McGonigle is getting the day off.

Perhaps Torres comes in hot and fetches a mid tier prospect. I still cannot believe that this is my mindset with the Tigers on June 2

If we go 22-6 for June we should be right as rain.

There’s no reason to treat him like he’s Cal Ripken or something. 

[romad1]

if we do go 22-6 in June I'd start thinking someone was making money on the games besides the participants.

Trying to “stir the pot“ and get people excited the mlb.com app on my phone just told me that the trade deadline is “fast approaching!“ It’s on August 3. At least that’s what a robot told me. Over two months away.

You can’t even fool a child into getting excited by telling them that Christmas is fast approaching“ when it’s Halloween. But apparently we baseball fans are dumber than a stump, and not as smart as small children.

To be fair, CVS has decorations up by Halloween

LOL - so first take I thought this was Harold Castro - but the glove and body was wrong. Let the browser Ai search and it did the player the ultimate indignity by identifying the glove and giving me its marketing info while completely ignoring any ID of the player. So switch browser AIs and Chrome google lens ID'd the player as Jose Valverde (from the crouch maybe?) - sorry no way Jose. Finally third try it came up with Benoit, but still highlighted the TPX glove as the point of interest. 🎓🎓

Hao-Yu Lee was optioned not Zach Short.

Sad news for Taiwan, but probably good news for Tigers fans.

16 years today. I still don't let Jim Joyce off the hook. I can overlook a blown call. And nice that he at least apologized and owned it up. But the mistake happened because he thought the moment was about him.

4D chess to sit our best player after we start a 1 game winning streak.

Short should only ever be used in late innings as a defensive replacement. No starts, no total lineup black hole. But yes, they need a capable backup shortstop. McKinstry can play there but I would say it's his weakest position. Put him in RF and bench Perez.

So Jones is a better hitter against LH pitchers then Carpenter. And Short is a better hitter against LH pitchers than Keith is. With Perez, Short, and Jones in the starting lineup, the Tigers will be shutout. Pathetic, lazy managing. Forget platooning, it isn't working...put your best hitters in the starting lineup. This is one of the reasons we're 15 games under .500.
