On the season we have 30HRs in just under 2100 or 1 HR in every 70 PAs and trending downward, for reference Jose Iglesias for his career is 1 for every 85. At our current rate we could be to Iglesias' HR rate by the end of the month. On June 3 I traveled 20 hours to get from Vancouver to a small town north of Manchester on the Irish Sea. I spent the next 6 days trekking 185 miles on foot from that coast to the North Sea on the other side of England. Then took multiple trains to get to Manchester, overnight, continue onto Heathrow and fly home, arriving Saturday night. I've now been home 45 hours. In all that time, the Tigers have not hit one home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, the Dallas Stars had to fire their head coach (Jim Montgomery) because of off ice issues... I just remember how wild and toxic that conversation was down here where I live and, idk, it was kinda gross. Any number of reasons were speculated on. I believe it came out later that it was substance abuse, but he was ultimately the one to reveal and confirm it.

Edman85 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Worth pointing out there is a separate list (Bereavement and Family Emergency) for family health issues. If that lasts longer than 7 days, the player is put on the Restricted List. Since it hasn't been 7 days, this is not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental health, addiction, burnout, legal troubles are things I've seen it used for in the past. Or a family situation that lasts longer than 7 days.

CMRivdogs Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) This probably belongs in the minors thread but say a headline from the Toledo paper that Lloyd is out for unannounced reasons today, not sure for how long. The story was behind the Blade's paywall. if I was into conspiracies I'd wonder. Edited June 14, 2022 by CMRivdogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers blackballing of Fenech has them scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, he pitched really well in the rehab start, you would think that argues against it being a baseball issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I hate to copy from behind a paywall, but Will Carroll's newsletter is chock full of injury goodness, and I have been exchanging dm's with him every time Hinch tries to obfuscate the Mize injury. Unfortunately, the Tigers beat just regurgitates Hinch. This is from the newsletter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the Tigers beat just regurgitates Hinch. This is from the newsletter. the interesting part is that surgically reconstruction is prefered to repair. From a purely mechanical perspective you might think the process would be aided by only having to do one end, but apparently not. I've haven't seen exactly how they do a UCL but I have seen schematics of ligament replacement techniques (ACL) where they do a looping attachment, in which case the remains of the existing ligament aren't any help - not long enough.
