Cleveland Guardians (58-52) at Detroit Tigers (43-69)

[romad1]

Carpenter will hit some bombs when he settles down.  might take a year

[Jim Cowan]

There's Willie, my all time fave.

[casimir]

Cabrera out again today?  Waste of a roster space at this point.  Is Al asleep at the wheel still?

Do rosters still go to 40 in Sept?  I recall there were some proposals about that as part of the CBA

I just read an article on the official site and AJ said it's 28.

"He’s (Rogers) getting closer to a rehab assignment sometime in August, according to manager A.J. Hinch, and will likely be a candidate for return as a third catcher once rosters expand to 28 players in September. "

[RandyMarsh]

Cy Plesac K's the side in order on 14 pitches. Another hot start for the boys.

Why does it matter?  Like at all, at this point?

[Tigerbomb13]

Business as usual. And Coolbaugh still has a job. 

[Tigerbomb13]

It’s August 11th and Tucker Barnhart has six extra base hits(all doubles) and a .484 OPS. How has he not been DFA’d?

[RatkoVarda]

Willi Castro is not an infielder.

Also, here is Willi making an error at 3b.

Why is this guy getting dozens of chances? Cannot someone else get a chance to fail?

 

[mtutiger]

Is it me, or does it seem like the majority of runs that the Tigers have surrendered in the past three weeks have been unearned?

Why not put him on the IL if he isn’t healthy and then use that roster spot for an actual able bodied baseball player?  That seems somewhat logical for a baseball team, does it not?  (Disclaimer— The definition of baseball player is subjective with this organization.)

It’s got to be a percentage that is well worse than normal.

[Tigermojo]

Baez hit a home run yay

[Tigermojo]

Ump calls strike three on Haase. Curveball about 4 inches above the strike zone.

I have not been listening, but watching the games...is he injured?  If so sure.

The team blows, all the players are playing well below what they should be playing at...all the kids who deserved a shot got one, Miggy is still Miggy.

[Dtrain72]

Any GM worth his salt wont want the job simply because of league leading error Jarvy and his shit-tastic contract that he 110% wont opt out of after next year.

I wonder if increasing use of the curve might one consequence of a move to an electronic strike zone. A lot of umpires have trouble calling the curve at both the top and bottom of the zone. It has to be frustrating to pitchers to make good pitches and not get the call and it's a pretty regular occurrence with curve balls.

[Toddwert]

is Cleveland just giving us this game ?

[Tigerbomb13]

Carpenter has been completely overmatched so far. 

[raind]

That last swing didn't look good!

 

[Tigerbomb13]

The excitement in the air here is palpable!
