Random Rangers' Player: On June 25 in 1976 he played a double header against the CHISOX at SS and doesn't have a single fielding chance. However, he goes 6/8 (and 2 BB) at the plate, 2 HR, 8 RBI and a Grand Slam.

The tantalizing prospect of taking first place in the AL Central still eludes the Detroit Tigers and that has Mark & Evan discussing the legitimacy of this team. As the baseball club attempts to claw its way up, the guys breakdown a recent demotion and who we expect to return to the mound this week.

Parker Meadows? run in June makes him an obvious candidate for promotion.
The Tigers top outfield prospect is right down the road in Toledo, just waiting for the good word.

Calling up Nevin is a joke. I'm beginning to really get worried about Harris.
First he plays Maton 1 month to long and refuses to call up Parker Meadows who can hit
Leftys. We already saw Nevin. He wasn't very good in the mlb.
May as well see if Meadows us anything.

Last 15 games in the minors Nevin has been awful at toledo.

Meadows is an outfielder. Maton and Nevin primarily play 3B. If you send Maton down you need to replace him at 3B

Boyd is out after 2/3rds of an inning, one home run, and two balls to the current batter, due to injury. Does anyone know what happened?

Did boyd get fucking hurt? is this a joke? wtf!?!

I just saw that. I have no idea, but it doesn't sound good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Holy shit Boyd and and Vest . Wtf is going on ? I just turned it on to see Hasse and schoop tie it up . I didn?t hear. Looks like vest just landed wrong on his leg. Idk.

Schoop, Short. McKinstry and Ibanez have all got starts at 3rd this year. Even Vierling has got innings there this year That's 5 guys on the current roster. They definitely dont "need" to bring Nevin back up.

We have plenty of infielders. Call up who is the most deserving.

Short, mckinstry, schoop, Ibanez probably all play a better 3rd then Nevin. Or just as good.

Nevin was mashing it at Toledo he was called up and then couldn?t hit a lick in the mlb.

Then in his 15 games back in Toledo he just hasn?t hit the ball well since going back.

Parker Meadows should have been called up. LHB who hits lefty?s at a .286 clip in 70 plus at bats I think that is what I heard.
Not sure in the at bats.

 

[gotime909]

Why is Carpenter sitting vs a lefty again? Give him some at bats

 

[biggunsbob]

Kaboom !

Ibanez 3 run Jack !

 

[biggunsbob]

Why is Carpenter sitting vs a lefty again? Give him some at bats

Agree !

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez another quality at bat. He really is struggling.

Need more runs against this team. Can?t just grove pitches damnit
That ball had hit me on it .

4-2 tigers solo shot.

 

[tomdalton22]

I really don't care who plays or gets called up. If Meadows is going to be a legit major league outfielder I would rather they let him continue to develop in Toledo this year. This team is terrible and Parker Meadows isn't going to change that.
