[Motor City Sonics]

Jack's not waiting til the 2nd time through the lineup to suck today.        

 

Jack's just helping you realize  you need to go cut the grass.  Why put it off for another hour. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

it's getting contagious. even Dingler let one get by.

[Motor City Sonics]

What the **** happened to this guy?       

[gehringer_2]

so he can't throw the breaking stuff over the plate and he walks guys and gets in trouble. Today he's throwing the breaking balls for strikes and the Jays crush a few.

Can we just DFA Flaherty and continue doing a bullpen day once the next starter comes back.

I like Wenceel, but it’s pretty clear he’s not a major leaguer.  He doesn’t hit enough to justify his awful defense.

Who else can Hinch put out there? Jones? I venture to guess he may be even worse. Any possibilities down on the farm?

Nobody that’s gonna move the needle, but I’d be fine with giving Ben Malgeri a shot until Carp gets back

McKinstry trying to help Torks WAR stay above -1

I said this last game and I’m repeating it because it’s a good line:

 

Schneider looks like the teacher from Stranger Things

Zack could also play out there. Perez has a decent arm but his routes are kinda bad. And his bat has been pretty quiet. Hinch must like his switch hitting though..

I forgot this was the “free game of the day“ because of an extended grasp of Mother’s Day.

Even the local strip club in Boise, Idaho is getting into the extended Mother’s Day routine. On their marquee today the Torch Lounge said “Happy Mother’s Day, supporting single moms since 1997.“ It’s funny and there’s an unhappy irony about it as well.

Ben Malgeri is hitting .300 at Toledo and plays all three outfield positions better than Perez.   He's not a switch-hitter but since Perez can't hit either side, why does that matter.   

[IdahoBert]

I’m not sure why I’m torturing myself watching this game… I think I’ll go back to watching the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, which is something that makes me happy instead of something that makes me sad.

Very true. And Malgeri is also a RH hitter, something we need. I wonder if the Tigers don't think much of him? He is 26 years old, kinda old for a prospect.

There's your 3 runs.  This game is over.    Time to cut the grass

Jack is Doyle Alexander in 1989.  

[Motor City Sonics]

What is Jack's ERA now.........7 ? 

[monkeytargets39]

6.20 ERA

 

Might as well figure out what Zac Reininger is up to and sign him back.

[monkeytargets39]

That was an impressive offensive display we just put on in the 3rd

And you're complaining about Wenceel's hitting?

Pretty sure he’s been bailed out by a few unearned runs this year (that probably would’ve scored either way)

Gage Workman has to have like a .400 fielding percentage
