I think the Jimenez/Malloy trade made sense at the time. Jimenez finally had a good season at apthe age of 27. That was the time to flip him. Malloy’s defense simply hasn’t materialized at all. I contend we don’t enough about what happened behind the scenes with the Rodriguez trade to know who botched it or how it was botched. He’d had the long term absence with little contact to the Tiger front office the season before. Then he nixes the trade because he doesn’t want to play out west. Then he signs with Arizona. Doesn’t sound like a, oh, how shall we say it, stable personality to engage with.

Seems like they normally have a west coast trip in the first 10 games. What’s up with this schedule?

4 team divisions suck. I don’t mind interleaguing with Pittsburgh. I’m still not convinced Las Vegas happens.

I’ll be honest, I’d’of never guessed they were close to 11-6 in the last few weeks.

Make sure your wear a Tiger hat so we know who you are.

5 innings, allowed 1 hit, and gave 6 chairs. Not bad.

Tigers padlock White Sox, 2-1.

Ah, OK. I knew there was a cap of 13 pitchers when the rosters are at 26. But I never gave it a thought about after roster expansion.

Hey, I know that tunnel! We had a stay along Willoughby Beach a few years ago.

Avert your eyes @Sports_Freak. Avert your eyes!

That’s a game I haven’t heard of in a long time.

Wouldn’t that be a great response by him after he’s asked about hitting a home run? Reporter: “Kerry, can you tell us about your home run?” Carpenter: “First all glory to God. But, yeah, I was just looking for a good pitch to swing at and I wanted to do some Carp **** to it.”

Casey Bonderman wiggles out of trouble.

Win this series. Hit the road. Win the road swing. I think that’s a good game plan.

I hope the original poster of this thread is still proud of his decision.

Cody Stavenhagen seemed to assume as much on his Friday pod. Once rosters expand, he alluded to the fact that Lee had as good of a chance as anyone else to grab one of those spots. I don’t know. Maybe he’ll have earned it on the field by then. But that might not be the Tigers’ need at that point. I’m not saying Stavenhagen is wrong. But with the failures of the bullpen and the number of arms brought in, that might mean those spots are taken by relievers to figure out via September audition who makes a playoff roster.

So you’re not going to answer who you’d have rather had enter the game. And you’re going to blame Hinch but not blame Hinch for the move that was made. Got it.

If the Tigers had access to both Kelly and Bednar without giving up top 100 prospects, then it’s a shame it didn’t get done. But who knows what the actual discussions were.

Sure seems like you were complaining about Hinch in the original post. Or maybe you misquoted your thoughts, I don’t know.

How about kicking some Cherub ass today, eh?

Ugh. Winning streak ends at 1 game.

Not going to argue that. But who did you want Hinch to bring into the game earlier?

Indeed. Carpenter can take some of that pain away now. Please. And thank you.

Who would you rather put in there? The Tigers need innings today. They need to see if Montero is salvageable. They need to manage rest for the other relievers. Plus he was up and throwing last inning.

Yeah, such an odd looking line. 7 hits and a walk in there, too.
