IDK, there is some kind of deal where they need to maintain his eligibility to be on some list next season that gives them a shot at draft pick or somesuch nonsense.

You could try Malloy for some OBP and power but I don't want to see him in the short end of a platoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Just now, kdog said: The Tigers have left Haase and Schoop last through July 4th. Winning today's game is not a priority. Skubal and Olson pitched well; The manfred runner scored in the 10th. Wait, winning today, at home, agains the worst team in baseball wasnt a priority? Damn, I knew the bar was low...but there's not even a bar with that take🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Malloy is basically Christin Stewart in the field. They already have at least 3 DHs on the 25 man roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Not sure what the answer is but Schoop has sucked for two years, Nevin has sucked in MLB, Haase has sucked all season and Short has taken a nose dive after a hot start. That can't be the bench anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 On Haase, they don't have a viable backup C in Toledo. He's barely a catcher but he's safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holygoat Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Frustrating loss, and as much as I'd be happy to see Schoop and Ibanez replaced, I don't know that anyone was getting to Sears today. Sometimes bad teams get great performances. I remember watching Spencer Turnbull no-hit a 90-win Mariners team two years ago. Sh*t happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtrain72 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Wait, my beother just texted me that this was the first game the A's have pitched a shutout this season...is that true?! If so: Hey Harris, your team only gave up two hits in 10 innings and lost to the worst team in baseball...who also hasn't shut anyone out all season, until today...and Harvy is still batting cleanup.

A leadoff hitter as a Tiger and spent time with Oakland, so let him lead off this series. Could be explosive (happy 4th of July). Did any Tiger fan not appreciate Phillips' time as a Tiger? I mean, sure, he had a clunker of a game now and again like all ball players do. But, he was so fun to watch, you knew he'd be in the lineup, but you just didn't know where until you saw the lineup card. He had some shortcomings as far as talent was concerned, but damn it if he didn't make up for it with wit and guile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 The absolute worst ABs of the game were Haase. He's got to get his head on straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malloy didn't force it earlier this season when he was tearing it up. I don't think it'll happen with either at this point. Next season might be a different story.
