    Seems like we would have to be among the league leaders in shortest game times, which is an acceptable way to be awful as a team.

    The second game yesterday was the shortest 9 inning game since 2010, I think I saw.

    Malloy has 16 walks in 69 AB for Toledo. The Tigers as a team only have 46 walks in 17 games. How has he not been called up yet?

    The pitch clock might end up being my favorite pro sports rule change ever. Definitely top five based on early returns.

    His OBP is approaching .600 right now, I believe.

    Law

    The top of the draft seems to be coalescing a bit, at least in tiers of players. The top three should be LSU’s Dylan Crews, LSU’s Paul Skenes, and Florida’s Wyatt Langford in some order, with one of the position players likely going first to Pittsburgh. The next group includes the top three high school bats in Max Clark, Walker Jenkins, and Arjun Nimmala; Wake Forest right-hander Rhett Lowder; Virginia catcher Kyle Teel; and Mississippi shortstop Jacob Gonzalez.

    His defense is pretty terrible at 3B, unfortunately. Feels like Toledo needs to get him into a corner OF spot and just hope he’s not totally awful.

    Time to call him up and DFA Schoop. I would also send Torkelson and Greene to AAA

    Greene is the guy you call a bust to get clicks. Baez is the one you call a bust because he is one.

    Not sure I can wait three days for this reveal.

    True. You also could have called every player to put on the uniform over the last 7 years a bust and been right, so the stakes haven't been too high.

    yeah that one slipped through the cracks. I need to do better. I will add him along with the other guy on Wednesday.

    and in order to qualify for bust, the guy must have some type of potential at one point or be a first round draft pick. Rejects like Vierling, Matton, or 90% of our current roster don’t qualify.

    Those slugging percentages are ridiculous. Only two guys above .363 and they are the 8 and 9 hole guys.

    Imagine if he starts the day like this and ends it being called a bust by Vinegar Strokes. Tough to have a worse day than that.

    I am pleased to announce the newest addition to the bust list. Congrats to Riley Greene for striking out every at bat and being unable to hit the ball in the air. And by sucking ass, you have extended the rebuild another 5 years.

    Also, late congrats to Alex Faedo for making the list.

    Hopefully Schoop is gone. No idea who this Ibanez clown is though

    Carpenter went on the DL so Ibanez is up and Short is the extra player for the doubleheader

    I don't know what would possess a manager to pinch hit Jonathan Schoop for anyone, let alone some you're batting leadoff because he's (against all odds) been the best hitter on the team to date. I don't care if it's a lefty or righty.

    Hey Vinegar Strokes can we double down on Tork being the most certain bust from your list?

    Is Rodriguez becoming the first Tigers to potentially make his way off the bust list?

    We just need 8 more good starts from him and then we can dump his ass at the trade deadline. And then I can add whatever prospect we get back in place of him.

    I saw Jung hit two bombs and then was pulled yesterday and wasn’t in the lineup today so I assume his career is over
