Good data to know, thanks!

[IdahoBert]

I’m glad they didn’t — or couldn’t — trade Carpenter for a couple iffy prospects. It’s nice to believe that our rebuild won’t take as long as the reign of an Egyptian pharaoh. I know he’s on a cheap one-year contract, but do they have any more control over him than this?

They still have four more years of control. Arbitration eligible in 2026. Free agent 2029.

Whew!! This is why I come here. I’m glad there are people that know more about this stuff than I do. Thank you. This is one less thing to toss and turn in bed thinking about all night long.

Most of the young guys are under control four plus years. Rogers for three more. Skubal and Mize for two more.

But arbitration years are iffy. If guys don't produce or if they get hurt, Harris may not offer them qualifying offers. Candelario, Turnbull and Boyd are all examples. There may be more?

Possible but not really a concern this year. Rogers, Mize and Skubal are the only arbitration eligible players this off season. The end of next year might be more of a roster crunch.

I don't know. Is Harris willing to take a chance on Mize winning an arbitration hearing? How about Jake? His offense is pretty poor. And with Dingler up here now, you just never know.

[Sports_Freak]

Sammons came outta nowhere. Kinda surprises me. Oops...a run. 

[1984Echoes]

Harris is not going to worry about Jake's offense.

Rogers + Dingler = 1 veteran to help guide Dingler + hopefully the future (Dingler) starter... Or as soon as Dingler can get there. Not until Liranzo/ or Briceno are ready to graduate to MLB and share catching duties, AND Jake is ready to walk as a FA... will we need to worry about waving goodbye to our dear friend Jake.

IMO.

Need to generate some runs of our own...

But Woo's been really tough this year...

Who saw the Tigers struggle to score runs after 15 runs last night? Uhhh...just about everyone.

I don't know. Use Dingler as your starter and bring in an inexpensive backup. I could see that happening if Jake may win a salary hearing. IDK.

[gehringer_2]

Vest. Make a low IQ play, then walks the next man, then gives up the bloop.

Not looking hopeful.

Malloy is so so bad in the field. Two runs on two catchable fly balls. Can not play him in the field 

[Tigermojo]

Score runs dummies.

-2 runs above average in 53 games as per Statcast, but I wonder if they have caught up with the poor play in the last week or so.

[IdahoBert]

Sammons, wow. Got caught up in my son’s playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima on his PS5. Only just now remembered this game was on.

[Tigermojo]

Woohoo!

[IdahoBert]

Holy crap, Kerry Carpenter !

[IdahoBert]

Kerry Carpenter homers (11) on a fly ball to right field. Matt Vierling scores.

[gehringer_2]

Kerry Carpenter: Good at Baseball.

[Tigermojo]

Toledo, Erie and Lakeland are all tied 3-3 late in the game.
