Still don't think Eloy will hit .270+ @BackDoorBreach?

Detroit announcers were discussing the young pitcher they just brought into the game.  Said he had good stuff but didn't like his pace.  That has always been a big bugaboo for me.  If a pitcher is lousy...at least be lousy quickly.  Why prolong the agony.

I'm going to give Abreu credit there. His defense is bad, but that was a great pick.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

Or close the wall up with our English dead.

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man

As modest stillness and humility:

OMG 3 hits for Palka . Palk Smash !

Palka rubbing it in now.  3 hits would have seemed impossible before the game.

aka playing the Tigers

Detroit announcers slobbering all over Sanchez.  Calling him the captain of our infield.  I smell a trade partner.

Ricky making sure Eloy doesn't hit for the cycle tonight.

Yolmer also with 4 hits tonight. What's in his jock ?

Goins in for Anderson.  Ricky protecting Timmy a bit?

Needs a job for next year.  Can't be screwing around now.

This was a game to empty the bench in the late innings. No big deal.

I'm bought in on TA, Moncada, Cease, Eloy, Gio. 

The main person I'm all about now is Collins. I want him to solve our LH OBP problem.

I think I might have jumped the gun on him. It would be huge to have him be an actual MLB player. I don't think he's going to catch, but he could DH or play 1B. Next year they can experiment with him at 1B and if he's a player that gives them options with Vaughn as a trade chip. 

You start off by saying you might have jumped the gun on Collins and then IMMEDIATELY write off his catching.  Didnt he catch Thursdays game...when people said he was a terrible hopeless catcher...and yet a bunch of garbage pitchers held hot Twins bats to one run? Wouldn't his bat look great at catcher? 

Moncada just looks so good at 3rd.  A natural.
