Guys don't be mean to the Tigers, I mean, at least they're not the Lions!

These relief pitchers are getting marched out into a wood chipper one by one. Get some value out of Miggy, make him pitch. Or maybe Jared Goff.

I have a theory: MLB, not satisfied with suspending Hinch for cheating, decided the real punishment would be managing this Tigers team. That will learn ‘em. Omg, Manfred, you are on tonight....lol lol lol lol 😂 They should make him manage the Tiger for three years as Miggy has, I believe, around $30 million for this year and a couple more, so the stinking should continued for a while longer.

Seems like Pivetta takes an inning or two to get his mechanics locked in.

I like this Grossman guy. Hopefully he gets another chance with an ML team.

Weird line for Pivetta tonight. ERA of 5.40, but a FIP of 1.11 and an xFIP of 1.82. The FIP and xFIP were driven down by the .500 BABIP and 8 K's. He had two BBs.

I like these games against Boston College, but I thought that was only in early March? I always feel like games against the worst teams in the league are high pressure, though. Winning 2/3 wouldn't be good enough. A contending team has to sweep and pile up wins against teams like this. I guess that's how opponents felt about the 2020 Red Sox.

If Renfroe could play against the Tigers and Rangers 162 times, I would definitely be eating crow about saying he sucks.
Add: Renfroe’s homer off Farmer... lowered his ERA.

I just checked Miggy's Fangraphs page and I didn't realize the production was so bad for a while now. Starting in 2017 he's totaled -0.2 fWAR....yikes. He's signed for two more years with vesting options in '24-25. And compared to Pujols he’s a bargain I know you're being cheeky, but Pujols has an OPS 200 points higher and is in the last season of his deal. Cabrera is signed through 2023.

...now the Red Sox can DFA Brice and slip him through......his ERA just doubled
Red Sox score 9 and Barnes might need to come in for a save

Annnd a game that was a blow-out is suddenly a bit tense.

Mighty sportin’ of Alex. He’s like “hey, AJ... ‘member when we cheated together? Good times. Here, have a chance in this game. His name is Brice.”
