I've really gotten to like having it wrapped up by around 6-6:30 PM so I can focus on other ways to waste time all evening. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Hidden move on that list is Baez getting put on the 60 Day DL. He is getting right hip surgery. Edited August 26 by kdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Wentz survives and Sammons goes to Toledo? I don't get that at all. Would Wentz even get claimed on waivers? Would we care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough that reduces whatever odds there were that they would not bring him back next season. Now he is pretty much guaranteed to be back at least for ST to see how he is. Or if they find something serous in the hip I suppose a medical retirement becomes an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Has contract insurance changed since we were talking about it years ago when the Tigers were good? Can they possibly game the system to have insurance pay part of the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess that it's a matter of slots for long relievers for bullpen days. rotation is Skubal, Montero, Madden, opener+Maeda, and occasional BP day. so there may not be room for him to work regularly the way the team wants him to work now that there's another actual starter, whereas he can presumably do that in Toledo.

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Báez returned to Detroit over the weekend to undergo further evaluation. The verdict was he needed an arthroscopic hip procedure. The Tigers transferred Báez to the 60-day injured list Monday, making room on the 40-man roster for right-handed pitcher Ty Madden, who was set to debut against the White Sox.

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 In a way, the Tigers seem to be running it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes. But these don’t seem like moves done out of desperation either. It’s “let’s see what we’ve got!” I’m really enjoying this. And here I thought this last part of the season would be a death march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the braintrust is handling things. Javy gets needed surgery and we find out what else we have to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAbbott Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 So what would be a time frame for Javy's surgery and rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 How soon before the beginning of the game itself does the pregame show usually start? I’m kind of a neophyte when it comes to watching these games on TV. It’s been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a while. the mlb.tv stream is up at least an hour before first pitch. probably even a few hours. the Bally pregame probably starts on an even half-hour, so 5:30 MDT in this case.

Guessing the being in the middle of 14 straight game days has something to do with it. Plus, gotta see what McKinstry has in LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx. I remember in the very old days of satellite TV — like 40 years ago you could just watch an unfiltered camera view of the playing field while people mumbled and talked and moved around in the background.

Would we care? They've carried Wentz so long at this point you might as well keep him through the end of season - left handers are notorious for being late developers and the cost of seeing where he is next Spring is now pretty small. If they DFA him even now he'd almost certainly get picked up - he's a left hander with a pulse. Edited August 26 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
