I'm curious what the playing time will look like in the infield once Meidroth returns

As long as Montgomery stays at SS, it should be hard to mess up.  Baldwin is likely odd man out.

Great now have to listen to United Wholesale Mortgage advertising during Tigers' broadcast lol...but they're calling it UWM like University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

At least it's not Ishbia's PE firm that would annoy Tray.

Well I'm thinking about 5 guys — Colson, Vargas, Lenyn, Mead, Meidroth — for 4 spots. Might be a matter of just rotating through 7 guys for 6 spots (add in Quero + Teel and the DH spot). 

I'd say that I am again ready for Lenyn try on an outfield glove, but that doesn't really solve any problems given that the starting 3 out there are pretty much set.

I will be shocked if Sosa plays outfield.  I think he will DH.

Tauchman is starting to fade pretty badly...

Baldwin will get some corner outfield time IMO

FWIW, Perez's average pitch velocities are 2-3mph above his season averages across the board. Some of it might be the standard gain guys get out of the bullpen, but I suppose it's a sign his elbow is in decent shape regardless. 

Perez 1.60 FIP in his comeback (just reporting the facts!)

Milwaukee on verge of a 27-4 run.

8-1 in next 9 equals crazy 1984 Tigers' season opening stretch, the year of Willie Xavier Hernandez.

Missed the trade deadline but at least it forces Cannon out of the rotation, along with addition of Gomez.

Sosa robbed twice now by Carpenter last two games...not the greatest of routes but corrected.

Montgomery into 230s.

Robert falling into some bad habits again. That wasn’t a professional at bat

If he finishes the year hitting .220 with a .650 OPS I just don't understand how you can pick up that option and make a $20M gamble he will revert back to what he was 2 years ago which seems like ages ago at this point.

Nice AB Benis. Bring out MAT to run

Pathetic at bats all day. Does Baldwin really think he’s going to get first pitch fastballs?

2 hits lol

Okay Gordon.

On radio broadcast seems like a lot of Tigers' fans there.

Damnit. B & BH going to make their 1st appearance since June 23rd.

Can't adjust fast ball first hunting strategy to anything else apparently.

Yep and a lot of second pitch fastballs taken for strikes

Looks like Vest rather Finnegan closing.

Great effort today, these guys go out last night?

All we gotta do is score 2 or more runs this inning and we go home a winner!

Mead just missed tying it
