He caught a routine flyball in the 2nd and they showed him wincing as the ball hit his glove.

Perhaps the legacy of his collision with the wall after catching the fly ball by Jake Burger on Sunday?

"He told us in the first inning that he had some discomfort in his lower left leg, but he wanted to stay in the game,? Tigers manager A.J. Hinch.

Texas was freaking 68-94 last season and now they are 35-18. Did they spend money on free agents or did they just hit on every damn prospect ? Makes zero sense why the tigers can?t win the crappy central division. The tigers ownership is just not very good.

Coulomb is right the tigers just seem cursed.

Totally Tigers

Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.

Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you back in actual offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom ? as you talk to your co-workers.

Here is today?s topic??..

After a horrendous April start, the Tigers have been playing over .500 baseball and have been sitting in 2nd place in the AL Central. Through Monday?s contests, they remain 2 games under .500. They have yet to reach .500.

The MLB trade deadline is in 2 months. How should the Tigers handle it should they remain in contention for the AL Central title and/or a wild card slot?

Will you consider them to be serious contenders or would you simply want them to perform as best as possible and see where it gets them? Will the fact that the AL Central?s reputation as the weakest one impact your decision?

Or is it time for the Tigers to stop trading off their talent?

On the other hand, do you think the trade deadline is a chance for the team to make a jump in acquiring talent? Will trading off certain players help them take a bigger step towards contending next year? Could they solve some current roster problems or receive multiple players in return who will strengthen the roster?

It?s unlikely that the Tigers will be buyers in the traditional sense ? trading off young, promising talent to get an established well-known player. They are not at that point yet.

So the question to ask is whether they should be sellers or should they stand pat for the most part? Should they trade off some talent in order to strengthen their future roster or should they retain their stronger players so they may help the team compete for the rest of the year?

What should the Tigers do by the trade deadline?

1. They should be sellers.

2. They should stand pat.

They committed $264M to their starting rotation. They added 3 quality starting pitchers and signed one of their own to a contract.

Jacob DeGrom $185M
Nathan Eovaldi $34M
Andrew Heaney $25M
Martin Perez $20M

The Tigers spent $18.5 M on Matt Boyd and Michael Lorerzen. :cheers:

Don't forget E Rod went on the DL just before the game too.
