In baseball, culture=talent...they have very little. In football and maybe hockey, you have an emotional component, so culture could apply to if the players 'buy in.'

They are the kings of getting the one run so it's not an official shutout.

I don’t think they have much in Toledo. When Faedo gets off rehab, he is going to replace Englert.

He should take up pitching full time.

5 runs in the last 50 innings…this is hilarious.

We can win 2-1 games against the Sox lol.

I've seen this game before...waiting for Shelby Miller to appear and do the deed.

No Jung or any new faces in the Tigers clubhouse today...same old guys

holy crap...he melted down:

I heard somewhere that Fenech quit journalism and is entirely off the grid. Looked him up on twitter and found this:

I don't think it's a hot take from Cody with Tork. If he was a CF or a middle infielder with defensive value, you would give him more time. But he's a DH masquerading as a 1B and is well below replacement level. OTOH, Chris Brown thinks they are going to give Tork another full offseason chance to win the job back. So I don't know who to believe. With the way he's been performing in Toledo, it doesn't matter. He's not worth discussing until we see some meaningful changes in his swing process.

let's win one game in a row.

Their entire modus operandi is to let this offense sit around in the name of development. Jung has huge defensive issues and we're still not sure he has solved his contact problems.

Calling up Jung doesn't make sense to me...maybe they see something that we don't.

We have to frame calling up guys from Toledo as a way to further their development. It's not about saving this season or fixing this terrible offense. JHM deserves more time to see if his hit tool can develop facing major league stuff. Keith has to stay up because of their investment in him. If they think Meadows has made some good swing changes, he deserves a shot and Baddoo should be sent back down. But they can't fix this season either way.

I know messaging doesn't matter on bad teams. The only thing you can fix is adding talent and winning. But fans deserve to hear from him or ownership that things will be ok...even if we are skeptical.

I know we are stuck with this roster...but playing McKinstry and Urshela on a team going nowhere is such a waste of time. Guessing we have reached the end of the line with Baddoo as soon as tomorrow. Ibanez will probably be moved at the deadline but you won't much. Call up Meadows and invest more time in Wenceel for the rest of the year.

He always complements the opposing pitcher like he's vintage Verlander.

I know the front office doesn't care about results...but this is really an embarassing offensive product. I don't care about how long Harris has been around or Ilitch sitting in the stands. Someone let the product rot to this point...and they can't do anything to fix it.

They are one inning away from a one run offensive output...which would put them at 3 total runs in 4 losses..game 1 in Houston was a shutout.

Malloy is going to get killed with spin but maybe he can hit fastballs...that would be progress with this offense.

Oh I think Malloy gets more time...because he's right handed and they have nothing from that side of the plate with Tork down.

I think I was agreeing with you. If JHM doesn't hit, he has no other value.
