Good God get rid of mazara

Madrigal bloops one just past the outstretched glove

This team is going in the wrong direction heading in to the playoffs.

this idea that fans complaining about what they are seeing on the field aren't real fans is ludicrous.  As if being a fan means 100% just blowing smoke at all times.  You're lying to yourself if you're not concerned about how this team will look in the playoffs.  They might win the whole damn thing, but certainly not playing like this.

How is McCann only playing 1 of the last 5 games?

Why does everyone give our front office so much leeway here? Sign Dunn, Laroche, Keppinger, trade for Frazier, oh but sure, signing low-BA power types will work this time!

No. It won’t. Grandal is more of the same. And he was an “improvement“ that wasn’t even needed. We needed a legit RF, but we screwed that one up too.

The prospects are working out great. That’s good. But if this team signs hitters or trades for them, the bigger it is, the uglier it is.

For someone who isn't all that impressed with Grandal's OPS I'm shocked that you're sad that Todd Frazier was traded

He should be the DH

Please score here

Madrigal takes the "Kansas City Special" to a completely different level.

Would McCann's sheer presence have gotten the Tigers into the playoffs and helped the Sox advance to the second round?

Tigers have many holes, the sox had a few, Mazara and Parrot as bad or worse than 2019 options. Grandal’s bat appreciated, the argument is money was better allocated to the holes (RF and DH) which have grown deeper this season.

This is a sub-.500 team against anyone who’s not the Pirates, Tigers, or Royals. I love this team and I think they will be dynamite in coming years, but this year is probably a first round bounce.

What the fuck?

Firing on all cylinders, my god 

TA a spectator on that...

Gotta be shitting me....  

Tim not hustling there??? Still hurt or?

And now Tim doesn't hustle. Tough baseball to watch

That's just unlucky

 Anderson...You run no matter what.

TA should be on 1st

lmfao

clowns

That’s more a reaction stop by Timmy, just not a good look after the Nomar debacle.

looks like we are just going through the motions so far.  No hustle

It's a fucking miracle they took 3 of 4 from the Twins honestly.

“Trade FOR Frazier”. I was ecstatic when we turned him into Rutherford, even if Rutherford turns into nothing.
