@Castellani2014 I was just coming here to say the same thing, no kidding. Everything about this reminds me of Maeda.

Great guy, great story, but the sooner they release him the better.

@Castellani2014 Cora....

@Castellani2014 I guess we should count ourselves lucky that Meadows only made two outs in the seventh and not somehow all three. And I hope this is the end of Leadoff Kerry. FFS.

@Castellani2014 Feels like the end of 2025 already. JFC.

@Castellani2014 This inning is the Tigers on the head of a pin, good and bad: Kerry is probably not the answer at leadoff, Gleyber is a pro, Keith is improving (I hope), and Tork just. Cannot. Hit. With. RISP.

@Castellani2014 Push comes to shove - who do they sign from free agency to give the offense what it needs?

@ModeledBehavior Unpopular opinion: I'm a language teacher who wrestles with the implications of this. It's become the case that for all but a small number of employment niches, it's largely a luxury to possess more than one language if you already speak competent English.

@Castellani2014 I would have bet a month's salary that he was going to hit into a DP. Guy is a mess in the head under pressure.
