are WBC guys prepping somewhere else? Seems it would be important that players going to WBC get some work in prior because you know there is a high probability guys will overdo it there.

Yes, the ones that aren't in camp have had friendlies. Each WBC team has several exhibitions the next week before the tournament starts up.

or they have a plan and it is optimal and they know how to execute it.

i know it's hard to fathom we could actually ever have that, but that's a possibility, too. 😏

one hopes. I was happy to see Edman's post that WBC guys have their own training/exhibition setup. You'd think this stuff was all obvious but historically we know they've often screwed things up because the planners were more concerned with the $$ than the players.

So you're mad they didn't add a hitter.

ESPN has our lineup ranked 22nd. I think that's pretty spot on.

Thayron Liranzo homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. Josue Briceño scores. Hao-Yu Lee scores. Tigers lead BJs 4-3.

Looks like all the pitchers did pretty well against Toronto except for Vest who gave up three hits and three runs in 2/3,although I haven’t been following the game and he could’ve been squeezed in a weird way. Riley walked 3 times.

Callahan, who has spent a lot of time on the DL for the Tigers in the minors just Homered against the Phillies to make it 5–3 Phils. Phils win. BFD. 

[gehringer_2]

they put up 7 runs today, that's good trend to keep up.

Liranzo really does look slimmed down. Hopefully he can have a big season.

I don’t know, I’m having a little trouble taking seriously an ex-NBA writer who would bat Parker at the top of the order and Colt #9.

I wouldn't take the opinion of any writer seriously for something like this.

By the way, the Thursday afternoon February 26 game of the Tigers @ Orioles will have an Orioles TV broadcast and a Tigers WXYT-1270 radio broadcast. Montero is the starting pitcher.
