You know, this team is starting to remind me of the 1968 Tigers with all of their come from behind wins.

Between "Buzz" Oyler (AKA TORK!) and the marvelous batting instructor, Javy Baez, I'm bored. I think I will go watch something exciting, like watching white paint dry on a wall.

5-1. In the third on a ground ball barrage , most of them up the middle.

Keller played Tork like a fiddle. Can't anyone on this team stay disciplined enough to at least advance the runner.

With a solid team approach at the plate, 2 runs doesn't make an insurmountable lead.

Absolutely!!

Such much for a lead

Will Olson's first walk hurt him?

A run in the first inning. Keith gets a hit.

Wow! Stolen base!

How about that!! A walk by Medows.

I predict a Pirates win. The Tigers had a lot of problems with Keller in the past IIRC.

After watching Sunday's game, my question is, have they made Javy Baez the hitting instructor? The general overall hitting approach was not FCL league standards. Absolutely disgusting. I think with TORK!, we have seen the second coming of Rob Deer. Spencer Deer, ugh. Here's hoping he doesn't become Spencer Oyler.

So far, this team has been fun to watch. My biggest take away so far has been that the pitching has been superb. As for the start, we have a light schedule in March and April. It must be noted that it's early.

I thought at of the beginning of the season we could sweep the White Sox, the Mets, and the A's to start the year, and still finish the year with 84 wins. It is a long season, but it is nice to see after the last multiple dismal starts.

OOPS!!! I meant Baltimore and Atlanta, What a senior moment!!!

Matt Manning returns to Detroit by June 15, as Kenta Maeda goes down. Parker Meadows has a 4 WAR season. Reese Olson pitches a minimum of 140 innings. Jake Rodgers hits 35 homers.

It is possible that the players are trying to build a collusion case against the owners?

Spending doesn't guarantee anything. This year's free agent class wasn't anything to get excited about. So many free agents that are out there represent a five to 7 year commitment for 2 years production, if the team is lucky. That is a recipe that will hamstring a team. Chapman, Yamamoto, and Ohtani do not excite me, nor does Jack Flarhety for that matter. What I am looking for are solid contributors that don't effectively hamstring a team. I am tired of seeing the Jordan Zimmerman types waft through Detroit, having all the usefulness of teats on a gelded boar hog.

After seeing the projections thus far, I am very tempted to put money down on the Tigers beating the 79 win projection by Vagas odds makers, although I realize the odds will change. I see an 84 win team.

Under 18 they are protected by law, over 75 they are protected by nature. Anywhere in between is fair game.

A likely candidate. Nick Maton might be conceivable as well.

So, who is removed from the 40 man to make room for Kieth?

Mize settles on what seems to be a deal that could have been made earlier. Hmmm...
