Tigers vs Nationals: July 1-3

Enns starts tomorrow.
But at this point after Enns and Gipson Long on the DL, not really sure. Olson, in my mind is ready, yet, I think Hinch may be waiting to after the AS break to bring him back.

I heard the post game interview with Hinch after game one and his interview earlier this week on Sirius and seems like they are really cautious with the guys.
Hinch brought up the the weather, all the high heat games they’ve been in as of late, the rain delays and how they are really being cautious with the players.
I think that is why you are seeing more Rogers and others getting playing time to the dismay of some, they are trying to keep the players in strong playing shape as they go through that.

Well he has like a .938 OPS over the entire season, so he at least should be an all star.

I had to call in a sick day. Nate gives us each 3 per year.

On July 1st we had the biggest division lead any Tigers team has had in history. Bigger than the 84 team.

We don’t suck.

− Reese Olson’s next start will be in the major leagues, and likely this weekend in Cleveland, Detroit Tigers manager, A.J. Hinch said Wednesday, July 2, ahead of the team’s doubleheader with the Nationals.

“His next outing is going to be in the big leagues,” Hinch said. “Unlikely to be here in Washington. He’s doing fine, just kind of waiting to be activated.”

Olson hurt his finger in mid-May and was put on the injured list with inflammation. The right-handed pitcher threw 74 pitches in four innings on June 25, for Triple-A Toledo his third rehab start.

Mize is quietly having a great year. A 2.86 ERA, and a 1.21 whip is something.

Olson provides a very similar stat line when healthy, and Flaherty seemed to find something in the 4th and 5th inning yesterday.

My point is that our pitching staff is very good. Most other teams should be jealous.

Agreed.
Coming into the season Flaherty was slotted as the #2 SP on the staff, at the halfway point he is the #4.
Skubal #1
Mize #2
Olson #3
Flaherty #4
Bulk reliever #5 Either Enns, GipsonLong(when back), Hurter

We’re now only 1.5 games up of Houston for the #1 seed. Hopefully Olson comes back soon and finds some consistency.

I honestly don’t care about getting home field advantage. I mean, for bragging rights it’s cool, but the advantage is almost nothing in baseball…imo.
