Yea he doesn't fucking need an extra 6 inches on the inside corner.  FFS.

Boyd has it going.  Yikes.

If I was Kenny-Hahn I'd inquire about Boyd to see where the Tigers brass is at.

I like this guy.

Lopez has the same 6 outs and used less pitches to do it.

Jason and Stoney were just discussing Boyd, apparently Detroit is asking for a "Quintana-like return, a 1-2 [ranked prospects".

Anyone think Boyd is actually this good? I would be pissssed if my team gave up a 1 OR a 2 for him, let alone both. Probably just setting a high first price, but that seems stupid high.

Probably a reverse jinx, but Rondon is every bit as bad offensively as Yonder Alonso was. How much more rope do we give him?

At present we don't have any other backup infielders. He has a roster spot for at least several weeks. 

Why he is a regular starter at positions like DH and 1b I cannot say other than to shrug confusedly at the manager.

Eloy on the spot!

He has 3+ years of control remaining so it isn't wrong to ask for a ranked prospect or two in return for a guy like that, but Eloy was I believe consensus top 10-top 15 at the time so Eloy was worth a lot more than your standard ranked prospect.

Yolmer base hit!

It doesn't hurt to inquire. 

There's no reason to Target Boyd. This team has been shedding payroll for years with the intent of spending big in FA for holes. Don't trade your prospects yet. If they don't sign a big named pitcher this off-season, the rebuild was destined to fail anyway most likely. 

Yolmer exits after getting stepped on diving back into 1st.  Ouch.

I'm so sick of this shit.  Great job Tigers nearly throwing it away gets him injured.  Who do we even have to fucking play 2B Rondon to second?  

 

Could be broken fuck off Tigers.

The control is nice, but he has 400IP of below average pitching before this year. Has he introduced a new pitch or something else that makes this transformation likely to be permanent? If not, I'd hate to give up that much to get him.

nice now we have a lineup with way too many fucking lefties.  we are going to get shut out.

Is Rondon our only option? Do we lose our DH due to Ricky's stupid ass lineup?

Did Collins kill Ricky's dog?

looks like they went with Palka at 1B moved Rondon to 2nd.

rick's genius move of starting him at 1B actually helped.

Leury base hit!

moncada not seeing him at all, that pitch was right there to be hit.  dad gum it.

I like how you can't fullscreen MLB.tv during the break, great UI decision.

Boyd will get traded before the deadline.  Hopefully the Yankees pick him up so they aren't on Cole.

 

Palka, YIKES.

I need to smoke a bowl man this game is annoying the fuck out of me.  Get your fatass off the fucking bag Palka.
