Andy Ibanez is taking drills in Detroit...no corresponding move reported yet. It's either Jahmai Jones or someone going on the IL.

I believe Parker Meadows just went on the IL and Kreidler and Ibanez were called up.

OK Meadows for Ibanez makes sense, but who sleeps with the fishes for Kreidler?

Olson and Meadows both hurt. 60 day and 10 day IL.

Paddack gets Olson's 40 man spot but he's not on the 26 man yet.

I’m envious of all the games the rest of you have seen. The only game I’ve ever seen at Comerica was August 5, 2019 as a guest of our esteemed leader @MotownWebGuy who quite honestly treated me like a king. What a guy! We are fortunate to have him on our side and make this extraordinary playground available to us.

It was a great time. It was an ordinary night game that lasted 3:41 minutes. Remember how long games used to be? 

It was the JaCoby Jones, Niko Goodrum era. Jake was the catcher. Miggy hit into his 14th double play of the year. Turnbull started and only lasted three innings. Gregory Soto took the loss in long relief. Jones hit a triple and a home run. The Tigers lost to the White Sox 7–4. And yes, the White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson treated us like we were his b*tch. The Tigers record at the time was 32–77.

We labor under much better circumstances today. 

Have you been to a game in Seattle? I know it's not exactly a short drive from Idaho, but only one state so probably as you'll get to MLB (unless you're closer to Denver?). I've been to about 10 games there over the years. I like its roof - when it's open, you don't even know it's there.

The Tigers management brought Melton up because they see something in him that most of us haven't seen yet. I wish the kid well, we sure could use an effective starting pitcher. Arizona isn't a real terrible road team with a 25-27 road record.

[Sports_Freak]

Kreidler should only be used in an emergency. Or not at all.

I saw a game there a few years ago and it was spectacular. There were almost as many people wearing Tigers gear in the stands as Mariners gear. And of course, in the touristy areas, it was 3/4 people with Tigers gear. The roof was open, so I have no idea what it’s like when it’s closed.

[papalawrence]

Believe in Riley's stash!!

[Archie]

The Paddack/Dobnak trades seems more like a move of desperation instead of a team making an improvement for a post season run.  I hope there is more coming so we don't have to continue with Kreidler and Ibanez.  Now that I said that I'm sure one of them will hit the game winning RBI tonight.

[IdahoBert]

Melton with a good first inning. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

speaking of bad pitchers/acquisitions as earlier in the thread, Dan was just bemoaning the Suárez-Simon trade (and not for the first time in the past couple weeks).

I was living in Seattle when the kingdom came down. My ex wife and I lived on Beacon Hill behind downtown and we could see the demolition from our back porch. The kingdome was just as bad as the metrodome. Only been to their new stadium once. I enjoyed it!

[IdahoBert]

The ump is a strike zone idiot hopefully he’ll at least be a consistent idiot. 

[IdahoBert]

Ha!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

that was a wild play! bloop drops, Jones scores as he gets hit on the head by the throw, and Tork ends up on 3rd.

[Tigermojo]

Tork dirty bomb!

[Sports_Freak]

Umpires who get calls wrong should be fined. And there should be a list of the amount of calls they get wrong.

good luck working that into their CBA.

[IdahoBert]

So the Tigers only have 12 pitchers on the staff roster, for today at least.
