He's doing his best to make everyone forget Manny Margot.  Keep it up, Outman.

Even the Tigers want to forget M and M.

Right! Going 6 scoreless innings even if it's not pretty is a feat in itself, especially a with a line up from a big city team.

first pitch strikes to 19 out of 25 batters for Abel today. That's going to improve the outcomes...

Josh Bell is a major league hitter. He provides consistency for a team that really needs it. He might not be strong defensively but he is an average to above average hitter.

I think challenges should be left to Jeffers.

I'm not sure what the metrics say, but my eyeballs suggest that he is at least playing a serviceable first base so far.  He may not win a gold glove there, but he's holding his own.

If nothing else, the bullpen should keep it interesting.

🤷‍♂️

It would be okay if we don't have any action this inning.

[CRF]

I hope the pen can hold this one for Abel...he deserves it.
