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.

Scoring is fun. You get a homer and you get a homer and you get a homer....

Boom stick Marisnick

Tork bomb!

Eight doesn't feel like enough.

That error probably cost Manning a chance to start the sixth.

They might get back Erod, Skubal, Greene and Baddoo next week. That's huge if they are all healthy.

WTF Nevin

Riley Greene will play in Columbus tomorrow!

Who knew the answer to all their problems was they just needed to hit against Tiger pitching.

That's the second one of the day. Maybe they told him don't get hurt crashing into the wall again? Baddoo will be back soon so then Vierling will be in right field.

Tigers are top five in home runs since June 11.

Jake you beast!

KC!

What a catch by Marisnick!

32 pitches for Manning in the first. Jake just missed a homer.

4 runs is their most in the first inning this season. Nice to have the early lead but it's never safe in the thin air.
