4/4 DH Game 1 12:10PM EDT Game 2 TBD Tigers @ Mets

Tork shouldn't need a swing coach every year. He was fine last year..not great but pretty good. Shouldn't be this hard.

Hinch needs to sit him down and tell him to back off and stop trying to hit everything 500ft. He may think he's 'sticking with the process' but his process has gotten distorted.

Coming home 5-1, I can’t imagine the fans booing any of the guys. I think the fans are better than that.

Best behavior goes out the window when half the fans had their first drink at 9AM.  

Harvey is most definitely catching some boos.

Part of what makes April the worst month of the baseball season (aside from the weather) is that there isn't enough of a sample size to go along with the hot takes that get fired off about players when they get off to slow starts.

Yes, that goes for Torkelson too... he's not the only person in this league who's off to a slow start FFS

[oblong]

I will fight anyone who boos tomorrow.

Javy will never live up to the contract, but he's one Pete Alonso homer away from helping them win two games 1-0 in this young season.

Early hot take - Matt Chapman, so far this season, with his 7 hits and 6 RBI's and paltry .233 BA, would be the best hitter (and 3rd baseman) on the Tigers right now, and will finish the season with a better BA and more RBI's than anyone on the Tigers...

OK, but just let the streakers streak.  I want to hear Benetti's call for that one.

Jason Benetti has just became my favorite pbp announcer of all time by purposely calling out Manning’s no hitter and flipping the bird to one of the dumber baseball superstitions of all.  

Expand  

Did you notice how nervous Craig Monroe was when he started doing that, and how seriously he doubted Benetti's contention that it would not affect the game in progress?
