Now my body hurts

my head hurts

Better keep the cash flow positive Chris I

We find ourselves starting this series 6 games behind the Twins and with the worst record in the American League. I hear on the radio and read in the papers, repeatedly, about the brutal stretch of games coming up after hearing and reading about the tough April schedule and cold weather. Are they bracing us for something with the advance excuse machine fast at work ? The Al and Illitch disinformation propaganda push? Or journalists kissing butt? Tired of both. Time to start winning gentleman. I don't want to see us still in last place, Issac Paredes hitting .364, our third saker throwing games away, Meadows without any homers (yes he has been good but...), five starters hitting below .200. no power etc. Time for some key hits. Quit waiting to win games due to the other teams errors. Take 3 or 4 and get the heck going !!!!

We still don't and wouldn't you make that trade ? 🙂 But seriously I am just joking since nobody could have imagined these two old guys would still be so good in 2022.

Maybe our rebuild should have included signing Verlander and Scherzer to 8 year contracts. I mean even today who's better ?

Lucky we got a split. Woeful offense.

Meadows first HR coming now ?

especially to left-hand hitters it seems

Lange seems better suited to start innings rather than enter with men on. Hinch got the strike outs but not before the triple.

A lost season of development is brutal..

That Baez guy is pretty good !

Keep piling on...it's working !

Haase survived because we need a back up catcher for some games and we are starved for power. Clemens is a utility player that can't play shortstop or centerfield so thats not very valuable. The Castros survive because we don't have anyone better and Kreidler injury also helped them.

Yes without navigation I would still be circling around for sure. Maybe a night game when you could drive to the lights would be ok 😊

Yes it’s a bottleneck in and out which is why so many arrive late and leave early. Dumb me had to open the doors but it’s nice to see the Tigers live every year even though they rarely win in Anaheim or LA. The park is strange in that it’s in a hole on a hill but it has a very 1960 feel about it which I Really liked. Still miss Tiger Stadium though.

Yes it I sat in the oven watching more sloppy baseball. First inning Erod decides not to even attempt to cover first and then Candy bobbles a sure inning ending double play pall and then throws way way wide of first so instead of inning over another two runs come in and all the LA fans are yelling "thanks so much " "free runs" etc... And of course my daughter is melting so we leave after the seventh down 6 - 0 and watching Miggy strike out three times only to have him homer in the 8th...😂 And Grossman's HBP seemed very bad. You could hear it. It seemed like they just didn't really want to play after coming close in the first and second inning. The vibe is bad. At least I can add Dodger stadium to my check list. Hard to believe I have lived out here since 1997 and never got there sooner.

Once Miggy gets 600 doubles I think he will sit more often allowing more player rotation.

Nice !!!

Blacked out here and don't have the Dodger over priced cable package but Dan sounds excellent !!! Keep bringing the good news !

We're in the lead ?...gotta head out to 7-11 for a lottery ticket...

Hinch is a real good manager and we are lucky to have him. He is not the problem and hopefully will find the solution soon. But heck yes it’s fricken frustrating. Tomorrow I will travel two hours to Chavez Ravine and do my part !! I will be loud and hope we win and then hope not to assaulted going home. So I am risking bodily injury so DO SOMETHING Hinch !!

Not at all and I don’t think I suggested that in my post at least not intentionally. My meaning is Candy should start and play but not be extended contractually for big money. As for Kriedler I see him as our future second baseman. I think his bat is good enough for second but maybe not for third.

Well we will find out if Brieske is MLB ready tonight for sure. Big test against the blue.

My prediction of Kriedler being a starter by season’s end has gone up in flames. I don’t think he will play another game this year. I am reading it’s a very bad break. Worst case is the description. And it’s his right hand. After being Tiger player of the year for two straight seasons Candelerio has disappeared. At least we didn’t extend him first. Still need a third baseman it seems that the expectations of contention has been to heavy a burden for many players. Maybe it’s easier playing for a losing team. Less pressure.
