Major rookie mistake by Scott Harris. So, learn from it, and not just about trade-deadline screw-ups: He needs to view the Tigers and Detroit as something other than a clinical commodity. It's a baseball audience. An original one. He's so detached, so distant, it's embarrassing.

To repeat: The Miguel Cabrera farewell has worked out about 1,000% better than was imagined or forecasted here. Rather than this being a demeaning struggle, the Tigers have in fact (their strategy) used him just often enough -- and he has hit just enough -- to have made it work.

Prepare for major Tigers roster shake-ups as soon as a new GM is in house. Figure on a bunch of pitching being dealt (all names in play) to add ballast to the young outfield crop, as well as catcher. Going to be a lot of flesh peddled. The new guy will not be tentative.

Hey, Tigers telecasts: You’re missing too many game moments with too much conversation. On too many days.

Nomar Mazara simply has lost in his bid to hold onto a Tigers outfield spot. Daz Cameron, Grossman, Akil Baddoo, Derek Hill when he gets back -- Jake Robson at Toledo -- or even Victor Reyes. There is no room for Mazara.

Tigers students had a right to focus on Cabrera and 500. But the bigger story was taking two out of three at Toronto, in what were a pair of exceptional baseball games. The quality of play was high-altitude.

Biden will win. But what an error believing this country hadn’t lost its mind, and its soul.

Javier Baez is simply a mistake. Question for the Tigers will be: When can they accept the mistake and have a necessary separation? They'll need a replacement, obviously. Once a stand-in arrives, they'll need to fact facts, say goodbye -- and get better. It's inevitable.

Kelly Stafford just took repeated sacks with the ball at the 1-foot line. Another one who, sadly, is educated and who thinks you can have it both ways: businesses open and a pandemic, the worst plague this country and world has seen in 100 years, contained. What an embarrassment.
