Might need to flip a coin at some point with this double ineptitude offensively.

.582 OPS entering Schoop territory....

Come on Tork get the job done

Makes sense until Skubal gets stretched out a bit.

Spin that slider kiddo!

Score runs dumb dumbs!

Keith got out twice. He didn't hit a five run homer tonight.

Hinch stacks the lineup with righties. Just one problem Baez isn't hitting, Schoop isn't hitting, Haase isn't hitting, Short isn't hitting....

It's tough facing all-star, Cy Young, MVP J.P. Sears

Move your foot ahole

Radio listeners: Skubal just scared us all to death by favoring his leg. He seems ok though. Heart attack averted.

For those listening to the radio: Oakland can't score runs Detroit can't score runs

That's good news.

CMO was talking about Rogers squaring up pitches much better this year than last year. I agree, especially since Rogers didn't play last year.

No Greene in Toledo. Not sure if that means anything. Baddoo at DH.

Mowing down everyone so far.

We went from hmm maybe Shreve might have to get cut to Alexander out real quick.

That sucks. Shoulder injury, instant 60 day. He won't be back this year.

C - Rogers 1B - Tork 2B - Ibanez SS - Baez 3B - McKinstry LF - Baddoo CF - Greene RF - Vierling DH - Carpenter Haase back up catcher. Some LF Cabrera DH against lefties Schoop back up infielder Short back up infielder Marisnick odd man out In the offseason, try to improve at second, third and corner outfield so the bench ends up being Haase, McKinstry, Baddoo and maybe Ibanez. Keith and Malloy might be those guys or someone outside the organization.

I was thinking Schoop but Marisnick and Schoop are both older defensive players who can't hit so we want both replaced eventually.

They could keep Marisnick by letting Vierling play the infield but why keep a 32 year old who's best 2 war season is far behind him? I love the defense but this team really needs more offense.

Baddoo LF and Greene DH bat one and two in Toledo's lineup tonight.

Rogers asks Verlander who?

I was looking at those stats yesterday. I think it's because he doesn't have enough at bats to qualify. He's been starting most games recently and they should continue to see if he can handle a starting role.

I don't think they would let any pitchers go besides Calvo and maybe Shreve. I think it will come down to who has options so Olson and White probably get sent back to Toledo. Position players I wouldn't miss are Nevin, Schoop, Solak, Cabrera (highly unlikely) and Marisnick once Greene is back.
