[TigersPR] We have recalled RHP Tyler Owens from Triple-A Toledo to join the first major league roster of his career. Owens will wear uniform #62. RHP Kenta Maeda has been designated for assignment.​

I almost feel bad for maeda.

Its like the wheels fell off as soon as he put on the "D".

He played decent enough in the pen when he was moved last season but this year every time where it looked like he was going to have a good outing it all went bad.

Tigers losing fan favorite reliever to Nationals might complicate Kenta Maeda plan

The Detroit Tigers' decision-making needs to be scrutinized after they just let Andrew Chafin leave and sign with the Nationals.

Wonder why Chafin moved on ? Why not bring him up over Owen ?
Just curious.

 

[biggunsbob]

Both teams nothing in the 1st.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize gives up a solo Homer followed by a double

Just curious.

We need right hand quality in the bullpen; the balance is off.

Baez ties game up 1-1

Ok

 

[nydo77]

The sinker isn’t working tonight.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jeez. Guess Mize is off tonight

 

[nydo77]

He is pretty wild.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize gets the ground ball for 2 outs then promptly walks the next batter.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney just cant hit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Malloy batting .179. (I’d rather see carpenter)
Sweeney Batting .194. (Move Baez back to as as soon as anyone outfielder comes off the dl)

 

[biggunsbob]

When is Ibanez going to hit leftys again ? Such bad luck. Hits a first pitch and cant get it high enough. Line out to 3rd.
No he is under ..200 again batting .196 .

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize clean 5th. Come hitters maybe this could be like a Jack Morris start. Mize didnt have his best stuff but battled.
Find some damn hits.

What inning did Baez make that catch ? Did it just happen ?
What a catch ? Like Meadows.
