Not only did Maeda put this game in jeopardy,  he's messing up tomorrow's available pitchers.   

It's bad on so many levels.   

 

He’s done that in every appearance this year but one.  They had to bring in Vest on two different occasions because he couldn’t pitch through a blowout

Hinch being cute by using all those arms up 1 inning each.

They have to release Kenta.  They HAVE to. 

[romad1]

It will be an injury thing.  He will be given the opportunity to save face.  This is about the next Japanese FA. 

[Tigermojo]

That Jobe kid is pretty good.

[Sports_Freak]

Never a doubt....gulp.

Dan Dickerson’s call of the final out.

We can’t just make up injuries can we?

[gehringer_2]

Manning had another unimpressive start Tuesday - time to get him out of that pattern of futility also - convert him to relief and call him up.

Royals tonight;

Hey, do you have expressed written consent from Major League Baseball and the Detroit Tigers?

Depends - you can if the player will play along. If Kenta wants to keep pitching that would force a DFA.

Is a Dead Arm an injury?

Better ERA than Skubal. 😆

Edit; no he doesn't. Close though.

Maeda is clearly toast. I don’t know whether he’ll be released tonight, but he might be pitching in Japan within a month, if an outright release from a big league team allows him to.

Thing is, who would we bring up? Foley and Guenther are both hurt, and nobody else in that Toledo bullpen has any major league experience. Maybe somebody will be making his major league debut this week.

Maybe Chafin? I know he's lefty, but Maeda can't even be trusted in mop up

Luckily enough...we are in better health than the Royals.
