Madden officially on DL, Vest acrivated. No word if they plan to call up a starter or go another bullpen day (knowing Hinch probably the latter).

Flaherty didn’t walk anybody today! That’s progress.

This offense is just pitiful right now.

I feel sorry for anyone paying $19 or $20 a month to watch this trainwreck of a baseball team on Detroit Sports Net.

Just what we need, another Cleveland team coming to town, this time to play the Tigers.

Is it too soon for the annual “send Torkelson to Toledo or trade him” talk?

Should be 90 days free the way the Tigers are playing.

No. In May, he's hitting .125 with one home run and five RBIs.

The Tigers were in their City Connect uniforms last night. I thought those awful things were only used on Fridays.

I did a Google search to see if I could find a reason. Nothing but ads came up. I guess that answered my question.

The City Connect unis are now being worn on home-game Mondays. I like how they switched the City Connect hats from the "Detroit" wordmark on the crown to the old English D.

The orange alternates are the new Friday unis. The dark blue alternates with the orange trim are being worn on Sundays.

As bad as Tork has been so far this year, remove that five-game stretch that accounted for five of his six homers and six of his 17 RBI, and his stats would be downright abysmal. But he's been decent defensively, and he's really the only bona-fide first baseman on the roster. We're likely stuck with him for the indefinite future.

I'd send Tork to Toledo, put Keith at first, and call up a fringe guy since the Maxes are not ready.

Bases loaded, down one run, two outs and you have McKinstry pinch hit? Why not Workman, or even leave Lee in? Reminds me of Leyland pinch hitting Don Kelly and getting zilch.

Tork hit a dinger, but looked awful in his other at bats. I stand by my stance of optioning him to Toledo. He’s a mess right now.

Dump Jahmai Jones too. That AB in the 9th proved he is not a major leaguer.
