After we win the Central, will Rocco play the D squad for the rest of the season? I don't want to go into the Playoffs with a 5 game losing streak. It gets in your head.

We did that in 87.

So, during my foray to Target Field with RiverBrian, we discussed the Central and one thing RB pointed out, and I have to agree, is that Gardy is the wrong manager for the Tigers.

 

Case in point: Why, in this lost season, is Cabrera, who can hardly hobble around the bases, playing? The Tigers have no one else they should be looking at?

 

Gardy appears to be playing to win rather than looking at the youngsters and getting ready for the future.

The Twins played Mauer last year didn’t they?

He'd be the wrong manager for any team. That's besides the point but I do agree with you.

I seem to recall the Twins hammering ver Hagen not that long ago.

Or maybe I’m hammered.

I think he got hammered by the Indians the other day... He's gone 7 innings versus us and given up 3 runs now...

They won 78 games. A more than 20 game improvement is likely this season.

78 wins. 48 wins. Out of it in July is still out of it in July.

 

 

Point being the reason they played Mauer and the likely reason the Tigers are playing Cabrera is twofold: he’s still the reason A LOT of fans even watch the games and respecting the player. Gardenhire has said if Miggy wants to play, he’s going to let him play. Molitor may not have said it about Mauer, but I’m sure the same applied.

This does not look like a championship team. They just don't do the fundamentals!

Well, an excellent play made by Sano there, knowing Cabrera was running...

A bit of a different scenario, as it was Mauer's 'swan song'...

That wasn’t really known for sure until after the season. And it isn’t unreasonable to think that Miggy could hang ‘em up after the year and let the Tigers’ insurance pay his salary the next few years (actually, I would bet the Tigers would LOVE that).
