kdog Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 It looks like Maeda is getting activated on Friday if there are no setbacks. So Manning will go back down and wait his next chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) 2 hours ago, kdog said: I won't be too surprised if they make noise in the AL Central, but it won't be because "they're gritty and get the job done with two outs". They are batting .238 with a .646 OPS with two outs. They will make noise in the AL Central if they continue to get good pitching and the hitters start producing with consistency.

oblong Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 He's just saying nice things about a team leaving town. What do you expect a manager to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1776 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Somebody needs to inform Cleveland that the Tigers are going to make some noise in the AL Central before it’s too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Anderson on Chris Pittaro: “He has a chance to be the greatest second baseman who ever lived.” I'd say he was more excited about Pittaro since he moved Whitaker to 3B to make room for Pittaro in spring training.

Tiger337 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 And Carl Willis...the next Rollie Fingers. It is interesting that a lot of players he hyped stayed in the game after their playing days were over. Part of why he hyped them may have been that they had baseball smarts or were good leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
