  1. They are running out the clock on Haase's time in major league baseball right now. They don't have a viable solution in Toledo and he won't be back next year. I guess the only hope is that he runs into a fastball and hits it far. But that's about it.
  2. I'm also out on the meta discourse on how people should talk about Baez. The contract is a disaster. People can complain about it every night or they can accept that he is a sunk cost and just deal with it. I'm going to do both based on my own state of mind that day.
  3. I don't think there will be huge moves from the outside. They will add some talent with strengths on the margins(defense, speed, etc). You might see a decent investment in a good starting pitcher. For offensive development, it's going to be internal mostly. Another take: Time has has run out for Akil Baddoo IMO. After the deadline, he should be replaced by Meadows.
  4. They've had two horrible streaks during the season...the start and the 9 game losing streak. Aside from that, it's been a mid team
  5. Here's an example where they are watching Skubal's workload. You need to squeeze out an extra inning from the bullpen.
  6. Englert's disastrous performance on Saturday night was a way to circumvent his rule 5 status. Make him look so bad that he has to be injured so you can put him on the IL and create a roster spot. Galaxy brain stuff lol. Edit... i read beck's earlier tweet. Did they change the Rule 5 roster requirement? I thought they had to stay on the roster for the full year.
  7. Lorenzen and E-Rod's final starts.
  8. Big day for promotions:
  9. Losing manning is bad luck…the tigers already have no margin of error. They have had plenty of bad luck with injuries, etc.
  10. Englert is a rule 5 player. You can’t option him. You can offer him back to Texas or find a deal where the tigers can keep him permanently.
  11. "It was really important to get as much out of Englert as we could." They did not want to take any chances with Manning.
  12. Don’t tell Lynn Henning
  13. There's a difference between AL Central good and actual good.
  14. I want the Twins or Guardians to win games so the Tigers don't delude themselves into thinking they are in a race. I'm sure Harris knows the talent on this roster is years away. It's easier to sell when you are 8 games out.
  15. I think we can quibble whether Englert is worth locking in a roster spot for the full season. But they don't have any real answers for pitching in Toledo..it's defensible.
  16. With the pitching staff, they are going to very cautious with Manning, Skubal, and Olson. Once ERod and Lorenzen are traded, it's going to be rough.
  17. Tomorrow looks like a bullpen day...starter is still TBD. Is Englert's roster spot safe even with the rule 5 thing?
  18. Tigers have no interest in doing everything to win every game...shows you how little respect they have for the talent on their roster. It makes sense because this team is very far away from being good.
