Still not sold on the name Ryan Kreidler.  It sounds like the grad student who graded your Chemistry lab.

It reminds me of the face boss Norm made up on Cheers so it made it sound like he wasn't actually doing the firing, but letting people know as the nice guy.   I think it was Kreitzer.     Then the company owner told Norm that Kreitzer wanted to meet him.  So Norm had to fire himself.

So I would guess that with the call ups of Carpenter, Baddoo and now Kreidler, that Daz Cameron's time in the Tiger organization is over.    

That would mean that for Verlander the Tigers have a catcher who is still recovering from Tommy John, A pitcher who, in 5 seasons, has thrown 52 innings and has an ERA north of 7.70 and this year walked 29 hitters in 25 1/3 innings and an outfielder,   who has hit .236 in AAA and .201 in limited time in the majors in a situation where he could have been given every opportunity to stick.................You know, this team needs to re-hire Al Avila, so they can fire him again.

This is it, this is the big one. The Tigers need to win this one. Then they need to win out. If they win out they will be 81 and 81. A win here and winning out could make it the kind of season that most of us hoped for.  I just finished my Kool-Aid and I’m looking forward to this.

Moving great pitchers almost never works to a team's benefit. The Tigers dismantling of the Verlander/Scherzer duo will go down in history with the idiocy of the 70's Mets letting Seaver, Koosman, Ryan all get away.

Kreidler gets right into the game, catching a popup on the first pitch. and Javy makes an excellent snag of a liner.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

man, Haase must have really taken a shot there. 🤢

[Edman85]

How's the Tigers Season going, you may ask.

It's going "Eddie is watching Big Ten Volleyball instead" well.

I'm taking a shot for this crap lol!

 

 

[chasfh]

Man, what a laser by Willi. I did not imagine that liner going out. 

[TJ Rollercoaster]

Back to back walks, a balk, followed by a sac fly - I think that's called "manufacturing a run"

[sabretooth]

Baez does something!

[sabretooth]

Nice to see Kriedler getting it done on both sides in his debut

[RandyMarsh]

The Kreidler effect.

[chasfh]

I like being evenly matched with an opponent. Makes for a more interesting game.

He's got a good face though, an infielder's face.  He's got a Travis  Fryman vibe.

Yeah, I saw that, too. He looks a little more weathered than 24.

Since he is coming off a broken hand I will give him a pass for wearing the oven mitt on the basepaths which normally takes away from your grit and toughness.
