IdahoBert Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Holton not finding the strike zone friendly right now. Quote
IdahoBert Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Tork single.. and Max Clark has entered the stadium ladies Quote
Sports_Freak Posted August 1 Posted August 1 So....can Max pitch? I'm not sure what he can do about our bullpen. A desperate GM making a desperate move that's not even addressing this teams biggest problem. But sure, let's see what the kid can do. It's always fun seeing a can't miss prospect make his MLB debut. I wish him well. Quote
NorthWoods Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Just now, IdahoBert said: Max with a career 1.000 OPS! Nice slide into 2nd. Quote

Tigermojo Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Vest out for the year after elbow surgery and I think they said he will get hip surgery too. Quote

I remember spring training and it’s unfair to judge him on the basis of that, but man, I sure don’t want to see a repeat. Well, his hat looks good wearing sunglasses. Either wear them correctly or leave them im the dugout. I always thought that was/is a stupid look. Edited August 1 by Sports_Freak Quote

It does absolutely nothing to help this Tigers team most glaring need, the bullpen. But, like i said, it's exciting seeing a young player starting out his baseball journey. And it does reek of a desperate move by the GM to take pressure off of the team failures. Give fans/media something to talk and focus on after blowing a 7th inning 7 run lead. Quote

holygoat Posted August 1 Posted August 1 What if the purpose of bringing Clark up is to make Javy more available to play in the IF because they're planning on trading Gleyber? 1 Quote

But with the probability that there'll be no baseball for at least a significant portion of 2027, there's some real benefit to keeping Clark in Toledo -- unless you expect to trade Gleyber and thus need to replace Javy's innings in CF.
