It's "expected" at this point. So there's hope it will get better before game time? :shrug:

Still annoyed that Carpenter isn't getting any reps vs LHP

Small sample size, but his splits of RHP/LHP are not all that large. So, yes, I agree.

How many more wins would the Tigers have if they still had Jeimer Candelario at third base ?

He has 10 homers and 24 doubles in 74 games this season. Yeah he had a bad season last year but so did every other tiger. Switch hitter. I still don?t get moving on from him.

At least 4-6 in my opinion. Tigers have three 2-1 losses and two 1-0 loses. They are 12-9 in one run games but who knows how many of those 9 losses Could be flipped ? You may be right but I would take JC over Maton in any day.

 

[biggunsbob]

Boyd moved to the 60 day DL. Needs tommy John surgery sadly.


Will Vest also is heading to the 15-day injured list because of a right lower-leg strain.


In corresponding moves, the Tigers recall left-handed pitcher Anthony Misiewicz from Triple-A Toledo and reinstated pitcher Matt Manning from the 15-day injured list. Manning was listed as the starting pitcher for Tuesday's matchup against the Texas Rangers.

I agree with wanting JC over Maton...Maton is a turd. But 4-6 games out of a single player is a lot

Boyd was a dumb signing to begin with. We knew exactly what he was but Harris thought he was the smartest guy in the room.
