I read up on his signing with the Titans. Yes, he signed very cheap. 4.5 million $$. But his head coach in Tennessee was the offensive coordinator his first several years in Cincinnati. It would have been nice to have him here as our #2 or #3 receiver. But it sounds like he wanted a reunion with Callahan.

Ohhh...so Mize won't be going to arbitration. Yeah, he should still be here. But the guy has to start pitching much better and start staying healthy. I mean, this latest injury happened when he ran 50 feet or so for a pop foul. Basic stretching exercises prevents those injuries, especially in a young guy.

Didn't Boyd want the opportunity to get more touches? WR3 probably didn't appeal to him?

Breaking News; Wet driveway alert!

No chance? IDK...there's a very good chance. Unless Mize gets back here and starts pitching decent. He really hadn't shown much...

How many millions will he demand in arbitration? Remember, he wasn't a Harris pick. Look at Manning and Torkelson, Boyd and Turnbull. And there's probably more. Sure, Manning didn't perform but neither did Maeda.

The problem with this is, I don't see Harris offering Mize arbitration. He doesn't keep injured pitchers around.

Bring Matthew Boyd home.

Correction; first hit off of Muńoz since July 4th. First run allowed since June 26th and 1st HR allowed since May 18th. And Javy Bāez got him. That's...baseball...

If he bounces back next season and is effective, he'll be traded.

When we pitch like this, a little offense is all we need. We only gave up 1 hit and 5 walks. 4 of those walks came in the 1st inning.

First run off of him since July 4th, according to Jason. A 2 out, 2 run homer to Javy....very good to see but really kinda unbelievable.

A combined 1 hitter. We're 5-1 against a team that's fighting for their playoff lives. Amazing...

Late game victories are so much fun. Bring on those damn Yankees...

When I was watching him today, he looked like he has pinpoint control.

Lol..Hinch isn't going anywhere. He was extended last off-season to a super-duper secret extension. 😁

Can you imagine if Carpenter would have been healthy in June and July? We may have been buyers...

Agreed. Seattle was playing a depth that would have allowed them a play at the plate on a line drive single. With that being said, the ball Baddoo hit wasn't a routine fly ball. It was smoked over the CF head.

Holton was the best pickup Harris made.

I don't know. Use Dingler as your starter and bring in an inexpensive backup. I could see that happening if Jake may win a salary hearing. IDK.

Who saw the Tigers struggle to score runs after 15 runs last night? Uhhh...just about everyone.

Sammons came outta nowhere. Kinda surprises me. Oops...a run.

I don't know. Is Harris willing to take a chance on Mize winning an arbitration hearing? How about Jake? His offense is pretty poor. And with Dingler up here now, you just never know.

But arbitration years are iffy. If guys don't produce or if they get hurt, Harris may not offer them qualifying offers. Candelario, Turnbull and Boyd are all examples. There may be more?

Well, we got lucky with Perez producing for Carpenter. But the Riley Greene injury along with the Tork and Meadows ineffectivness weren't as easily replaced. They weren't injury losses but they still effected (affected?) our win total. And I really will repeat, IMO, we can't compete with our All Star left fielder missing 50+ games per season. If every position player were hurt that often, would fans expect enough depth to cover for them? And will Harris offer arbitration when he's eligible, with his injury history? He may just move on from him, trade him away?
