Jonathan Schoop: "I feel really good here. I feel comfortable here. I want to stay here. ... This is one of the best days of my life. I can't show it because I'm not that emotional of a guy. But inside I feel really happy."
From Tigers game notes: The Tigers' bullpen has thrown 21 consecutive scoreless innings, Detroit's longest streak since a 22-inning stretch from Aug. 4-9, 2011.
Ballgame. Tigers 8, Red Sox 1.
Miguel Cabrera goes on the road still at 498 home runs. But today was a nice performance from the Tigers' order. They are 44-34 since May 8.
A.J. Hinch says he just talked to Akil Baddoo, who is alert and doing ok. But Baddoo is being checked for a concussion and also having his shoulder looked at. Hinch said he would “be surprised if he doesn’t need at least a few days, if not an IL stint.”
There’s a lot of excitement right now. But gotta have a little reflection. Today is our one year anniversary of existence. Thank you to everyone whose listened, subscribed said hi to

On the day of the trade deadline, Michael Fulmer put his phone up and jogged out to the field.
Now he's settling into a new chapter.

Can confirm Akil Baddoo is going on the seven-day concussion protocol.
Hearing he is feeling ok, however. Still sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

From another source on Derek Hill: No structural damage. He will miss a few days. As of now, an IL stint might not be necessary but we'll see how the Tigers decide to manage the roster.
Hey everyone,
@CodyStavenhagen
here. I’m still hopeful
@TheAthletic
and
@Oliviawitherite
can help save my real account.
In the meantime, I’m planning to tweet some Tigers stuff from this account tonight … because it turns out life off social media isn’t as nice as it sounds.
Why, you might ask, is Hittin' Harold hitting third tonight?
"He can hit, that's one reason," A.J. Hinch said.
Hinch also wanted lefty presence atop the lineup tonight.
A.J. Hinch said Akil Baddoo has been diagnosed with a concussion. He will have to miss at least seven days, per MLB protocol. Hinch said Baddoo is in good spirits despite the concussion
Hinch also said Derek Hill is pretty sore, “hobbling around” with sore ribs and knee.
In another step forward for the Tigers, Jonathan Schoop gets a two-year extension.
"I feel really good here. I feel comfortable here. I want to stay here. … This is one of the best days of my life."
Al Avila said the Tigers had been in talks with Schoop about an extension for several weeks.
"While there was maybe some inquiries on him during the trade deadline, I think at the end of the day we felt this was gonna happen."
Jonathan Schoop said he told Scott Boras: "I want to be (in Detroit). This is what I want to do. I want to be part of this team. So if we can do it now, why wait until the offseason?"
Cody and Kieran wanna wish everyone who has listened, RT’d or laid a comment on this site a Happy Thanksgiving. Grateful for y’all. We’re just a couple of lucky guys.
A.J. Hinch said today Casey Mize won't make his next start until Tuesday against the Angels. That was in the works prior to last night's outing.
Tigers will likely start Mize, Skubal and Manning on extended rest for the remainder of the season.
Our origin story begins in Franklin, MI with a boy on a paper route. Thank you for listening and supporting us over the last 4 years.

A.J. Hinch on Baddoo: "He feels like he was in a car crash. He's pretty beat up. It's simply just a head injury. It's a concussion with pretty significant body soreness. There's been no other diagnosis of an injury other than he hurts like hell."
A.J. Hinch said Akil Baddoo has been diagnosed with a concussion. He will have to miss at least seven days, per MLB protocol. Hinch said Baddoo is in good spirits despite the concussion
Hinch also said Derek Hill is pretty sore, “hobbling around” with sore ribs and knee.
Eric Haase’s feel-good story is only getting better after he won AL Rookie of the Month. It seems improbable for a 28-year-old who didn’t get a real chance in spring training.
It’s not so much of a surprise to the coaches who saw him grind in the minors.
Also: Robbie Grossman seems to be doing well after his elbow contusion, but he will get a day off.
Jose Urena is throwing long toss and will also throw off a mound today.
Julio Teheran is throwing "soft bullpens" in Lakeland but needs to build up velocity.
Our bosses kindly allowed
@CodyStavenhagen
and
@Kieran_Steckley
to enjoy a holiday weekend away from the pod. But rest assured, we’ll be back firing soon. Thankful for all our support and listeners. Hope everyone had a fun and safe holidays.

A.J. Hinch: "When your better players want to be a part of what you're;e doing and want to stay here, it's reallyeasy for a manager to fall in love with a guy. There's a consistency to him in what he brings every day, and I've said he makes me smile every day, makes me laugh."
We want to see your TTCP koozie this weekend for the home opener! Mention us in your stories and in your pictures on Instagram and X for a repost!

One thing that could work out quite well for the Tigers: Schoop can likely man 1B for the rest of this season and into next. But whenever Spencer Torkelson is ready, Schoop can easily move back to 2B.
Ballgame. Tigers 2, Indians 1.
Miguel Cabrera went 0-for-3 with a walk, still on 498. He'll get the day off tomorrow.
Tyler Alexander pitched 5.1 strong innings.
The bullpen made it way more interesting than it had to be but ultimately closed the door.

Dr Mrs Turning The Corner turns 30 today. I wrestled in my mind for months on what to give her as a present. I landed on a perfect gift. A koozie from the
@TurnCornerPod
official merch store. She truly is a friend of the podcast.
Gregory Soto just said “I throw fast because I listen to Turning The Corner on Apple and Spotify. Subscribing to The Athletic to read
@CodyStavenhagen
helps with my accuracy.”
