Remember this kid?  Certainly can't be a kid anymore.

I love not having an off day on Monday, especially coming off a loss.

[mtutiger]

Not the reason they lost by any means yesterday, but it was another lineup with Cabrera and Schoop batting back 2 back... painful stuff

Setting aside Miggy, who is untouchable so long as he wants to play, how much more leash is Schoop gonna get? He's really hard to watch at the plate right now

Carpenter and Kreidler's returns from injury seem like obvious checkpoints here...

Sounds right... not hard to think he'd be gone already without the Kreidler injury

Yeah, Schoop is cooked. He should basically be relegated to ninth-inning defensive replacement and garbage-time pinch-hitter at this point. Sure, he’s going to have to start some games some time, and actually yesterday would have been as good a time as any (getaway game against a flailing team), but he probably shouldn’t start more than once a week.

Niko Goodrum Nick Gordon is hitting .143/.155/.300 with more playing time than Schoop.  So I guess it could be worse.  

Edit: Read his name too fast, it's actually Nick Gordon.  Aaron Hicks, Jean Segura and Cavan Biggio are also having terrible starts this year.

I mentioned it before but Schoop had that one Ruthian month in 2021 that he parlayed into an extension but other than that he has been trash at the plate for atleast the last 2 and a half seasons so it's not like this is just a poor start for him.

Tigers don't lose many 1 games in a row. A loss usually snowballs into more losses. Let's break that pattern. 

[kdog]

Tigers are #1 in the AL in defensive runs saved and #2 in outs above average.

And that's after they made four errors yesterday!

[Tigermojo]

Bibee today, Bieber tomorrow.

[Fat Bastard]

Come on Tigers! If we legit want to challenge for the AL central, starts with this series., winning on the road against our rivals.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

gotta say, that was a pretty sick play by Giménez.

Limited the damage to one run after a leadoff double and single.

My old deer camp buddy, Adam Hamari, is umpiring second base.

I've seen him more this season than I have in at least three years.

So don't cuss out the home plate ump on Wednesday. Noted.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

no fair tagging him in the throwing the ball at his 'nads.

The bunyan's telling me we're due for a 5-6 game losing streak.

[Fat Bastard]

Never seen someone get hit in the gnads from home plate before.

[Tigermojo]

The ball actually hit Baddoo and bounced into his glove. I'm not sure he even tagged him before his foot hit the bag but there's only seconds to challenge.
