, when individual batters have high probability of making outs, you don’t get many multi hit rallies or men on base leading off innings.

Schwellenbach on his way to a Cy Young...Oops he's pitching against the Tigers.

This kid is def a fav to get the vaunted "Cy Young only against the Tigers offense" award.

Maybe, but there are probably 20 other candidates for that.

Competition is fierce.

If it wasn't for Mize's draft position, do you think he would be in long relief out in the bullpen?

Woop woop Riley 

Score runs dummies 

[Sports_Freak]

Bet Riley doesn't score.

He doesn’t throw enough strikes or Ks to be a good BP candidate. TBF he doesn’t have enough IP since the TJ to give up on, but it points to how important it would have been to get him into competition before last season ended.

Somethin somethin even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut 🤷‍♂️

I hear the beat writers say that Meadows will replace Baddoo this weekend. That makes sense. I'm willing to give JHM more time but he has a long way to go.

[Dtrain72]

Either Malloy's fast tracking his way back to Toledo, or Scott just needs to pull the cord and keep him and up and go full youth movement and bring up a bunch of Mudhens.

[Sports_Freak]

I know he's young and inexperienced but Malloy looks worse than Parker ever did.

And he has no defensive value.

Call up Parker, put him in CF and get Riley back to LF. At least Parker has speed and defense.

Oh...you were trolling me for harping on Malloy? 🤣🤣

I get the point about surgery, but if he doesn't improve, what value does he actually have?

RIP Willie Mays

I appreciate the Tigers commitment to astrophysics by attempting to create a black hole with that 6-9
