Bummer. DH tomorrow.

Max Clark is your FSL Player of The Week! In 5 games Max had 9 hits in 20 at bats (.450 batting average), 5 runs scored, 9 RBI, 5 walks, 2 doubles, 1 home run and 4 stolen bases. Max now leads the Florida State League in runs scored (30) and RBI (30)

Manning probably coming up again for the doubleheader. It has to be tough to have that irregular a schedule.

Parker Meadows has been doing well in Toledo since his demotion .296 .394 .987

Why wouldn't they just continue to use Skubal and whoever was scheduled to pitch tomorrow?

Would have been Flaherty but right now there is no penciled in starter for game two.

It would seem to make more sense to keep him in tomorrow rather than Manning, rather than pushing Flaherty back a day.

I heard on the radio over the weekend that the Tigers are
14th in offense on the road in mlb.
27th in offense at home in mlb.

That was Saturday I think.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Carp went to DL. Baddoo called up.

 

[gotime909]

Baddoo gets another shot before Malloy? Fuck this unserious team

 

[byco42]

FWIW I've been swamped at work and the game threads have fallen off the radar. Thanks to Mitchrapp (and others?) for picking up the ball.

 

[gotime909]

It would seem to make more sense to keep him in tomorrow rather than Manning, rather than pushing Flaherty back a day.

No off day this week so they don't want skubal or Flaherty to pitch on short rest. I kinda get it. Manning can't pitch yet because he hadn't reported to toledo yet so they can't bring him right back. So instead they bring up a guy that hasn't even made it 5 innings in a start in the minors this year. Montero


Skubal better be on today or we could see some position players pitching

 

[gotime909]

Lol Malloy just homered for toledo

 

[byco42]

Baddoo gets another shot before Malloy? Fuck this unserious team

Maybe it's a clock-starting situation? Malloy is not on the 40-man roster.

Surprised he's not on the 40. Imo, 24 year olds should be in the majors. Assuming they're playing well in the minors. With an injury I would have brought him up..

He must be a huge liability on defense for them to not give him a look.
