It's Miller Time!

Nah theyll probably play Jake Bauers every day.

I was busy all day, tuned in, saw the one pitch, (that dinger) turned off the tv.

WTF has happened to Bieber? Justin, is that you?

He misses Perez catching. That's a very underrated aspect of the game, the pitcher/catcher relationship.

Hedges seems to be a good catcher (he’d better be the way he hits)...I know some guys just click, I guess I expected the two would be better together

It's Miller Time!

Hell of a way to make the organization make the move that they probably should have done a few weeks ago. Reyes has to go down with an injury for Miller to come up

Hedges is regarded as a pretty good defensive catcher, but yea at the plate he makes Perez look like a silver slugger

Didn't realize he's dealing with a catcher change. Definitely requires an adjustment period, if nothing else.

that was a rough loss today. All 8 twins runs came from 2 meltdown innings.

Rather than “rough loss” I think it fits the definition of “team loss.” Bad fielding, poor clutch hitting and multiple pitching mistakes by starter and pen....if the Indians had been playing a decent team that game wouldn’t have been close.

In spite of recent series dominance by the Indians, Detroit is actually favored to beat Cleveland today. I'm sure that is because Turnbull has had a no-hitter recently while Hentges has been all over the map.

As a side note, this year is the one where the trading of four starting pitchers in recent years is showing up to be a problem. Logan Allen was getting roughed up before being demoted. McKenzie has been bad, he needs to gain significant strength and muscle before he is going to be a true big league starter. Hentges can't handle being in a big league rotation yet, either. These guys just are not able to sustain quality pitching for 5-6 innings on every 5th day. Not sure why they are still bringing Quantrill out of the pen in low leverage situations, as I see him in the rotation as being preferable to both Hentges and McKenzie.

Hentges earns another start kinda, Bauers goes 3-3.... Clase turns in a borowski, but a dub is a dub

 

[AKAK]

Also, Bob Fellers WAR was over 63.... And he missed basically 3.75 seasons. Just... You know, mentioning that

And miller time!

Duh!

 

[DZ83CK]

Plesac broke a finger taking off his shirt and is on the IL. Can't make this stuff up.

Can never forget Borowski leading the league in saves but also having a 5 era
