Remember when Story came back and struck out a bunch in his first two games and a bunch of people freaked out? That was funny. His cold start was over an extreme SSS. His hot streak has also been through an extreme SSS. The last few days have been encouraging but it's good not to get carried away in either direction.

I hope this doesn't come back to bite me, but for all the talk of Story's strikeouts since coming back, he's the only guy in the lineup to not strikeout today

And $2.2 million lower AAV over those 6 years. Availability is important. It lead to the SH-T show I watched for most of the season in the middle. I was never a fan of X on defense and I wouldn't have paid him what he got paid. Just saying signing Story hasn't been great yet. Not that it won't be. Just like the other SS signings. If Story gets a hamstring/quad strain or some crap like that, I’m right there with you. But this was a pre-existing elbow issue, he’s not made of glass like Tulowitzki, I don’t think this will be like the Sale experience but time will tell!

How stupid with the play in front of you and down 3 runs. I guess nobody knows how to play the game anymore.

6-4 with the tying run at the plate if Urias doesn’t make that sick tag
Defense matters!

Looks like Carpenter was a 19th-round draft pick of the Tigers in the 2019 draft. What a find.

T-story might be better than X (I kid with SSS, but the FA SSs have all shit the bed outside of Dansby) I know you said you’re kidding but honestly what are the odds he has a better season than Xander next year? Like 40% or something? It wouldn’t be a shock if he did.

6-4 with the tying run at the plate if Urias doesn’t make that sick tag Defense matters! Defense matters and running the bases matters. Detroit should have 2 runs with 2 outs and a guy on second. This is the crap with the Sox that has driven me nuts all year. Nice to see other teams doing it.

From the couple of games I have seen him at SS he looks good to me. Time will tell!

6-4 with the tying run at the plate if Urias doesn’t make that sick tag Defense matters! Somebody has to ask: what are the chances our regular 3rd baseman makes that play? I'll go first: zero

Late on this but Whitlock looks like he’s back in nasty relief pitcher form. My personal favorite acquisition Bloom ever made (mostly because we stole him from the Yankees).

Yeah if he finishes this season strong including good defense at short stop it’ll be closer to a coin flip. I'd go 75%. 60% if Bogie solves the wrist issue in the offseason.
