Who in teh american league is manager of the year?

Maybe Cora but they likely give it to TLR, especially given the injuries.

TLR basically left Fry out there to die. 

Definitely does that with his bullpen.

Bummer warming up....what a joke

I disagree.  I don;t think we are in first place with another manager.  The amount of injuries that have happened, I'm not sure another manager would have been to get that out of these guys in the first half.  Even if it's something as simple as getting guys into the outfield who had never played before.  TLR will win manager of the year pretty easily.

Its ok. Premature Exclamations happen to a lot of men.

Let me get this straight...Bummer was available and you had Fry out there after he gave up the first 2 base runners?

2 on, nobody out.  I love punting winnable games...

Is it punting a game because the offense cannot score?  At some point the the focus needs to move from the manager and the bullpen and be placed where it belongs, on the offense and the inability to consistently have good at bats.  

This is the third game in five days where our superstars are nowhere to be found.

So who do you blame the manager and the bullpen. 

The offense cannot open a lead and if they do, they cannot build upon it.  The same bullpen arms cannot pitch every game. 

Tigers have more singles and doubles than Tinder right now.

This is an actual Jason Bennetti quote from the bottom of the 7th inning of today’s broadcast.

We should have just kept the AL Manager of the Year from last year haha

Should be Cash.  Winning that incredible division is an achievement.

This offense sucks. I am not blaming the bullpen for this one. SCORE MORE RUNS.

Dude we are 10 games up.  We could be in first place with you as manager.

we have 7 starters in and it's pretty awful that this is probably true

Top of the lineup just hit and the bottom of the order hasn't done shit. This game feels over despite Detroit throwing AAAA pitchers out there.

They’re facing pitchers that shouldn’t be in the majors

The Sox? Absolutely.

Manager of the Year has always been and always will be a bullshit award.

We needed an upgrade.  Too bad we didn't get one.

Now he brings in Bummer, what great managing

Are we resting the whole bullpen today for the playoffs?  Why is Fry still in the game facing all these righties?  It’s clear TLR isn’t going all out for this win.  It is embarrassing.  Too little too late.

So if Bummer was available then why the fuck did he not start that inning?!

Here comes 31-31 since the all star break

Especially when most people think there's no way they get the game in tomorrow. This shit is baffling.

Tony loves trying to get extra innings out of his relievers and tries to push his luck. We got lucky when the Tigers didn't score last inning so of course Tony had to push his luck.
