What on earth is Tim thinking

Had to be tagging up right away.

Lost all his momentum running back then trying to pivot on a dime.

Isbel with a great throw too.

 

 

Could be back to 5-3-1 games over for three division leader.

Maybe no big moves will be a right kick in the ass they need?

Twins down again late...last night they rallied off Fulmer, now in the opposite dugout.

I went for a run. Are we happy or are we mocking cheering? I’d be for mocking cheering. Mock Grandal and Moncada and cheer on the rest.

Fat chance TLR runs the same lineup up there tomorrow. 

Looks at schedule ...... it's a day game.   Sigh

Ball go far, team go far. 

BTW I'm not against Abreu coming back but you can't have Abreu, Vaughn and Eloy on this team next year. 

I know which two I'd take. 

If it’s not Abreu and Vaughn, is it cuz Vaughn has more trade value than Eloy?

I would’ve left Diekman out there for one more inning.

Well hopefully not since Rober will be here

Moncada experiment hitting second and fifth needs to end.  Both him and Grandal when he plays should not be higher than 7 th until they show some life.

Eloy looks like he's really having fun tonight.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

It's actually Vaughn and Eloy. 

As hard as it is to let Jose go, father time is undefeated. Better to let him go too early than too late.

Probably will need him tmrw as well.

Welcome to the AL central, where you get to play a lot of games against bad teams and even do well against them from time to time.

At least he's faced AL hitters.

Grandal should be the backup for the remainder of his deal.

Nelson Cruz really hit a wall these last two years.

Hopefully that means Seby and Robert will play tomorrow, much better than Grandal and Sheets

Josh becoming a fixture like a Sloan valve.

Seby will cool down again (eventually) and his defense will become a more acute issue again.

Eloy looked bad ass last night in the black SS jersey. I hope they drop the '83  jerseys on Sundays and go with the black.

Good.  Yoan, Tim and Yaz should get a rest then.

Didn't Seby get some yips last year where he was struggling to catch and had to be sent down (I think around the field of dreams game)? Yeeesh if that happens again.

Diezman with a very successful outing.  Hahn extremely happy.

They should sign another solid catcher this winter. Someone who they're ok starting, and taking over in 2024.

Thankfully Tigers still have Jimenez and Soto...now 5-3 after a big three run rally.

Probably jinxed lol.

Particularly with the Black Panther coming back as well.

We think Tony awake enough to let Banks finish this one, or he gonna burn useless reliever innings per usual?

And changed to German passport.

Since a disastrous May that led to another IL stint, Kelly has a 4.3 ERA, 1.4 WHIP, 12 K/9 and seems to be trending in the right direction. Could be a very valuable piece these last two months.
