Just Bunt! Don’t understand why this team refuses to do that in extras. Especially with Harrison up. Not to mention the tigers aren’t exactly sound defensively

Thank god Baez has 0 baseball IQ

You mean the team leader in HR’s? It’s literally the entire lineup and it makes 0 sense

This offense is taking years off of all of our lives. So frustrating to watch

Great play AJ…now if only he could hit. Hopefully we have the roster next year where he can be a very good 4th OF’er that gets used a lot

I was fine using Lopez…but bringing in Graveman is def unnecessary.

I seriously might be able to power walk faster than Yaz can run. That was painful to look at

Of course I miss the beginning of the game and don’t get to see the team hit HR’s

Pretty unbelievable how bad Kelly has been with how nasty his stuff can be.

Eloy still running like he’s afraid to hurt himself

Is it the coaching/approach or has age caught up to Jose and he’s lost power? Unfortunately that’s a tough call…especially with the entire team lacking power #’s

If we don’t comeback it’s going to be the final (for about the 6th time) nail in the coffin of this season

Luis still shouldn’t be playing. Sadly there’s no other decent options, but pretty obvious he can’t swing a bat normally

Going to have to score some runs real quick. Bullpen has to be fairly thin after using 4 guys for an inning yesterday? Cease is going to be lucky to get thru 6 at this rate

6-9 of that lineup could be really rough, not a lot of promise with Romy being the best option

Yeah between guys like Eloy and TA a lot of people here show their true colors when talking about them. Obviously a fan can criticize a players on field performance all they want, but when the critique is about how a player is dressed or about their personality there’s definitely something else going on.

Great offensive game so don’t want to complain…but at what point do they give up on Sheets just because he’s a lefty? I’d rather see Romy play the OF at this point. Or if the mysterious Robert wrist injury doesnt heal call Payton back up. Or just go with Colas, he has nothing left to prove at AA.

Gotta feel for whatever fans they have tho. The ownership should for sure be forced to sell. A $53M payroll is an absolute joke.

Andrus at 2B and put Romy in the OF and stop DH’ing Yaz and Sheets. Romy has only played a few innings in the OF corners, but can’t possibly be worse than Eloy, AV and Sheets. Probably makes us too RH heavy, but it’s not like Sheets or Yaz are exactly killing the ball against righties. Ride the hot hitters

Go sit down Eloy, that’s embarrassing

Yoan showing signs of life? Sure would be great to get production from him down the stretch

I don’t want Tony back, nor do I think he should…but the idea that the players are suddenly going to start playing worse just because Tony is sitting in the dugout is pretty silly. It’s not like Cairo’s in game decision making has been any better, or Tony took Menechino with him. The team has mostly been the same fueled by great pitching and 3 outlier games where they scored some runs. Not to mention 1/2 of this roster is playing for their jobs, they can’t afford to worry about who’s sitting in the dugout

Absolute miracle we won that game by 3, but I’ll take it. Nice to see Liam with good stuff too

I guess, and maybe I sound like a jerk, but a simple eye test shouldn’t be that difficult. At some point there was a fairly large % of the fan base (or at least this board) that were slotting the likes of Palka, Delmonico, Salindino, Mcann and others in the lineup long term. Just a bit weird to me. Maybe it’s just hopelessness for a sorry franchise that it seems like there’s no choice but to root for these guys that have a couple of decent months?

For some reason a portion of this board loves falling in love with mediocre (at best) players. I won’t be shocked if Sheets can’t find work in the majors within the next 2-3 years.
