Is Charlie Morton available too?

I love it so much when billionaires tell poor people how they should feel about money.

Short stay.

Yes, every case is different and it's impossible for us to make a timeline. I am just always pessimistic about pitching injuries. If something can go wrong, it will.

A pitcher trying to bulldog his way back from an elbow injury asking for big trouble. Curt Schilling? Maybe, Skubal can put ketchup on his sock when he gets back. 😀

Break it down any more than two outs with RISP and the sample size gets really small. Thirty years of baseball social media have shown me that fans almost always feel like their team doesn't hit in the clutch. I think it's because hitters fail more often than not in any situation, and fans remember the high leverage failures more vividly.

The Tigers are batting .318 with an .889 OPS with two outs and runners in scoring position.

Apparently, Ricky Vanasco does not understand how pitching chaos works.

Just high leverage situations?

My post was not in anyway a criticism of how Harris and Hinch manage the roster. I am 100% sure that Harris and Hinch are not happy that all the injuries are forcing chaos.

That's kind of where I am by default. I liked it better when Skubal was healthy though!

Right, there was/is no choice. That doesn't mean it's going to work as well this time. The fact that all those guys are hurt is why it's less likely won't work this time.

Might be the best time for the Tigers to make an offer!

Pitchers are always a risk, but they absolutely made the right move. Once they signed Valdez, there was no question keeping Skubal was the right thing to do.

As soon as I saw "precautionary", I suspected there was trouble. There are no minor pitching injuries. They are back to pitching chaos again. It worked the first time and it was fun. Not so much fun now.

"Oh- someone shot the President? What color was the guy who shot him?"

Brogna had a couple of decent years with the Mets in 94-95, but was below replacement level after that.

Brogna was traded for Alan Zinter. I remember having an argument on the AOL board with one of the dumbest baseball fans on the internet. He said that Tony Clark was going to be another Alan Zinter. I told him that Zinter was never a good prospect and was nothing like Clark. He got really upset telling me I knew nothing about baseball and to get my head out of the spreadsheets. He assured me that Zinter was a stud prospect who flamed out. The same guy once told me that Brookens was a good hitter because he was clutch. That pretty much summed up my early days on social media. This guy was a high school teacher from Ohio. 😀

Sparky Anderson after Brogna was traded:"He's got a chance to be a good one some day, but I didn't want to wait to find out".

And the Rays have been lucky with a run differential just +7. The Tigers are +18.

You can always find a stupid person to buy something.

Well, Short better be a superior defender because he has no bat!

Grant Holman designated for assignment.

I suspect it's because Short plays superior defense around the infield.
