He should have been pulled at this point. We have seen guys pulled for less. Looking bad on staff now.

I don't meant to spit on anyone's Cherrios, but isn't this how it started for Koufax?

Go get Soriano

I have to admit my enthusiasm for this season has waned considerably. That’s just a fact. 

Not mine.   It's more interesting to me.   To see how they can remain in contention while working through the adversity.

That's kind of where I am by default.  I liked it better when Skubal was healthy though!

It's been a necessity both times.

I have been assured repeatedly that Harris Hinch prefers pitching chaos, as well as a roster of nothing but utility players, because they think it highlights their contrarian genius or something

Hey, I’m still here and all that. As Elvis Costello sang:

♬ Allison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Allison, my aim is true… ♬

if Melton is back quick and is good, and Flaherty straightens out, they *might* stay in it, but this is pretty much turning out to be a season from HeII

Is this the DEA boss in the 3rd season of Narcos telling his underlings that they actionable information and a reliable Columbia police strike team to work with?

Mr. Burns: Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

Don't know...but there's been  a lot of advancements made in the field of medicine since 1966

I am confident the Tigers will survive and Skubal will return, but because of this he will only be able to go 5 innings in the deciding game of a playoff series, not 6. 

[Motor City Sonics]

You know what.   He only plays every 5th day.  If they let this totally derail them, then they don't deserve to make it. 

 

On the other thand when it's Skubal........and.....Mize......and....Olson.....and......Melton........well, then it's concerning

 

Let's just be thankful to be in a division where 82-85 probably wins it this year.

[IdahoBert]

I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of a baseball club don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

Uh sir, your third baseman has been dead for 120 years….

[Tigermojo]

Absolutely crushing Boston would help me feel better about Skubal. 

[IdahoBert]

Oh wow, they’re wearing the MotorCity  jerseys too, so don’t get your panties in a wad people. 

[IdahoBert]

So they cut Daniella off in mid-sentence for an ad that’s weird.

My post was not in anyway a criticism of how Harris and Hinch manage the roster.  I am 100% sure that Harris and Hinch are not happy that all the injuries are forcing chaos.  

[IdahoBert]

Playing shortstop today we have both Short and Story.

Zach Short did not have an impressive 1st inning.

She was being...insolent?  She needed correction?
