@HonoluluBlues_ I'm wondering if it was just so late that the officials in NY had gone to sleep. Since no one was working the replay booth, they just went with what was called on the field.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@TigersData The one from last night was to get McGonigle a fresh at bat vs someone other than Hancock. He had already struggled against him and was down 0-2.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@MikeFer75182733 @bythewaybro Miller is actually on the 40 man, so it isn't our of the realm of possibility. However, he has never pitched above AA. Harris did say that they though internal candidates would have a chance. I believe that means Flaherty, JV, Brieske, SGL and Jobe. But who knows.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@NatSparbeck Agreed. I think they are hoping that JV can come back, and, if so, he and Ryan will take the 2 open spots and Montero and Jobe will go to the bullpen. I would also look to maybe see Sears and SGL come up, as well. Especially if Sears gets a spot on the 40 man.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@BenVerlander Flaherty took his player option because he wasn't going to get $20M anywhere, especially after going 8-15 with a 4.64 ERA last year. He's still here because no one else wanted that albatross of a contract for a guy who is 3-8 and looks like he's arguing with himself on the mound

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@TigersData I don't think he's punting. Not saying it won't be more difficult, but I am thinking the rotation/long arms in the BP will be something like Valdez, Melton, Keider, Flaherty, Gibson-Long, Jobe, JV, and hopefully Jake Miller or Sears.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@Wolffman96 I wish more players would bunt vs the shift.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@Stallion2011 @BenVerlander And then in Skubal’s case, watch that same GM give 2x what they were saying you were worth to…<check notes>…Framber Valdez.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@Stallion2011 @BenVerlander The GMs for both teams put the screws to their best player/captain in contract negotiations and then wonder why neither want to stick around.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@KoreaPistonsFan Rough year but please tell me you have a jersey of Compher, Rasmussen and Vierling

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@MoccBomb Welcome (back) to Detroit, Jim Jarvis

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@2thebigs Oh, I thought you were going to say he was traded to the Dodgers, too! :)

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@electricsnuff Because the man who controls the purse strings is a cheapskate.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@Miggysbat @detveverybody01 Just like none of us know that “it was a clear indication that he didn’t want to be here”. Look at how CI runs both of his teams. Lowball your best players to pinch pennies. Truth is:If you can pay Valdez $38M you can pay Skubal $40M.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@DALLASBRADEN209 I dont know why more players don’t bunt vs the shift

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@DarkoStateNews You don't know what else was offered. It is entirely possible that someone offered better futures, but Harris wanted someone who could step into the rotation that was a lesser prospect. While Ryan is a top 100 player, he is 28 coming off TJ. So basically he is an unproven Mize.

[Peter Bryant @CoachPBryant20]

@the_det_times @ragazzoreport Tigers are going to get back 25 year old #17 prospect Jim Jarvis as the headliner if Harris has anything to do with it.
