Who else should they have taken?

yeah - Pick wasn't wasted, early rounds of that draft have not produced much of anything - a couple of pitchers but the Tigers wanted a hitter.

turning out to be a  weak draft overall

Spencer Strider at 126th is probably the best player so far

Im already tired of the stupid new jersey

[gehringer_2]

You've got  to be kidding. HR on the 1st pitch of the game then 3 guys K?

[Tigermojo]

Is Greene going to hit 40 HR?

[Tigermojo]

Nice throw by Carpenter.

[IdahoBert]

Well, we got our run for the day out of the way quickly. See you tomorrow. 

[SoCalTiger]

So please tell me for those watching the game. Two questions :

1. Could a better first baseman have caught the ball down the line Tork flailed at ? Or knocked it down for a single.

2. Would Verling have caught the ball that carpenter fielded on the bounce ? ( nice throw but was it catchable? )

 

Am I being critical ?

Only at leadoff. 40 solo home runs. 😅😅

I don’t have the TV package to see what these uniforms really look like on the field, but from this photo it looks like something out of Tron. It looks kind of cool, but it doesn’t look baseballish.

I hope nobody wears orange cleats with these uniforms.

Beat me to it...

But I'm just now catching up...

[Tiger337]

If he bats third, it will be 3 fewer solo home runs😃

[Tigermojo]

I thought 1. Canha 2. Greene was a no brainer since spring training but Hinch is the chess master and we are armchair managers.

Torkeson covered the distance to get to it, but didn't come up with it on the dive - so sure, I say a guy with better hands could have made the stop.

I don't know what his ceiling is at this point.... but I do think he is capable of turning it around.

Regardless, I don't see how he recovers his standing with the fanbase even if he does turn it around. To borrow a phrase from contemporary politics, it's appears to have gone beyond "frustration" into "negative polarization" with a lot of folks, at least on Twitter IMO

I think we all way too online. The social media impact on this minimal. If he has a good month, everything turns around. And people's expectations are so low that just a little improvement will be spun as positive.

[Hongbit]

Every.Single.Game.   Multiple missed calls behind the plate

[kdog]

This hurts a team that has like 3 rallies a game:

 

[mtutiger]

Ump show baby

[IdahoBert]

God, they’re awful. 

[Tigermojo]

It's not just the Yankees who the umps favor.

[Sports_Freak]

One of these days, Tork is going to hit a baseball 500 feet. Shut up all the naysayers.
