If the plan against Nola was to strike out, Hinch is a genius.

Hinch said they would have to play clean to win and McKinstry blunders right on cue.

That's more obscure than a Benetti pop culture reference. I had to look that up but I've never been to New Orleans.

Hinch says they have a game plan against Nola so we'll see how that works out.

There are two players in Tiger history who have as many four hit games as Colt Keith before the age of 23. Their names are Ty Cobb and Al Kaline.

Dingler 3 for 3 with two homers, a single and a sac fly. 7 RBIs. It's the 4th inning.

Haha sux

I reserve the right to be grumpy.

It's like crawling through the desert, no runs. Drinking our own urine for a run. Today we arrive at an oasis. Drinking our fill of runs. Reese Olson jumps naked into the water because he has been the most run deprived. Tonight we sleep, satiated. Tomorrow we wake and realize we are still in the middle of the desert and the Phillies are on the horizon.

This is fun.

Cannon has been terrible against lefties and Keith and Baddoo capitalized.

Baddoooooo

He's had a few good stretches. It would be great if he gets more consistent.

COLT BOMB!

Incredible play by Urshela. Check the replay if you missed it.

I'm very disappointed. Nobody has photoshopped a hat and a blow up doll yet.

There's very few first year players who are hitting well. The rookies who are hitting had at least a cup of coffee last year. This year has been an odd one for many hitters, even established guys. Seems like the pitchers have gained some advantages in exploiting certain weaknesses. The solution might have to come from hitting coaches analyzing the new bat path data. The pitchers have gained an advantage from being able to craft better pitches in the "lab".

Willi's BABIP in 2020 was over 400. The next two years it dropped below 300. Then the next two years with the Twins it's been well over 300.

Kelly bomb!

Other than the few free agents, Rogers is under control for three more years. Everyone else is 4+ years. I can see Greene, Carpenter, Keith, Vierling, Perez, Ibanez contributing. Some as bench players. Maybe Tork, Meadows and Jung can hit ML pitching by then. Plenty of room to add a few solid bats to the mix.

Sure but why would they do that? Cowser has been as valuable as Greene so far this year.

I wouldn't trade Greene because he's still here four more years. I would be ok with trading Skubal before his arm falls off.

Sox up next. Hopefully the Tigers do prove they are better this weekend, but I'm concerned.
