You miss on draft picks..the smart executives know when to cut bait. They don't try to tell themselves a story how things will be different next year.

I'm sorry Dingler and Kreidler are not in the same galaxy. Dingler is just getting started. Kreidler isn't an mlb player.

This was classifed as a 'slider'...Bondo is rolling over in his grave.

Can they put him on the 400 day DL?

Mize is getting drilled...they are killing everything he throws up there.

They do because this part of the season is about testing young players.

The downside of an entire lineup of young hitters.

This game underscores the need for a real right handed bat. You can't be serious and rely on Tork to provide anything next year. He might be a complementary guy, but that's it.

We're stress testing a lot of young players. Sometimes it's going to be a struggle.

Has contract insurance changed since we were talking about it years ago when the Tigers were good? Can they possibly game the system to have insurance pay part of the deal?

Hidden move on that list is Baez getting put on the 60 Day DL. He is getting right hip surgery.

Brant Hurter starts Tuesday vs the Angels....Faedo to the IL with a shoulder strain.

Mize's next start will be in the majors..on or after August 30th.

Good stuff from everyone else...Meadows making contact against a lefty.

2nd and 3rd nobody out...another Tork failure to even get one run in. He is incapable with men on base.

At this point, I feel bad for Tork.

It's late enough in the season that he should just go home.

Nope it’s another injury.

Is this anything more than a long term injury?

Joey Wentz is as bad as it gets…the verdict is in and you don’t owe him any money. What’s the point?

Can he play infield maybe?

I'm going strictly by the media and twitter scouts. Hopefully he proves us wrong.

I'm requesting that Harris and Ilitch divert a little bit from their risk profile to get a real impact right handed bat. Make a trade and ship off excess prospect inventory to get a guy who will help you next year. I don't want to hear about blocking prospects. They aren't all going to work out..as we have seen. And they have to figure out a solution for SS. Henning seems to think that they are going to dump Baez's money. But I have my doubts. Even if you do that, you need an actual option to play the position.

sure...Jung isn't a 3B defensively and Tork's not someone you can rely on.
