Anderson has been a lot better than Mize. Giving us a chance.

I now have to wonder if Kerry would’ve brought the runners we left on 2nd and 3rd in?

Yeah WTF was that guys?

Torkelson is dumb. That’s what that is. He’s about the worst base runner I’ve ever watched.

So uhh…Vierling?

Honestly though…

Can’t really hit. Can’t field. Ok base runner? You wouldn’t pinch run him for someone. Not great command of the strike zone.

He has positional flexibility and bats right handed?

Perez is forcing his way back onto the team and I think maybe Vierling should be the one who goes down.

I’m also realizing that Jahmai Jones is never repeating his numbers from last year, because if he was that good of a player then he wouldn’t have been available to us like he was.

That’s all she wrote. We need to clone more McConigles.

Maybe McGonigle should start pitching like Shohei since he’s good at every baseball thing he does.

You know when you take the old dog behind the shed. It’s time Rogers.

Just sloppy baseball through much of the first ten games for the Tigers.

We are tied with the White Sox and the Twins in the standings.

It’s also worth noting that we are 3-1 when Skubal and Valdez pitch and 1-5 when anyone else pitches.

I’m a game or two away from pressing the panic button for the first time this season.

That was why I had him not making the team as last year was an outlier for him and wasn’t sure he could repeat it.

It’s a marathon not a sprint. The bottom of our pitching staff does have to pitch better but almost every staff in the league will be inconsistent in the bottom of their rotation.

I guess there’s no way we’ll continue to be that bad in games our 3, 4, and 5 starters pitch, but lack of starting pitching depth was an issue last year. Valdez has obviously helped that a lot, but past him I’m not sure how much change we should expect.

I’m overreacting with ā€œpressing the panic button.ā€ I shouldn’t have said that. I just want us to clean up some of the mistakes we’re making that are costing us baseball games at the moment. Errors, baserunning mistakes, two out nobody on and giving up runs, etc.

Yea, horrible defense

I think Mize tried to do to much after seeing how little support he got in the field and it bit him. Move on to the next one.
