Tiger rule after a walk next guy swing at first pitch and make out
 
There is no point in bringing up Candelario unless he's gonna play. What's the point of him missing out on valuable at bats or, more importantly, valuable time in the field. This team is just horrible with young talent.

Tigers have grid lock for brains.
 
Honestly, after the start this year I thought Mahtook was a piece of shit. He's having a nice season.
