Might as well.

Has anyone suggested Jones out and Malgeri up yet?

The Tigers would'of clinched the top seed by now if people would listen to me, but nooooooo....., people think I'm just some moran banging nonsense into a keyboard.

10.980. Close enough.

I wonder what Manuel Margot is up to these days.

I can’t wait until would’of, could’of, should’of makes it big time.

Got an 11 mile bike ride in. My shirt was half drenched by the end from sweat. No rain. Jumped in the shower, got out, and now it’s pouring on there. Good timing, I guess.

I agree. If anyone has watched the rain delay questions segment, Petry is at the end of the phot introductions and is the only one with a nickname tagged to him. I think he has a role among the group as the comic foil, or something along those lines.

That’s a level of intelligence that some people are incapable of understanding.

I don’t mind the Jansen signing as much. The SO% has been better than last season, but the BB% has risen by too much. He might not have been the best solution for the end of the bullpen, but I can see the madness behind the method to signing him. In a more macro sense, I do wonder if Harris & Co are less worried about swing and miss stuff than others are. The problem is the defense isn’t as lock tight as would be needed behind a put it in play pitcher. How much of that is worse without Baez and Meadows is a reasonable question.

I wouldn’t say the Tigers are necessarily streaky by nature. I think that’s just how things have played out. I think in most normal seasons, 22-38 buries a team further than the Tigers buried themselves in terms of games behind. They found themselves at the bottom of the league, which is still a tough hole to climb out of. But whether or not the rest of the league is truly subpar or whether or not other teams have had similar misfortunes as the Tigers, that’s kind of irrelevant with the opportunity that the Tigers have in front of them. 5 1/2 games behind is one thing. Climbing over 7 teams is another. But, as you all remember, the early season schedule was against a lot of National League teams. The Tigers still have enough American League teams left to play against. So maybe that 7 teams is a bit less difficult to achieve if the Tigers can take care of business. Maybe there isn’t as much scoreboard watching as there is simply taking advantage of winning against the opposition on the field (who very well could be 1 of those 7 teams).
