He’ll get paid.  Will it be the Tigers?

Has Harris signed any bullpen arms for more than one year? He gave Maeda 2 years but that was with the idea to be a SP. He just stunk so bad he ended up as a mop up BP pitcher.

Toronto lost

Now do Paddack's. He's given up 12 runs in his last 14.1 IP.

So the Tigers are atop the AL again and if they win tomorrow they’ll be the 2nd MLB team to hit 80 wins, after only Milwaukee.

No...Big Picture. Sign or trade for several arms. Or even the waiver wire. If a couple/few work out, good job. Think about it, in 2024, there were zero expectations of making a playoff run. It was why we were sellers at the deadline. But with a contending team, front office mistakes are magnified. Finnegan has been really good, so far. Paddack? Just the opposite. He should now be on a very short leash, maybe that's why Hinch got him out of there today. It was a really good use of his BP today.

I forgot what it was like to win. I didn’t follow this game very closely because I was expecting the worst and after the first inning…

Glad the Tigers won. Glad Finnegan is excelling. 

After all the seeming setbacks and disappointments the Tigers still have the second most wins in all the baseball, but when you’re in the midst of a skid, it doesn’t feel like that. 

I know these guys play with passion and really care. But they have to have ice water in their veins still to withstand all the stuff that really bothers us.

Yes, they play every game one at a time and have to forget yesterday (plus or minus, especially P's). Hinch has always said something to the effect 'Today is the biggest game'.

Either the change of senery has done wonders or Fetter tweaked something for him. He just may want to stick around.

Paddack for sure wants to stick around. He’s does nothing but talk up the Tigers to reporters who ask him about anything.

I had heard they adjusted his pitch sequencing.  I'm sure there are other tweaks, but his K rate has gone up considerably.
