Guardians...what a terrible name.

 

[kalinecountry]

AJ Hinch never had a losing season with the Astros. After 6 straight losing seasons they went 86-76 in his first year.
Tigers have had a losing record 5 of the last 6 years. Now they?re 57-60 & Hinch has them climbing. This man is the real deal.

On May 1 who could have imagined after four years of being subjected to the baseball grift of the century? Tigers fans and Al Avila would be rescued by AJ Hinch and his staff.. and after 4 years of incompetence once again being a
Tigers fan would fun.

Do you think Al whispers to Chris .. this is all me.. my special plan ..Hinch? works for me..it?s all coming together.. like I told you..

One thing that impressed me about Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson today, in addition to the homers: Both guys have patient approaches and use the big part of the field. Not just turning and burning.

As we tweeted yesterday, it was no surprise that Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera didn't play yesterday despite promises. There were just too many reasons - all valid - to try to have him do it at home. But one reason wasn't even discussed....

The Field of Dreams game was last night. It sucked all the attention away from the rest of baseball. Also the "must see tv" national game between MVP candidates Otani and Guerrero. If Miggy had hit #500 last night, it wouldn't have received the amount of attention it deserved.

Meanwhile, back at Comerica, tickets for the next week, esp. for seats in the outfield, are going fast. As of last night, tickets are going for twice their usual price because the Tigers practice dynamic pricing which is based upon demand.

Totally Tigers

Looks like Boyd may be back soon. Had a rehab start in Toledo. It is probably his first start. Pitched 2 innings.
