Volpe, Corbin Carroll, Riley Greene, Josh Jung

Volpe? Seriously? Maybe Riley Greene. Josh Jung had a great April but that's one month.  Arguably Corbin Caroll but 15 teams also passed on him. 

I wonder if anyone here thought because Zavala started that Gio was all set for a great game because of all the great stats provided by the Bogus Stats Bureau .

Getting blown out in the 1st game of a must take 3 series. Nice.

I think my hope that they turned a corner and would work counts more was false.

Also, let me reiterate, we've managed 0 walks, 3 hits (2 singles), and 10 strikeouts, against Detroit pitching.

While issuing 11 walks to the Tigers tonight.

Zabala was also an automatic out tonight.

Bummer imitating Diekman.

Over time it's crystal clear who is the better catcher and works better with Giolitio.

A starter won't have his best stuff every start. Go post another 10,000 word post crying about it.

Bummer, 9.00 ERA...

Brilliant.

Welp the lefties out of the pen weren't exactly nails. This game is ova !

Bummer is a real downer.

Vaughn really needs to get it going or Sheets and Burger are gonna take his job.

Just a bad game. In reality, the Tigers aren't much better than the White Sox.

5 years/$16M (2020-24), plus 2025-26 club options

• signed extension with Chicago White Sox 2/22/20
• 20:$1M, 21:$2M, 22:$2.5M, 23:$3.75M, 24:$5.5M, 25:$7.25M club option ($1.25M buyout) 26:$7.5M club option ($1.25M buyout)

ONLY $8 million left on Bummer's deal after another $2.5 million in 2023.

$10.5 million, in total, lol.

Drafting was so awesome, wasn’t it

Just read that Madrigal was just optioned to Iowa AAA by the Cubs. Another Sox first rounder.

They showed more patience taking 11 walks.

Bummer has been a Bummer.

Let's see, Leury, Diekman, Bummer...did we eat any money with Ruiz?  Reynaldo Lopez is $3.625 million in his final Sox season.

Those 4-5 salaries combined would hopefully represent a pretty decent player if Hahn could actually pick the correct one.

Grandal we can at least get back 1/2 or maybe 2/3rd's of his salary for nothing in return but a Tier C prospect.

 

Lance Lynn

• 2 years/$38M (2022-23), plus 2024 club option
  • signed extension with Chicago White Sox 7/17/21
  • 22:$18.5M, 23:$18.5M, 24:$18M club option ($1M buyout)
  • award bonuses for top 3 finish in Cy Young vote

 

They're going to have to dump Lynn, Clevinger, Lopez, Alberto, etc, as well.

Everything must go!  Everything that's not nailed down.

 

 

Thirteen.Strikeouts.

4 Hits, 3 singles.

End the game on a double play from a 91 mph fastball DOWN THE MIDDLE.

Flat out embarrassing.

Zack Collins was hanging around somewhere at the start of the season.

Not sure if Fulmer has already retired.   Probably pitching overseas or Mexico?

 

Dayan's still hanging on in Japan, lol.

The Tigers have been playing MUCH better over the last month and it wouldn't be a shock at all to see them in first place in the Central at some point soon...especially looking at the Minny schedule.

They're really having fun together despite Miggy having been completely done 2 years ago.

Fulmer is with the Oklahoma City Dodgers!  Jesus that guy was a disappointment.

I would venture to say that Rick Hahn would have been fired already by 99% of private sector companies, due to his high failure rate and incompetence.

Agreed. Let’s see what happens with the series before we grab the pitchforks. They could still win 3 of 4 or split.

Ironic that LAD went to scout Fulmer at Vandy and ended up even more impressed with Walker Buehler.
