The Valenti Show with Rico - Mike BLOWS UP over Javier Baez hitting second

Valenti can't figure out why the Detroit Tigers keep hitting Javier Baez second. #tigers #detroittigers #javierbaez

[@Michiganrailfan]

Rico loves to get mike all amped up and I love it 😂😂

[@tristanhipps604]

Imagine being under the Mendoza line with your OBP…….off

[@JBeezy003]

This is why people enjoy Valenti and I am certainly one of them people.

[@TheUnnamedAssailant]

Mikey V No Filter is EASILY one of the most entertaining radio personalities, it certainly helps that on least the shit he knows, BOY does he know

[@jameslyon163]

Is Scott Harris asking for advice from Al Avila on his transactions

[@kasstalkshow9920]

Joe Rizzo! Cant be any worse then Frank Rizzo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@edwardrossman9448]

Great segment by Mike.

[@jeremykayy]

I continue to watch the Tigers as I always have in order to properly maintain my simmering rage at ownership and management. I am however hopeful for Scott Harris’s leadership. He came into a tough spot much like AJ.

[@ezioaltairac]

I’ve heard that AJ likes to play passive aggressive with his lineups. He knows that he has to play at least three AAAA players everyday, and by moving your worst OBP guy to the most important slot, it gets us to talk about it. Hell, Chris only does stuff if he’s being slimed in the media or if people dig around the District.

[@WWXspartan058]

Preach Mike this lineup continues to embarrass

[@lonewo1f045]

Not Fruit Stripe gum 😂😂😂

[@noah.conley]

Colt Keith is a beast, tigers need to call him up to triple-a!!! Not many players can make a jump from double-a to mlb… so let Keith get some at bats in Toledo before we are saying bring him up

[@noah.conley]

It’s simple they don’t want to rush Keith and Malloy!!! Malloy hit barely over .200 in May… his bat has been cold… I expect Malloy in a few weeks once he is hot again

[@ezioaltairac]

He’s shown to be elite with the automated balls and strike calls as well. I’d rather have him learn how to get over slumps in the minors, as he actually has an everyday future compared to Nevin.

[@noah.conley]

@@ezioaltairache thing is if we call these guys up when they aren’t ready you run the risk of stunting their development like Torkelson… Torkelson wasn’t ready for mlb barely played on Toledo and now we are witnessing the cost of rushing prospects 1st hand

[@jeffyj9998]

Mike Valenti is Italian Frank Fleming change my mind

[@edwardrossman9448]

Scott Harris is committing GM malpractice. Does not even try to call up Malloy or Keith. As said by MIke- if they struggle send them back down.

[@paulwetter3262]

I'm beginning to believe Javy is in the lineup every day as a strategy to show how unmotivated he is. You normally look to veterans for leadership and Javy doesn't have any contribution at all.

[@ArchMadman]

Simple, now they will tank the rest of the way so they can draft another pitcher high

[@noah.conley]

Not true lol, we are taking Florida OF Wyatt Langford, also the guy obsessed with pitchers is gone in Al. Scott will draft a lot of hitter, he was assistant GM of Cubs when they took hitters every year

[@russellthornton9283]

The Tigers need to call up Justyn Henry-Malloy and Colt Keith!! They need some punch in their Lineup. Javy Baez should hit in the Bottom of the Lineup, not 2nd. What a Joke!! 🙄

[@noah.conley]

Patience you guys are giving Harris 60 games lol and calling him out to rush our prospects…

[@jtimko2196]

The prospects and AA players are better than the guys we have. Might as well play them and get the young guys experience. They can't do any worse.

[@samuelwilliams6154]

While I agree I need to see JHM or a meadows or a Keith at some point this year because watching Miggy, Schoop and others is gonna make me lose my mind

[@jnmessa3777]

I thought that clown act Juan "Gone" Gonzalez tanked it here in 2000, I believe Javy Baez has topped that tanking and the dude won't be released 'cause that would cost Illitch $$$

[@EricaAllispn-d2h]

Mckinstry only one can get on base and having baez back second look at the rbi production baez is in front so I say even though baez is worthless he's most likely to get out one run lol yeah it's a joke only way tigers win is have the greatest pitching staff ever

[@bigdaddyrayengland5893]

Call up colt Keith!!!!

[@noah.conley]

Nick Lodolo is not good Mike!!! Tarik Skubal is miles ahead of him

[@samuelwilliams6154]

He was solid last year

[@noah.conley]

@@samuelwilliams6154ya Cincinnati is 2nd hardest place to pitch outside of Coors field since they have 2nd most elevation… I just don’t see it with Lodolo

[@tonystreetman8209]

Rizzo R I Z Z O Rizzo!

[@goodfella8143]

I got a player who the tigers gave away and is looking like he's found it in Tampa...Isaac Parades ...and I was someone who thought it was a bad deal from the beginning even tho Austin meadows looked good in Tampa he hasn't really brought that to Detroit. And it's sick to watch.

[@michaelstein7510]

The Rays seem to fleece everyone on trades. Very well-run organization.

[@goodfella8143]

Robbie Grossman would be our HR and RBI leader right now had we not of gave him up lol he's only batting like .230 but still I don't understand if this is the team we are rebuilding with or scott harris is still going to tear it all down like Brad Holmes Did .

[@plumisland1070]

I agree with Rico; bunch of AAAA players on the farm.

[@fredleinweber2819]

I already knew Rico hardly knows a thing about baseball but guessing Javy Baez had ANYTHING close to a .350 OBP even for a 20 game stretch is beyond sad. Come on Rico, its not just a football and basketball show.
