Manager playing players out of position. McKinstry at SS? No thank you.

And we didn't sign JD Martinez because they didn't want to tie up the DH spot. At least, that was their excuse for not signing JD.

Throwing error all the way.

Riley is SO clutch!

His pitch count is good...for 5 innings. Not for 3 innings.

The lighting isn't the problem with him. Injuries are an issue. A sneeze is a 30 day back strain....

Billy Bob Thornton.

Yeah, Billy Bob.

I binge watched the 1st season of Goliath on Amazon Prime. 8 out of 10 stars.

Who was that who used to say that about JV? Was it Jake?

Not with this score. Hinch will empty out his BP with a day off tomorrow.

These guys in the booth would ALL be fired if I owned the team. No giggling allowed, try to act professional. They sound like total idiots, ignoring the game and talking about horse racing? Who gives a f?

Jake 2 for 3 so far with a home run and 3 RBI. Hinch will sit him for another week. What...he doesn't like Jake's mustache or something?

Tired of all these positions being platooned. Put the best defense out there to prevent runs and let them hit. Over-thinking at times and lazy managing other times. I've seen enough, time to cancel Bally until hockey season.

Here comes a few Brewer insurance runs...

I hate a platoon system in so many positions. It's what we get with a manager who has access to way too many stats. It's like in fantasy football when a receiver has a huge week, everyone plays him the following week. They call it "chasing points" and it very rarely works. Modern baseball being played on a computer...gotta love it. 🤔

Why is Kelly our everyday catcher? I'm not a fan, even if someone shows how much better his stats are.

Even on the road....didn't they lose the 1st game in Tampa and win the next 2?

The Tigers will win the next 2 games. It seems like we always open a series looking horrible and then play great the rest of the series. Or not....they'll battle all season to try for .500.

Is it a new approach or is he just feasting on weak AAA pitching? He's not coming back until he changes his approach. At least, from what I've heard.

Gotta feel for the fans who spent money to watch this garbage. Perhaps the only way it will change is if fans start staying away in droves...

JD Martinez was out there awhile. I know Hinch like to use the DH to rest guys but the Tigers had a questionable offense and JD could have won us a few games. The Tigers weren't in on any free agents, but trades? We have no idea if Harris worked on any trades for a quality player. He prolly was told to keep the payroll down. At least, that would be my guess.

This is key; "In a year or two, Rakestraw and Arnold could be the starting outside cornerbacks in a Lions defense that has other good talent on that side of the ball to help their cover corners." Rookie corners usually struggle their first season. And the Lions history with bringing rookies along slowly are all excellent points in establishing them so they get confidence. Nobody in the organization wants to throw them to the wolves and ruin their careers. By the end of the season, they should be playing at a high level, just in time for the playoffs...😀

Exactly. Send a message...a real zero tolerance message. Guys caught with cannabis in their system get longer suspensions than people beating on women, fighting in clubs or gun charges? The NFL needs to start using common sense.

That's pretty obvious to fans but what we dont know about is if he's under orders to keep the payroll low. That would explain a lot, why he goes after these prove-it type players. They're less expensive.
