Can anyone fill me in on what made Roden a coveted trade target for Varland? I’m at a loss. 

He can play CF is the only thing I have seen.

Just about everyone on the Tigers was better before the All-Star break. Even if they hold on and win the AL Central, I don't see them making much noise in postseason.

Turning this guy into Skubie Snax.

Game ends when someone pulls a rubber mask off of him. "and he woulda gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for these meddling batters!

When no other team in the division challenges you on wins, you get complacent

Ober HR trouble continues

Is Ober part of the future rotation.... This HR thing is getting to be problematic

As someone who has spent most of their career in human resources, why do we always get the blame?!? Maybe it's those ***holes in accounting causing problems 

[ziggy]

Ober's first 2 pitches to Torkelson were right down the middle.

Don't blame the scorekeepers if your team is losing. 

[RpR]

A two home run night for Julien?

Nope but Julien is at the Mendoza line!

[C-Gangster]

If Tarik Skubal strikes out My lord and savior Eddy Julien I will find him.

[Patzky]

Julien is finding Sku-balls to his liking

That's right. You fire the scorekeepers and hire ones that will lie for you.

[USAFChief]

Julien again didnt immediately run out of the box on that hit.

It's a really bad habit.

Just wanted to see if he could hit.

[jkcarew]

Does it make sense to carry Julien in 2026 if only to play against left-handed Cy Young candidates?

[C-Gangster]

If the umpire keeps giving bad calls to my lord and savior Bailey Ober I will find him.

Say that to my face

I had my annual physical at the VA this week. So I'm sitting in the doc's office and he's staring down at my labs.

He looks up at me and says "Don't eat anything fatty."

I was a bit taken aback, so I asked "like bacon? Cheeseburgers?"

He shook his head. "No, fatty. Dont eat anything."

I also see you said “most” of your career… You wouldn’t happen to have worked for a start up company called Astronomer recently as Chief HR and have an affair with the CEO?

How dare you! I would never, EVER go to a Coldplay concert 

[SS MagicMark]

Eddie's been saving it all up for tonight, it seems. 

[Patzky]

Not sure Bailey has much left but the alternative is equally grim. Urena? Sands? Brrr

[USAFChief]

OK sir. Enough. Who are you and what have you done with Mr Julien?
