He's about as close to ready as just about any player I've seen. The Tigers are being careful with him but if keeps this up, he's going to force their hand;

That woulda opened a can of worms. With Vierling already outta the game, move Perez to CF and bring in Carpenter for RF? IDK if I woulda pitched to the speedy LH hitter, a RH hitting catcher was on deck. And 2nd base was open, walk the hitter to set up a force at any base or a possible DP? Thats a tough call, it's why Hinch makes the big bucks. Whichever doesnt work is the wrong call...😅😅

Yeah. OK. How did that work out for the Tigers? I'm sure he was really hitting LH pitchers in the International League. AAA hitters don't always have success at the ML level. And his defense was the biggest worry. Going 0-3 is no big deal, most young players don't have immediate success. It would be asinine to expect immediate success. 😆 All I'm saying is the risk-reward heavily favored the risk. You wanna call him up to fill in at 2nd or 3rd as a utility player, fine. But to start him when other regulars are being rested? The shutout outcome was fairly predictable. And again, it's pure hindsight...v

Well, good luck tomorrow when we face, what may be, the 2nd best LH starting pitcher in the AL. This Tiger team was desperate for a big RH bat last fall. We didn't get one.

I hope this long layoff doesn't affect the Pistons...

To be honest, I would have used Keith at 3rd. He was already resting Riley. And Keith has been pretty good. Would Lee's bat be much better than Keith's? IDK, but offensively, we stunk. It looks like that 10th inning throw Lee didnt catch from Dingler really didnt matter, the runner looked safe. But a totally raw rookie may not have been the best idea to start. Hindsight....

Next major deal? Harris doesn't make major deals.

I'm talking about shaky defense at 3rd base. Hinch had several options rather than putting an inexperienced AAA rookie out there. It ended up not mattering much but it very well could have been a disaster. His defense looked very shaky.

Sit on the bench. 1st major league game in Fenway? What could possibly go wrong?

Questioning intentional walks? Yesterday's game was screaming for an intentional walk to the LH Keith to get to the RH Tork. I'm still amazed it wasn't done. Glad, but wondering why...

Loss. Playing a raw rookie at 3rd base on his ML debut wasn't the smartest move by Hinch. He had multiple options...

Seriously? It's been 9 years?

And baseball....gave him another chance.

Late wins are exciting. Late losses really suck. Really, really suck.

This game will be won in the 9th inning. Either we score or get walked off.

An 8 inning 0-0 game at Fenway? Unusual..

Hurter coming in. He's either really good or really bad. No in-between.

Trouble maker!! 😆

No lead is safe at Fenway but it sure would be nice to have a lead.

Mize looking good. A solid #3 pitcher.

Jones belongs in Toledo.

If Armold is suspended by the NFL, does his salary come off the Lions payroll books?

I watched the first season of Cross on Amazon Prime. It's based on the James Patterson books of the Alex Cross series, which I've read. The first season of Cross was really good. The 2nd season? Not so much, way too confusing. Of course, IMO.

That link works to embed. Some don't, I think the way the tweet is posted makes it different? Anyway, this is how it works for me. In the lower right corner is this symbol...click it; After then, it the lower left, click this symbol; And then, click the right side of this message box; After clicking it, a message should appear briefly telling you "copied to clipboard"....then just come here and press an empty space on a new message. It should show up as a link for a few seconds until it embeds. This is the way I do it, there may be other (easier) ways.

Rookie error;
