It's Hinch's fault.  He's too soft. These guys need to toughen up and play through injuries.  I don't remember Jack Morris going on the DL twice a year.

blame Ilitch; if he spent more money, Olson would not have gotten hurt

It all stems with Avila.  Why did he have to trade Daniel Norris for him?

Reese Olson done for the year 

Feel bad for Reese. Wow. 

"Shoulder strain." Might = TJ and basically out 2 years

Return of him and Jobe perfectly timed to head the rotation in 2027 after Skubal leaves 😞

Except TJ would be elbow.

Either way, it’s a lower body injury in hockey.

Riley has become a feast or famine guy with his bat lately.

Lately?

saw this.   i flat hated the tiger coming out of the D logo but I do like the idea of using Garfield

 

[sagnam]

I think Olson’s issue is blood flow related. There isn’t enough blood in the human body to keep his cheeks that red AND supply oxygen to the shoulder.

[Shinzaki]

I hate shoulder injuries...they seem to end a lot more careers than elbows...probably because there's no magic fix like the TJ surgery

Funny, but Jim Davis' publisher may have the last work on this one.

Garfield is a pussy

You can add Joe Cobb to that list. He is the Tiger's version of Moonlight Graham.

1 plate apperance, 1 walk as a pinch hitter. That's it. Did not appear in the field.

Gleyber has been consistent with his approach all season. Even with the glut of middle infielders in the minors, I'd like to see him remain a Tiger. He's so young. He could remain an above average player for the next 5-6 years. I'd almost rather see Harris spend money that way, rather than 400+ on Skubal

He was good enough and smart enough and he pitched to the score and he said so. 

[Shinzaki]

Morris had shoulder issues early in his career

Signing Torres would solve our second base problem for the next five years. Then we can trade McGonigle for a proven major leaguer. 😉

TJ is elbow, but shoulder injury is probably worse.

Are you talking about Gleyber? Because that guy’s been posting up for the past four seasons.
