Meadows, Baddoo and Grossman are all left fielders. Meadows should probably DH. This is what we have to start the season. Hopefully Greene is better and good enough for center or right field.

Game of inches.

Pew pew

Come on Soto! Mow 'em down like Heather Nabozny!

Come on Tork, base hit would be great

Schoop ground rule double and Miggy looks disappointed, he wanted to score from first again.

9!

OH MY!

Great job by Manning and the defense. Now we need some runs! Can we start the Miggy countdown now? 10 more to go.

Must win!

Gibby was talking about that yesterday. He thought it was good for the young players to get an early start this year but the more established guys probably don't need more than 25 games or so.

Baddoo!

Miggy sees him. Just missed a HR on his first AB then a loud HR on his second AB. I don't think Miggy is ready to hand over the DH spot yet.

Wow Miggy to left center field

Miggy with a long single that bounced at the base of the RF wall.

Looks like a win for the Tigers. Hopefully it works out well for both parties. Meadows did some DH duty, does Miggy hand over his batting gloves? It was a good offseason. They look pretty well set up for the next two or three years+.

I was just teasing Jason Beck. You didn't have to change the headline.

The new Joe is ready to go!

Time to get the uniforms dirty.

Tork bomb after fouling off 7 pitches.

From the official site: OF Riley Greene (fractured right foot) Expected return: TBD Greene suffered a non-displaced fracture when he fouled off a Gerrit Cole pitch Friday. He legged out a triple on the next pitch and eventually scored, but limped back to the clubhouse at the end of the inning. The fracture won’t require surgery, manager A.J. Hinch said, but he’ll be re-evaluated in a few weeks to get a better idea of how long he’ll be out. -- Jason Beck (Last updated: April 2)

Verlander had 2.8 war and Zumaya 2.0 in 2006. No pressure youngsters.

3-0 Tigers

Wow School drives one that eats the shortstop alive to score Candy.

Candy beats the shift. Ball barely trickles passed third and he ends up with a double.
