chasfh Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I won't hammer Vilade for that ill-advised dive in left, as long as he did it realizing it was a seven-run lead and that he could never do that close-and-late. Either way, though, it would probably have been a double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 OK, Maeda didn't blow the lead, but it's not a blowout lead anymore. So ... progress? 🤷🏻♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 42 minutes ago, chasfh said: I don't think we are buying at the deadline for any reason. We're not going to go off plan and empty the top of the farm system just to have a puncher's chance at a third wild card spot. Why not? Doesn’t mean you trade for rentals—you can get team controlled players who teams might want to move that could be part of your core for a long time. Vladdy Guerrero is a good example of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 This is a good spot to get Shelby Miller back on the horse. Although that first out on the bullet shot was some lucky positioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Dickerson with a promo for a "Harry Potter Night" at Comerica. I saw the same promo during the Yankee game at Yankee Stadium. MLB must buy a gross of hats for teams to pass out. I never saw the same promo by different teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think Harris won't deviate from his plan of building the system just for a puncher's chance. We will buy when we better establish our core and we need to fill just a few holes. Right now we still have more holes than not, despite our 11-4 run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Down to 6.5 games back of the Twins for the Wild Card. Don't want to get ahead of myself but I will anyway, we play them at Copa next weekend, if we keep playing the way we are and pick up a game or 3 on them by then that could be a playoff like environment down there. Just thinking that could be a reason Hinch didn't pitch Skubal this weekend, if he did he wouldn't be inline for that series but now he is.

Time to see what Bonderman, Porcello and Fister are up to. Randy Wolf turns his ringer volume up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad can be a FA at the end of next season. So it would be a partial rental. And Toronto will prolly ask WAY too much for him. Maybe inquire about him but I wouldn't give up any top prospect(s) for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he counts all the $$ he makes, he'll loosen the purse strings and allow Harris to raise the payroll.

Somewhere between precautionary and catastrophic? Tigers' Reese Olson pulled from start after two innings with right shoulder soreness https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/07/20/tigers-reese-olson-pulled-from-start-after-two-innings-with-right-shoulder-soreness/74484066007/ The first step will be to take pictures. *IF* they don’t see anything they’ll let him try going into his weekly routine and see how it goes.

Time to see what Bonderman, Porcello and Fister are up to. I know you're kidding but just cause you mentioned his name I felt the need to bring up the fact that Rick Porcello is still only 35 which is wild to me, he's only less than a year older than Seth Lugo who is currently 3rd in the league in pitcher bWAR.

Toronto sucks. But yeah, beat the teams you're supposed to. That's what the good team do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
