Big win tonight vs. Boston! I didn’t know Pena was from MA. Quotes like this make me want to stick with the kid:

“I know Mom and Dad are watching. I can’t wait to call them,” he said. “I know my mom has a big smile and my dad has a big smile. It gives them a lot of joy. It’s awesome.”

Just a kid. I hope he starts to put it together.

Methinks the line drives will catch up with the staff.

It's one thing to say it after the Tigers score 7 runs in a series. It's another to bring it after the guy he'd be replacing has consecutive multi-hit games and 2 dingers.

I have begged for others to have more patience with the lad. But something just aint clicking for Carlos, and Shelton is ripping the IL right now. <br> <br>Alas, in both cases, 'tis just one month.
