06/02/2026 6:40p EDT Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays

[IdahoBert]

Well, the Rays have sent some lefties out there and Jones is no better against them tonight than he is against righties.

[VegasTiger]

3 innings on 22 pitches.

Don't rekindle my hope. Bastards

Getting some guys back. They need to get to fewer than 10 games under .500 by June 30. 5 under by end of July. .500 by end of August. 10 over by end of September. Easy peasy, lol

We might be two or so weeks away from Skubal returning too

Who does this guy think he is?  Jake Rogers?

I can live with Short if he’s just used as a defensive replacement.  It bothers me more than Wenceel and Jahmai are still here over Lee.  

We need four outfielders more than we need seven infielders.

[IdahoBert]

I suppose an eight-run lead is enough… 😗

WOOP WOOP!

Imagine getting shut out by Flaherty and De Jesus.  Tampa fans should conclude that their season is over.

Well we have 5 plus McKinstrt right now…. Does Jones count as an outfielder?

[lordstanley]

Shutout win!

Carpenter, Greene, McKinstry and Vierling. The problem is a backup for CF. And too many LH bats. At SS we have McKinstry as the only backup, Short has a spot until Javy gets back.

Tampa has been struggling recently. We may have caught them at a good time.

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

Or...a week to 10 days? I predicted July 1st, I would love to be wrong.

I don't think so? He's played only 20 innings out there this year for a reason. He can't be reliably started out there. And McKinstry is really an infielder.
