Don't blow it Wentz... The pressure is on...!

I say give Skubal a half day off...

I am officially amazed by Kerry Carpenter...

All Cylinders.

+1

PS: Even the Tigers have a travel day today... They don't host the Mariner series until tomorrow...

You mean tomorrow night... Today is Monday.

The stock is worthless so I'm wondering when everyone realizes that and it drops to below $1. I would wager: On November 6th, 2024.

$ 22.84 on April 16th...

Does not disqualify him from being a bandaid utility guy or even a platoon option bandaid. His one advantage is he's a switch-hitter. If his fielding is top notch... then he's no worse than McKinstry... right?

I was just going to say... Gage Workman is waving his hands back and forth (going 3-6 today at Erie with 3 HR's...) saying: "Hey! Look at me!!! Gimme a chance!!!" Trei Cruz also goes 2-4 with 2 doubles, a BB and a SF...

And then he went out and wrote a song called "Silly Love Songs"... Which is actually pretty good... If you have a SO curled up in one's arms...

I am perfectly fine with going with bandaids for a year or two. Jettison Baez: yes. Try Sweeney there (as early as this year but 2025 is also OK), and Workman and Trei Cruz (platoon or utility with Sweeney, starting also in 2025... one of them has GOT to be better than McKinstry, right? ... right?). Just to see if anything sticks. Does Kreidler get one more try as a starter? Or there's nothing left to see there...?

Schadenfreude.

RFK! RFK! HE's your man (to all Trump's White Trash Bigoted followers...): VOTE RFK!!!

So he's good in low leverage situations and that's it...

Isaiah Williams is looking good today...

Nice catch by DPJ.

Agreed. Let him start the next preseason game...

He's been in the game today: 3 targets, no catches (the couple passes I noticed his way from Sudfeld were WAY off & he had no chance...)

Speaking of which... Who's going to grab the #3 WR spot for the Lions this year? Hard to tell anything today with the (mostly) spotty QB passing so far...

And... He'll get better.

On Torrence... Lions want heavy movement from their Guards... Torrence may not have fit there. I don't know TBH... But... Rankings mean squat... it's fit that's key. DJ Turner? Meh... Now, Rashee Rice... would have looked really good as our current #3 WR... But I can live with Hooker. No doubt in my mind.

Hooker looks fine enough IMO... He'll get better... Although that was a pretty crappy overthrow...
