Kansas City spent money. In the off season and they are 31-19. Tigers cut payroll and didn’t reinvest Miggy’s money and we are 23-24. I’m just frustrated. Hopefully we can Turn it around. I really thought we would contend for the division this year.

Today the 10 game winning streak starts !

Spencer hit his 4th home run of the season last year on May 20th in a 5-2 loss at Washington.

so he's only one off his pace from last year.

Greene only had 3 up to this point last year, so he is 6 ahead of his pace.

I didn't realize that he hasn't been playing. Glad he's gone.

Lol
And the Tigers spent way less than KC in the off season and one team has 31 wins and the other team has 23 wins. Strange season continues.

Sports should never be frustrating.. If you enjoy it you watch/listen if not you shouldn't..

Reese Olson was moving around much better in clubhouse after game. He said Massey's liner hit him between hip and thigh. He said he tried to continue but his leg felt unstable during his warmup throws, prompting the exit.

That's good news. He looked like he was about to cry out there. I don't blame him...that had to hurt like a MF'er. Watching him out there after he got hit...he looked like a high school kid at the most. He looks like he is 16 years old! He has that baby face.
