Should be Baddooizm, obv.

haha gmta

awesome

in the spirit of morbs i must complain that i had to click several times to discover what you were reacting to tho

Don’t fight it, feel it.

Baddoo hadn't played a game above A-ball before he homered on the first MLB pitch he saw. In his second and third games, he hit a grand slam and a walk-off single. Rule 5 pick in '20, still only 22. (And he just RBI-tripled in his fourth game.)

Had it not been for procrastination and Baddoo, this thread would have been titled Hinchin' All Night.

Add an outfield assist.

for some reason i was expecting the tigers to be . . . not this bad

not saying that they're screwed, they obviously still have a bunch of prospects in the pipeline and will probably pull elijah green at this rate, but i think we're gonna start seeing some tank cycles fail big. there's too much competition in the tanksphere now. it was easy for the astros and cubs when they were the only teams committing to it.

Possibly ALMOST this bad.

The Tigers have a .602 OPS

That’s 46 points lower than any other team!!

It's higher now, somebody threw a no-hitter, and they swept the Yankees.

mize and skubal looking good lately

Will try to keep the Dazz Band and Daz Dillinger references under control.

New Baddoo IV U: Eric Haase, 28-year-old catcher slugging .671 with eight homers in 21 games.

Mike "Trot, Don't Walk" Hessman is the new assistant hitting coach.

Beau Burrows gives up four runs in 1.2 innings, throws up twice on the mound, is sent back to Toledo.

.500 within reach

can't play the rangers all the time tho

Can play the royals and twins a lot though

True on all accounts.

Just eked out a 17-14 win over the Twins. Praise Ja Happ.

*Out-homered 7-0, though.

i wonder how many times a team has been out-homered 7-0 and won

boy does ESPNStats&Info have the tweet for you

The Minnesota Twins are the first team in MLB history to outhomer their opponent by 7 and lose.
