I guess we can view this time as low pressure testing of all the random pieces in order to see who gets their season together, and who proves to be easy to dump or demote.

What a terrible Pick up Montero is. Hanifee had a 3.10 era and he was sent done for this crappy pitcher. Harris trade deadlines have really been subpar.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well is Cleveland comes back only down 2-0 the lead will be down to 7. Losing to this shit team.

Come on offense wake up. If Torres is out for a long time this could be bad.

While it feels rotten, if Harris wasn’t going to go for top picks and bargain shop, we might as well test them out and eliminate them if they don’t quickly prove to be worthy of demoting Hanifee. In the meantime, hope that Olson heals quickly.

Jake and Keith, and carpenter
4 pitches and 3 outs.
Kerry hit the ball hard. At least.

Hey Matt try doing that with runners on base next time.

Well Hanifee was the only guy with options left I think. Sadly he was odd man out.

Terrible offense

 

[nydo77]

As for the lineup, I don’t see a lot of answers until they start gaining some experience and incorporating more intelligence (or basic pitch recognition) into their approaches.

I think they could have sent Hurter down, but maybe not right at this moment, since he was down there recently?

Melton's reward for 7 shutout innings in his last start........8 days of sitting and shoved into the pen for mop up innings. **** AJ

 

[biggunsbob]

Right on cue Cleveland goes up the Mets 2-2.

I just hate that they do this. I guess it’s an innings thing.

Gotta move through all the new acquisitions and see if they can do what they were traded for. They also want to limit his innings (save his arm for postseason?).

 

[biggunsbob]

Need a 7 spot !

 

[gotime909]

Silver lining is that Melton will be our best reliever as soon as aj pulls his head out of his ass.

 

[gotime909]

Limiting innings is assine. Every guy detroit has done that with ended up getting tommy john.

 

[tigermud]

I don’t blame AJ for what’s occurring with the usage and shuffling of roster due I blame Harris for acquiring nothing much better than what we already had

Well, it might be more strategic if he made it through this season before developing problems.

 

[biggunsbob]

This team just has no excitement. Unless skubal pitches it seems.
No energy

 

[nydo77]

Rain delay?
