Can we get the Tigers version of Urena now?

[1776]

How in the world is Feiger Law the official law firm of the Tigers instead of our friends at Sam Bernsteins? You can’t trust anybody these days.

Greetings from beautiful Erie, Pennsylvania!

Nice couple.

Perfect time for Malloy's first hit to break up the perfect game.

[IdahoBert]

Wow, it’s a perfect game. And I don’t mean the weather.

YES

[chasfh]

JHM! First major league hithomer!

[kdog]

I forgot about Lange. He will be called up if a bullpen arm is failing. Wentz is out of options so you will likely lose him if he gets exposed IMO.

[IdahoBert]

Flaherty and Maeda pulled out of games back-to-back? This is totally weird.

Sweet. We jinxed it.  

[IdahoBert]

Malloy likes this life. Happy for him. 

[1776]

Tork with a decent night. 2-4 with 2 K’s. 
Meadows with a home run. 

[IdahoBert]

Malloy’s parents are there? Awesome!

[IdahoBert]

Now 6-1. My optimism is fading for this game. 

[kdog]

I have heard the discourse about moving Keith to first and Jung back to second. It sounds intriguing..all contingent on both guys hitting.

[Tigermojo]

Keith needs a grand slam to make up for the costly error.

[tiger2022]

Or they could get an actual bat at first instead of trying to fill the position with below average hitters at 1st.

Anyone you're thinking of in particular?

I can’t see anyone putting in a claim for Wentz with the current steak he’s on.   He’s completely imploded giving up 16 ER in his last 6 outings.

Nope.  But if they think Keith has a future in the big leagues, moving him to first would be about as dumb a move as they could make.  He has a chance to be an above average bat at 2nd but at 1st, he would be a bottom 1/3 bat.

I can't think of any either, outside of Brandon Belt, and he's 36 and not a lock to rake, either. I don't think we can just pick up an available well-hitting first basemen at Target.

In any event, if I were going outside looking for help, whether via trade or signing, I'd be prioritizing shortstop before first base.

[Hongbit]

Alex Lange has had 4 hitless innings in his last 4 outings in Toledo and hasn’t walked a batter since going down to the Hens.   Have to assume he will be back up very soon.  

[IdahoBert]

OK, let’s get serious and win this game.
