Flipped over at half. Saw a bad throw first thing when I turned it on. Let’s get this last out.

It's vital to keep Dee Gordon off the bases because he is fast. Thanks rod, don't think to hard

Micky was interviewing the head of the UofM seattle alumni association who brought 100 uofm/tigers fans and the mic stopped working mid interview. When they resumed the interview, said it was the spartan Mario behind the scenes

That’s hysterical. Dumb play by mahtook.

Starting to have the familiar feel of a west coast trip. Can’t remem the last time Detroit has done good in Seattle or Anaheim. Would be impressive if the tigers can split the series 2-2. Next series is vs the Twins and then White Sox.

Yeah when they got their 1st win in Seattle since 2015 it tells you how rough it's been out west for them.

This is all part of this year though, I with they would fully commit though and ditch Victor for Stewart.

Commit to what? They want Stewart to be an out fielder and he is learning the position still.

Commit to kids. Everything I've read says Stewart is DH only. That's why I said clearing VMart out to make room for him.
We already have one liability in the OF we really can't have 2.

I read a while back one of the toughest jobs of a manager is how they manage the end of a veterans career. Said the younger players are watching and taking notice. You are probably right but it can’t hurt to keep him around a bit longer. April was brutal and may have impacted his numbers. Looks like he’s starting to trend up a bit as well.

That’s interesting. If you can find the link, I’d like to read that piece.

Except your long term dh is Miguel not Stewart.

Most likely this is correct. I would add that if Miggy turns saltier the Tigers might pay 85% of his salary and move him, it would be nice to know if Stewart could hit MLB pitching before that came to pass. If you keep Miggy, Stewart might have some value if he'd proven he could hit with some power.

There's no way the Tigers can go forward with Miggy, Casty and Stewart on the team. 3 DHs and one slot.

Might be a tall order but I’ll see what I can do.. It was way back when K Rod was breaking down and relating to his situation.

Which is exactly why Stewart is still in Toledo learning the outfield

If it's possible, I wouldn't argue it. I certainly don't know beyond what I've read, but no one seems to think he's even going to be an average outfielder.

Hicks hits a 2R homer in the 1st.

by aualum06 2018-05-20, 16:19

Lirano has terrible control

by aualum06 2018-05-20, 17:46

Dave Clark lol

By the time McCann rounded 3rd he looked like he was dragging a plow behind him.

He's walked at least two batters in every start, including 9 in his last three. That's not good.

by Guest 2018-05-20, 17:55

Rod and Mario doing their best to jinx him.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-05-20, 18:05

Tigers will lose. Liriano will have a rough inning and then the bullpen will blow it. #hottake

You could just see it coming. I’ve seen so many bullpen implosions at this point it doesn’t even phase me.

by aualum06 2018-05-20, 19:06

Saw this loss coming in about the third inning after they wasted opportunities to blow it open

by **steveschneider** 2018-05-20, 19:11

In a weird way this team reminds me of MSU Dantonio’s first year. Obvious holes and flaws but somehow competitive every game.

Tip of the hat to Gardenhire.
