This game will be the opposite of the old saying about the irresistible force meeting the immovable object: in this case it will a team that can't pass block against a team that can't pass rush.

that, or sheltering from an abusive relationship...... ..

LOL! Alexander deserved better, Carlton just had nothing, but other than my complaint on the 3rd run they played a decent game.

Peleton has been a relatively clever marketing misdirection. Start out appearing to sell a piece of equipment and just sort of seamlessly morph into selling an internet club membership. It *is* pretty hard to warm up to their target audience though....😎

so we just saw an example of a good athlete defeating himself with a low game IQ. Niko made a great play to stop that ball from going to the OF, which would have scored Kiermaier, but then threw away that positive accomplishment by making a futile throw to 1st which was not going to get the batter but let Kiermaier score. I won't miss Niko or W. Castro if neither on the team in '22.

Sadly, they will probably lose ground against the Palehose - 4-9 against them this season.

Colt Keith's disappearance from the line-up at Lakeland all last week is no longer a mystery. He is now listed on the 60 day DL. Haven't found any report of what happened to him.

Miguel has 69 hits in his last 64 games. Across those 263 PA since May 7, he has hit 290 with a 763 OPS. Not great, but certainly better than anything they could play in his place - which is to say despite what some idiot talking heads who apparently can't find their way to Baseball Reference (I'm looking at you Pat Caputo) think, he is by no means the Tigers' worst player, not even close. But the interesting thing is that if you multiply 69/64 times the 57 remaining games, you get 61. Miguel is 59 hits short of 3K. If he plays nearly every day and avoids another slump, he could actually make it to 3000 hits this season, which I would have said wasn't even worth thinking about earlier in the season.

I've found the site to be pretty terrible for some time now - lots irritating time outs even when it's not completely down.

Mission accomplished

I want Edvinsson. He and Sieder anchoring the 1 and 2 defense pairings could make the Wings heII to play against. But I don't think he'll be there.

I seems to be the Tigers' fate for some team in the Div to have their number in any given year.
