Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast 99: Akil Baddoo and the new look Tigers had a fun week. 72 minutes.
The BYB staff talks baseball from a Tigers perspective.

We?re back with a look at a whole lot of fun action from the Tigers and around the league, from MLB?s opening week. We?ll start with Tigers talk. Miggy in the snow. The legend of Akil Baddoo. A pretty good first six outings for the rotation. Matthew Boyd off to a good start. Michael Fulmer as reliever. Gregory Soto?s dominance but for one spectacularly errant pitch.

Then we?ll get into the new brand of baseball A.J. Hinch is preaching, and whether he?ll stick to his guns, or fold after a few mistakes the way Brad Ausmus and Ron Gardenhire seemed to. We also must address Nelson Cruz?s utter dominance over Tigers? pitching over the past decade.

Then we?ll take the second half to look around the league at the many, many interesting stories we?ve already gotten out of the young 2021 season. We?ll talk Nick Castellanos and his quest to become swag incarnate. Jose Iglesias? ludicrous highlight reel so far with the Angels. The glory of two-way Shohei Ohtani, and much more, before our attention finally turns to Trevor Bauer, as it so often does. We have to discuss MLB seizing Bauer?s?allegedly? sticky balls, the whole strange farce of enforcing a rule that has never really been enforced before, and why Bauer may have simply made himself the lamb with his prior criticism of the Astros.

Here?s the Nick Castellanos party in Cincinnati. We?ll talk about it. Nick has a 1.610 OPS so far through six games, so you know they are loving him down on the Ohio. His Yadi quote in a classic postgame interview? ?That guy could punch me in the face and I?d still ask him for a signed jersey.? Now that Nick?s defense isn?t our problem, we love him all the more.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.

Today, we center the discussion on how fans feel about what they have seen a week into the season.

As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

The Detroit Tigers have played 7 games so far. Three wins, four losses. Two of the losses were blow-outs. One loss could have easily been a win.

It?s still very, very early in the season and no one can predict what will happen during the year. The Tigers are, however, expected to do better but with another poor showing with more losses than wins.

But there?s a new manager, new coaches and new players who are expected to up the interest factor in the team this year. Prospects have entered the equation, Miggy is back at first base and Akil Baddoo has become a national media story.

Win or lose, how are you feeling about the team overall as you watched this first week of games?

1. Enjoyed watching them.

2. Better than I thought.

3. Gives me something to do.

4. Disappointed.

Tigers right-hander Julio Teheran was throwing with low velocity while tossing a live batting practice session, and was shut down. As Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters, Teheran ?hasn?t been able to generate the arm speed that?s going to be needed for him to step into a rehab assignment.?

The veteran righty made just one start for Detroit before a shoulder strain put him on the 60-day IL back in April, so multiple rehab starts will be necessary for Teheran to ramp back up. Since it is already mid-August, however, ?we?re running out of time,? Hinch said. ?We?re going to have to determine what?s the next step for him if he?s going to make any part of the rest of the season.?
