Side question... if when there's a lock out for much or all of 2027, will the minor leagues still play? 

Any ones not on a 40-man could still play

Agree, mixed bag.  Some hits.  Some misses.  We thought the minors was going in the right direction.  I don’t know, is it?

How much of the pitching lack of health fall on Harris’ responsibility?

I can't really answer that...probably not much.

Doesn’t feel like we’ve really developed any pitching under Harris though.  The entire minor leagues are just littered with no-upside pitchers at every level and it spills onto the 40-man roster when we end up with inevitable injuries.

pitching development has been a problem.

It’s not a direct impact, but it does roll up under his umbrella.  I don’t know, I could be wrong, but it seems like the Tigers have a high rate of pitching injury.

Tigers won the first two road games of the year..are 5-19 since. They been swept by Arizona, Minnesota, and now New  York(0-10).

I didn’t even check the schedule and thought this was a night game so I missed the whole thing.

I got up early and watched the Giro d'Italia on HBO and ate a good breakfast. Went for a 2 mile walk at the Idaho Botanical Garden and came home blissfully unaware this game was occurring.

Then did some shopping, ate a late light lunch, then some ice cream, and I’m glad I missed all this.

Now I’m re-watching Pluribus - my favorite parts - for the umpteenth time. I could get used to this.

By the way, good for Gage Workman!

at the rate they are giving up runs, the offense hardly even matters. They might as well get over all their slumping before the pitching (hopefully) becomes competitive again.

I’ve been in Taiwan and Japan the last week and I believe the Tigers have gone 1 for Asia while I’ve been here. But one pleasure has been the all-night indoor batting cage a 5 minute walk from our Shinjuku hotel. $3 for 25 balls. Baseball not fastball or softball, unlike the cages near me back home. It is humbling to see how stiff my swing looks on video though.

When in the hell is someone going to start the 2027 MLB Draft thread?

I’m all for an “Oops All Pitchers!” draft right now

All the Pistons have to do is lose tomorrow in Cleveland to make my entire sports world crap - with the exception of men’s UCI cycling where I don’t really care who wins unless it’s Wout van Aert or Matteo Jorgensen.
