He just is not cutting it.

I really think the platoon should be between Reimold and Rickard. Our best player (sans Manny) is sitting on the bench. I can't stand that. Kim should not be platooned, it's just silly. Reimold hasn't looked good at all lately,

so maybe it's time to start Rickard in right field for awhile until he cools off and then start getting Nolan back in.

Really Buck, Gausman back out there the leash better be real short.

Again, no reason to let Gausman start that inning. None and it always just puts more pressure on your reliever having to come in and pitch immediately from the stretch rather than start an inning. All the time.

Don't mind the not being a homer part or the criticism of stupid plays, just a little too much praise for the Bobby Wilson types.

Well, it was pretty surprising that he was able to prolong that AB and make contact with that curveball during that AB to keep it going. It was a superb AB IMO. Doesn't mean Wilson is anything special overall, but it was a

very good AB.

Just not good enough and I thought he started out with electric stuff. Hes GOT to learn how to limit his pitches and get the big out.Certainly didnt do it tonight.

Seems like he needs to learn how to pitch, period. Still just a thrower.

Why is he still just a thrower?

He has erratic command, no good secondary pitch and falls apart when any pressure applied. He is never going to win games like this.

    • Getting to hear Jason Benetti, Carlos Pena and Kirk Gibson some of the afternoon was a treat. It was new to me earlier this year Gibson is still broadcasting almost a decade after his Parkinson's diagnosis...good for him. Benetti dumping the White Sox for the Tigers gives me some Miller to San Francisco vibes...he is excellent. Baseball as entertainment - it is wonderful that Carlos Pena, literally the player pushed aside so Scott Hatteberg could play offense more efficiently, has become a strong SABR-oriented analyst.
    • I don't think the rookies get to pick what the wear.  I 100% am sure the vets are picking these outfits.  
    • I’d be shocked if the O’s do better than 2-4, and I’m half expecting them to go 1-5.
    • Worst female impersonator ever!
    • I watched the inning where the Tigers scored their 2 runs.  Our friend Meadows had two check swings that easily could have been called strikes, but instead he walked to load the bases.  Carpenter popped out but then Perez had an insane at-bat where he fouled off a ton of pitches, wasn't fooled by anything, and then delivered a bases loaded double which proved to be the difference. Our guys would likely have whiffed on just about every pitch in those at-bats, but their guys have a crazy amount of confidence right now and it has served them very well.   I do think they have a good chance of winning out and ending with 88 just based on who they play, which means we have to go 3-3 this week or we are out of the 4 spot.  Hopefully their luck will finally run out against us (assuming we can win enough to get in), but if it doesn't, I would love to see them knock out the Yankees.
    • If they played baseball another month maybe. Elias has been pretty much no comment on anything other than time is not on his. His last Lat issues had him control problems ( I Believe ) when he first came back. I'm just happy to have the others back.
    • 6 games left, they haven’t won more than one game in a series since the beginning of the month (against the White Sox for context). I see no reason to think they’ll do any better than 2-4 for remainder of the season.    Plus, i said it “feels” like. It’s an emotional response, not an analytical one. I’m going off the premise that they’ve been an absolute mess for quite a while and a playoff spot seems like a weird place to be for a team that’s played .400 ball since the All Star Break.  They could sweep the rest of the season, who knows? Just saying it feels bleak.
