Good chance Roger is in the park for the debut. Most parents sit in the stands. I’m guessing he won’t be.

I assuming we see Clemens in game 2, Miggie will get the night cap off and Tork to DH

I wonder if the BSD idiot announcers will ask him really stupid questions like they do other parents of players making their debut?

Roger Clemens once threw at A.J. Hinch's head.     So in retaliation A.J. will not put Kody into a single game where Roger is attending.   Take THAT, Roger.

Roger’s handlers won’t let Johnny in the same room with him. 😉

I really don't get why they're batting Rony Garcia 10th.  I mean, pitchers are terrible hitters and that means fewer at bats for the top of your lineup.     Hinch is losing it, man.

Not sure where to put this, but any thread is a good thread for a video of Mark Fidrych taking batting practice.

Putting Fidrych in any thread is alright by me.  Loved that guy.  None of it was an act.

Watching the Elvin Rodriguez highlights from a couple of days ago, he reminded me of Fidrych.

I think the t-shirt should be "Dominican Fidrych"

at least we still get to use a DH. I remember the days when it was either a DH or a pitcher batting.

[romad1]

I do not love starting the day behind. 

[Sports_Freak]

The Tigers AAA starting pitchers today have them set up to get swept.

[romad1]

I like how efficient our ABs were in the bottom of the 1st

[Tigermojo]

Dan and Jim talking about the Tigers have 12 players on the injured list and the Twins have 13. Almost a roster worth of players.

Can someone translate this Henning tweet? I don't get it. If he's not healed, why is he playing at Toledo? And hasn't it been 8 weeks already?

 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Javy needed a double-earflap helmet there. ouch.

[romad1]

This guy ain't missing the strike zone.  

[romad1]

I like Tork hitting doubles.  Its very good. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

I'm ready for Tork to bat cleanup until Javy gets his crap together. maybe even beyond.

Lynn's mind is going bye-bye. That's not how it works. A guy has to be cleared 100% physically before he goes back on the field whether at Lakeland, Toledo, or Det.  He's not going to spend a month at Toledo getting his hitting eye back, and playing at Toledo vs Detroit has zero to do with his navicular bone's condition, it's either ready for play or it isn't and if he's playing pro  baseball in Toledo there is no less stress on it there than there will be in Det. so in the opinion of the real doctors it's sufficiently healed to play, which means play anywhere. (barring some setback of course - remember this is the 2022 Tigers we're talking about.)

So the translation is.....Lynn had one of his bad days.
