Maybe the rest of the staff should dye their hair blue.

Can I believe my eyes? A Tiger pitcher made a play in the field!

Lange wanted no part of Judge - leaves a mess for Soto.

this Yankee staff mostly works pretty fast. If that is Aaron Boone's doing, good for him.

Kirk sounds decent - having a good day.

Barnes *is* going to turn back into a pumpkin, but hopefully not today.

Reyes - no drama on the fly ball. Pineda - great outing.

Also Scherzer

The ‘vacuum tube’ idea was a really dumb concept. It’s one of those things that doesn’t scale.

yeah - that's a good observation. If the silly fool was still playing at the Judo master thing into his 50's he may well have fried his back beyond repair - you've got to know when to back off certain things, and we don't need much more evidence Putin doesn't.

Schoop has an 0/20 going. Ouch.

With Putin you can count on that being some kind of lie, the only question is from which direction.

I think it only changes as the roster changes. You have guys that don't have good compete awareness, as long you play them your team won't. Jimenez is 6yr vet - if he doesn't have the awareness to hold a runner in a close game today, he simply never will, so the team's compete level doesn't take a step up until a guy like that is gone. Sure, there are guys with so much talent you may have to live with the loose screws, but the Tigers in question don't have that kind of talent....

Goodbye Daz, we hardly knew ye.

that is certainly a change.

didn't he say that the night he hit 499 then change his mind by the next morning? But maybe that was a road game he held him out of, I don't remember...

LOL - big night for Barnhart actually - a hit,BB and CS.

Tigers can't seem to make the right choices tonight.

that is the thing with Schoop. It was the same last year - looks like he'll never hit the ball again in his life, then goes on a tear, then back to futility. It's who he is.

Ok, I said the other night that Jimenez keeps getting chances because he has a swing and miss fastball. I don't care. He's just bad news.

It's Tiger manager's gift. Not always easy to pick the guy who will be unprepared to make a play.

to run out of gas in a modern car dinging and flashing at you requires at minimum some level of distraction.

if there has ever been a team in the history of baseball that loses more games because their pitchers can't field, I'd like to know who it is....

bases should be loaded with no-one out

yeah - from 1961 to when West took over as coach the Lakers had only 2 losing seasons - with a 69 win championship in '71/2. I would take that team as in the conversation as greatest of all time. Real sorry franchise!
