Tigermojo

During the game they said it was an ingrown fingernail.

With all the failed experiments at third, Kreidler's defense would have helped stabilize the position but I'm not sure if he's healthy yet. He looked really good there last year and had value defensively at least.

Some of these guys aren't question marks anymore. The answer is no.

Sixth shut out

Toledo trio lead off the ninth.

Then 2/3 of the lineup would suck.

Now we're stuck with Nevin in the outfield.

Impressive debut for Olson.

Clevinger out after only 73 pitches. Must be tired from all his dancing.

Olson gets out of it. 80 pitches through five.

Miggy 400 foot single lol

Olson pitching REALLY well.

Walk Tork to get to Maton works like a charm...

Baez triple but two outs already.

Olson 96/97 fastball, 87 slider and 89 change up. Good first inning.

The play I referenced was the pitcher fielding the ball and throwing behind the runner to first. I don't know the whole rule but that makes sense.

Yes he was. Very similar play happened in a Tiger game recently and the home plate umpire called the runner out.

Sorry for the bottom half of the order Olson.

New mock draft from Callis on MLB is basically the same from a month ago but I thought these rumors were interesting: "There's chatter that the Pirates are leaning toward cutting a discount deal with the top pick as they did two years ago, that the Tigers want college bats and would pass on Skenes and the prep outfielders at No. 3 and that the Twins don't want a high schooler at No. 5." https://www.mlb.com/tigers/news/2023-mlb-mock-draft-first-round-june-1?t=mlb-draft-coverage Crews a possibility for the Tigers? I'm sure they'll be happy to settle for Langford who's OPS is even higher than Crews now.

Being surrounded by thirty thousand people probably doesn't help either plus all the cameras. I don't even like going to the mall.

No update on Riley yet. Has to get scans done on lower left leg.
