I see a lot of similarities between JT and Hech when he first came up. A fairly nice, level swing but real trouble with pitch recognition. Adeiny perfected his opposite field approach over the past couple seasons and it's really paid off. He calls a great game and his defense is more than solid, so If he can turn into a consistent .265-.270 hitter and draw his share of walks, we could really be in for a treat.

We do not need any "personal resolve" experiments with Cischek right now.

Would you recommend Fanduel? I love the idea of fantasy baseball, but there's no way in hell I can follow it all season long.

​Not familiar with how FanDuel works, but aren't you 20 bucks in the black? lol Greedy ass

​The leash they give Latos going forward is going to be a huge factor in whether or not we succeed this year. We can't have him giving up 7 runs every other game.

​ Hmm, always wondered if he and Tommy had a thing. Don't know why, he just looks at Tommy with those "Simba, put your lion dick in me" kind of eyes. Guess not lol. On a more serious note, sad to see us so damn close to making a run. Any options for "salary dump" kind of players we could acquire that wouldn't require too much in terms of prospects, but could help out?

Urena was clutch! Realest of the deals! And AJ Recovered nicely! Great win!

REAL FUCKING DEAL!

Pisses me off so bad that he didn't even throw a single strike.

​I agree 100%. I might be wrong, but doesn't LA have a need for some pitching? It would work out for both of us since he also wanted to go to the west coast. Though not sure how sore he is over how they kinda did him a little dirt.

​I actually strongly believe that TK has earned his spot in the rotation and will continue to prove he deserves it this year so I hope he gets to keep it. Also, I think, unfortunately, that Hendo will under go TJ at some point. For the sake our contention next year, I say he should do so sooner rather than later if this UCL injury is really this serious.

​Damn you, you beat me to it lol

UFFFFF!!! Great series win, and other than the pitching yesterday, all around great play by everyone. Urena actually did really well, totally pumped to see where he goes from here.

Hech has been a completely different hitter, i don't think what we're seeing is a fluke, at all. He's probably not going to be a perennial .300 hitter, but given he consistently tries to keep the ball in the "red zone" (too soon?), and his pitch selection has increased exponentially over the past couple of years, I think he is going to be a solid piece for a long time. Or at least net us something decent lol.

#UUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

So how did Flores do?

Haha, only fitting you start your MB.com career with a "silver lining" post, since you'll be seeing a lot of those around here. Welcome to the board, pal!

These are the situations that have haunted us for years. Just one hit, come on!

Why does he even? Why does he live?

Is it just me, or has DJ been completely against challenges? I mean, I could just be noticing cause red was the leader in overturned calls this year if I'm not mistaken, but I've seen some plays these past couple of weeks where I was sure he'd be coming out and didn't.

​What about Don Kelly do you find valuable? I personally think he's not good, just became beloved by tigers fan because he was a part of some very good teams. Almost the way we feel about Mike Mordecai. He's our "Mordy", but he was never good lol.

I was following on Gameday. How did A.J. look in the ninth? I know he gave up the single and double, but sometimes they're bloopers / broken bat hits.

Pick'm up!!!! Emergency catcher.

​ Exactly what I'm saying. Jesus christ Yelich is so out of it lol

Anyone else feel they're playing Mlb the show with Karros calling the game? lol
