Good to see the Twinkies settling into their last place spot. Hopefully, they'll stay there all summer.

Besides Zack Short, another old friend is back for tonight's game—an old friend named Pitching Chaos.

A nationally-televised Tyler Holton start.

I hope mom had tickets to yesterday's game.

I didn’t realize Zack was a Tiger again. Holy heck he’s batting .500 at Toledo! With four bats…

[GalagaGuy]

Is Workman getting passed over simply because he's a LH bat?

Hinch likes to play the hot hand. Short is batting .500! <ducks>

[Sports_Freak]

It would be beneficial if the Tigers could score 9 runs tonight.

I suspect it's because Short plays superior defense around the infield.  

[Tiger337]

Grant Holman designated for assignment. 

[monkeytargets39]

Makes me think that Torres is actually injured bad enough to get on the DL and they will use McGonigle at 2B when McKinstry is back and Short will back him up—-and then platoon Keith and Lee at 3B

IIRC, when they drafted him Workman was rated a plus defender, but maybe he never lived up to that.

IDK - FWIW, press reports today were still that Torres was day to day.

Oh look- gambling odds for tonight’s game.  Sure haven’t missed that lately.

 

Betting on baseball outcomes is the dumbest use of money I can think of outside of things our government does.

I’m not sure if that was Daniella’s voice or not.

Jason, Peaches and a Texas announcer tonight. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

wow, short "start" for Holton.

[Tigermojo]

Chaos in the first.

[IdahoBert]

Hanifee after only two outs.
