The tweets about Paredes homers hurt my soul. 

[Adullin]

Wow that hurt 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

ok then.

[Dave Christian]

Grandslam!

The end!

[gehringer_2]

so tell me again why the Tiger brain trust is constantly preaching "use the big part of the field" to our hitters?

[romad1]

This season is testing me 

[Tigermojo]

Jake! He'll never grow the mustache back now.

So you're saying there's a chance...

I mean, why even bother playing at this point...curious as to what Harris is thinking. Does he realize this team is so far away tjat his contract may expire before they are considered a real professional baseball team again?

Welll, hard to take anything the Tiger brain trust says seriously when Harvy's still batting 2nd every game, let alone in the top 6 of the lineup🤷‍♂️

[Tiger337]

Lorenzen actually pitched pretty well tonight, but didn't have a seventh inning in him.  You can't really say he was left in too long though.  He cruised through innings 3-6 and his pitch count count was low.  

[gehringer_2]

decent play by Tork there goes for naught.

[gehringer_2]

2/3 BB. Maybe if we run down Torkelson enough we may end up with a real ballplayer.

[Tigermojo]

Can we just fast forward to July? Still have Atlanta, Minnesota and Texas for the rest of June.

[Tigermojo]

Jake you beast!

[gehringer_2]

figures the Tigers would lose the game when they finally score 6.

I guess the results are all that matters but his actual batted ball stats aren't that good, in fact he is one of the top 5 luckiest players in baseball based off of that. He is plus at striking out and elite at not swinging and missing but everything else he does is well below average. Obviously would still rather have him on the team at this point but I think sooner or later these numbers will correct himself and we will see that he isn't nearly as good as his traditional stats say right now.

Wait until you get the tweet that both Candelario and Paredes make the All-Star game.

TBF - that's a pretty good starting point.

Pretty good find and this would help explain if he starts slipping. 

[chasfh]

I do think there’s a pretty good chance we may have seen the only game in history in which the catcher committed two catcher’s interferences and hit two home runs in the same game.

While I was quite peeved that they shipped out Paredes without ever giving him a fair audition, I admit that I am one who had no problem with them letting Candelario go - I thought that was an up and down year kind of player and preferred a more consistent performer, but of course I assumed that Harris, being new Wunderkind, would prove up the task of finding a competent replacement. To be quite frank, his first effort to refill a position on the field has been a failure. None of the major league guys Harris acquired have shown  ability to fill the position at replacement level and the minor league player that was supposed to be the possible future there appears not to have the needed glove even if he may yet have the bat to get to the majors at some position.
