The Tigers website confirms Perez in, Thames to DL.

“The sign says no Perezes. We’re allowed to have one.”

According to the Mudhens website, Timo Perez has been called up. I can only assume this means Thames is going on the 15-day DL. Perez is not on the 40-man, but I’m pretty sure Sleeth could safely be removed.

At the end of the chain, a 6-year old t-ball player gets moved up to the 7-year old live pitching league.

That’s an interesting question; would be interesting to track a string of transactions all the way to the bottom of the food chain.

I am curious, does anyone know how it works when the Tigers pull up a AAA guy, what happens to the AAA team? I assume they must have to pull someone up from AA. Is that the case? And the string of callups has to end somewhere, leaving some team short.

To see Marcus make that game saving heroic catch in left, rolling and tumbling, and flipping and rolling some more, and then to come up injured only adds to the legend, but man do I feel bad for him. I loved me some Gnarls Markley.

Edit. 3 Wins this season when Santana was on the mound is the correct sentence above ( one time his time could get him a no-decision)

OH Man, what a nail-biter again.
It’s great to see that those tight games fell in favor for the Tigers and not the Twins. Wasn’t so very often in the past.

The Series is already won and today Bondo vs Baker. (Better don’t write the “S” Word )

I can’t believe, that the Tigers have now 3 Wins vs Santana in this Season (the first overall in the second-Half )

Man, this feels good

Does anyone want to play more badly than Thames right now? How much longer until first pitch tomorrow?

Granderson’s catch last week and Thames this week. These guys are playing their hearts out. GO TIGERS.

If you don’t like the announcers, mute.Put on some classical music. These guys are a joy to watch. They have won two games scoring a total of four runs. Sweet.

it’ll be all right…leyland is ready to bring back Babe Shelton.

Upon a little research, I’m happy to report that my dementia has not yet reached its peak. Leyland did, in fact, replace Verlander on a 1-1 count in Game 2 vs. the Yankees. Jamie Walker came in to retire Robinson Cano in the sixth and induced an inning-ending double play. Tigers win. Walker got the W.

I do not know of the Rodney replacement in Toronto, but based on my limited knowledge of Leyland’s moves, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he did make a similar move. Especially if he had walked 3894 batters like Mike R. pointed out.

Welcome back to the big leagues, Timo.

Any word on Monroe? What do we do if he’s down, too?

Crap.

Happy thoughts… CLE, BOS, MIN all lose.
We’re best in the AL!
