Which means he will probably throw a no hitter tonight.

Might as well make a trade.

I know nothing about these minor league players, but from what I've read here, I like the deal...keeping in mind the Tigers renewed focus on both development and utilizing a player's strength. This new catcher is left handed and has a good eye at the plate. If they can develop his receiving skills to be average or above (which they have show they can do with Kelly), then they might have the perfect back up catcher in a couple of years...one who can let Dinger sit against tough right handed pitchers and can be used as a lefty pinch hitter on his off days. That seems like it could be a pretty valuable piece possibly ready in (what I hope to be) our window of contention.

Their mistake is throwing him anything in the zone. There is no need to do so.

Javi might as well hit another home run today.

Might as well score at least one run more than the Twins today.

Might as well try to win this game.

I've got a lot to learn from you Cas! I will step back from your territory and leave it up to you from now on! 😶

Might as well win the opener (right Casimir?)

So...Maeda is available in the bullpen on Saturday and Saturday is a bullpen day. Does he start? 🤔

No way you will be able to get into your garage when you get home. Plan on parking in the street until Heather Nabozny can complete her work.

So much silence here...even on a Skubal day. It feels like this past week has signaled the final expiration of the little bit of hope for this season that had remained for even diehard fans like us.

I am going to miss those feelings of awe and amazement I had at how he could so badly miss a blatantly obvious call and show no doubt or remorse whatsoever while tossing the person rightfully complaining out of the game.

We have technology, not magic.

Agreed. Very enjoyable podcast. So far the only Tigers podcast I can stomach.

Kid just needs to stay off my lawn with those new fangled shoes!

Not only is this offense painful to listen to, but MLB audio is making me listen to the Pirates announcers...don't know why the Tigers feed is silent.

It seems to me that this whole discussion points towards Harris' development of a top notch "pitching lab". The uniqueness of this park should attract good pitchers but not good hitters as much. So he is focusing on the pitching side...develop or fix good pitching, limit opponent's run scoring (especially home runs), and then try to manufacture enough runs to win low scoring games. Add in a good OF defense and it sounds like the right strategy for Comerica Park.

Showing off a bit in front of the owner of the team who will be approving your future very large contract is not a bad idea.

I love it. This seems like smart business to me. Keith is guaranteed +$40 (if my quick numbers are correct) which is awesome for him. If he turns into a star, as the Tigers think he will, the Tigers get a massive discount.
