PS (Also Erie):

Meadows 1-4

Wenceel 1-4

Brieske: 4.1 IP, 3H, 1R, 8K (!)

Wouldn't that be hilarious if Gipson-Long turns into another Reese Olson...?

Tossing his hat into the mix for the 2023 rotation...

[1984Echoes]

Trei Cruz 3-4 with a HR, BB and 2 runs scored.

Personally, this is another case of the 'rehab' mentality run amok in the Tiger org. The kid has limited innings to give - it hadn't been that long since he had pitched - he hadn't forgotten how. If he was going burn innings he should have burned them for the Tigers.

The act like they are 1/2 away from missing the playoffs and any possibility of guy having a melt down is some kind of critical. It's just absurd.

Tork stenciled "for Buddha" on his bat tonight.

i think tork will be fine and will likely be on the andrew vaughn path next year or the year after.

[gehringer_2]

Kerry Carpenter still has an OPS above 1000 and his K rate since his promotion is still <20%

Tork 9 hits (2 HR) and 3 walks in his last 7 games.

Overall, a pretty decent day for 2022 draft picks... all except Luke Gold got hits in their debuts I believe

Hell, he might be called up.  Maybe he can hit, too.

Just think what he could do with better stadium lighting.

Late bloomer.

Like JD Martinez.

He could be our new fave.

[Tenacious D]

Nice starts by ERod (Lakeland rehab) and Bergner (Toledo).  Olson continues to struggle at Erie.  

[gehringer_2]

Kerry Carpenter with another HR, his 5768th. (actually his 7th at Toledo to add to 22 at Erie)

[RandyMarsh]

I know it's dangerous to do "box score scouting" when it comes to minor leaguers cause they don't necessarily paint the picture on how they will handle big league pitching but it's hard not to get excited about Carpenter's numbers this year and how he seemingly keeps getting better as the year goes on particularly his K/BB numbers.
