[buddha]

i missed the beginning, but i see alex faedo turned back into alex faedo.

well, with clemens on the mound that ought to be the lead story on the national news and not the actual game...

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Haha, I finally had a free moment to check in on the game. Hoo boy.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Harold and Kody "got" to pitch? Ouch.

Good to see Harold lowering his ERA, though. 🙄

So, we send Torkelson down now, right? Like, end of the home stand maybe? Far from blaming Tork, and I acknowledge he is the best 1B in the org, but surely somebody else can play there for a few weeks? Harold?

[gehringer_2]

they should dock a team a game in the standings for every position player they use to pitch. That's bullcrap baseball.

If Tork goes down, H. Castro would be the best bet at 1st. He's our best bat at the moment. But Tork isn't going anywhere.

There's one member of the local media speaking out

I feel so bad for Tork. He needs to go now for his own good. This is ridiculous. Not sure why you would even bring Riley into this mess at this moment.

[Dave Christian]

The Detroit Tigers are a pathetic baseball team.

I would rather watch my grandsons little league baseball team.

Three position players pitched to preserve a nine-man bullpen.

Welcome to Baseball 2022.

IDK, he can't get the bat on the ball right now. He did pick two good pitches to swing at today, a middle-middle hanging slider and middle-middle FB but rolled over to short on both of them, plus took another called strike on the outside corner where a lot of pitchers have been working him. Take a flyer and call up Carpenter. What the hell could it hurt at this point? When all you have are crappy players you have to stop worrying about saving roster spots for them all.

I feel for Tork too. As for Greene, get him up here ASAP to gain the needed experience.

It was over in the 1st inning. A 3 run lead against this offense is insurmountable. (Thank you spell check)

Has any team ever pitched three position players in a single game before? That might be a record.

In our latest run of pathetic play we are in the midst of getting outscored 69-22 in our last 12 games. So even though the offense continues to to hit at a sub 2 runs per game pace the pitching staff is starting to show some chinks in their armor as well giving up roughly 6 runs a game.

Can't fault them though, it's gotta be maddening to know that one mistake likely means you aren't going to win the game. Talk about pitching on egg shells every time you go out. 

I could maybe MAYBE be ok with this pathetic play if we had a bunch of promising players down the on the farm tearing it up but that isn't the case either. When you factor in the organization from top to bottom there very well may be none that are in worse shape than ours going forward at this point.  It's a shame that after all these years of rebuilding this may be the low point for me in terms of my faith of getting back to relevance.

Well, that didn’t take long—Cubs did it just last year.

This is what we get for putting all our eggs in the right-handed starters basket

Is Jackson Jobe ready yet?.

Going all Fuhrerbunker, looks like

I feel bad for the people who paid money to go to the stadium and watch this farce.

Perhaps Hinch is going all April/May 2006 JIm Leyland on the team and tearing everybody a new one?
