VICTOR!!!!

5-3 Royals, top 7.

First bomb in 2 months for Martinez.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Jimenez puts us in a 4-3 hole in the 8th. Stumpf comes in to face a righty (a cock-up there on Gardy's fault), and immediately gives up a 3-run bomb.

Two pitchers on this roster do not belong on a major league roster: Drew VerHagen and Daniel Stumpf.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

8-3 Tribe final. Jimenez got charged with 3 runs, and Alcantara gave up a bomb in the 9th.

I can live with Jimenez and Alcantara get shellacked once in a while. They're kids. That's the cost of a rebuild. We knew nights like that were coming. Fine. But Daniel Stumpf is NOT a major league pitcher at this point. He should be in Toledo. Drew VerHagen should not be on a MLB roster. He was DFA'd earlier this season and no one claimed him. He's 27. He's not a prospect. I've got more patience with Stumpf than I do with VerHagen. Stumpf can get better. This is what VerHagen is going to be.

Leonys Martin to the Tribe for SS prospect Willi Castro.

I have no idea who Willi Castro is.

EDIT: 21 year old in AA. .653 OPS. Okay, fine, I guess.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Oh, and Mike Gerber has been called up to replace Martin.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Looks like Fiers to the A’s or the Brewers. Likely the A’s.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Apparently not. Fiers' contract? is the problem.

Apparently not. Fiers' contract? is the problem.

Just saw the tweet. It shouldn’t be the contract. He’s only signed through this year, and he’s arbitration eligible next year.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

No other deadline deals.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Mike Gerber gets his first RBI on a double in the 9th.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition



2-1 final.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

If I’m hearing MLB Radio properly, Mike Fiers just went to the A’s.

EDIT: Detroit News confirms. For 2 PTBNLs or cash.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Jacob Turner (remember him?) starts in Fiers’ place tomorrow night.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

OHTANI!!!!

3-2 Angels, bottom 1.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Gibby already making excuses for Iggy. Two plays, two bad-to-poor throws, at least one of which was his fault.

First 5 Angels have reached base so far.
