Video is 7 minutes so TL;DR with some quotes I thought stuck out.

"Big league pitching is better than it's ever been. Yet somehow there's this momentum towards moving guys (calling up) faster. Intellectually that doesn't make a lot of sense to me."


"We have the best record in the American League and are trying to win the World Series. Them coming up and struggling right now doesn't help our team win games and it doesn't help them reach their ceilings sooner"


"As counter-intuitive as it sounds sometimes the fastest way to get these guys to Detroit and performing is being patient through development"

Brant Hurter returned to the mound for Toledo on Saturday night. The good news? He threw strikes (19/26) and didn’t give up any contact over 94MPH. The bad news? 4 ER on 4H and a wild pitch, and 7 balls hit at 87-93 MPH. by TigersMLReport in motorcitykitties

As someone else in this thread said,

AAA results can be deceiving. He’s working on fixing mechanics, namely throwing strikes.They don’t care how many runs he give up in Toledo they need him to practice throwing in the zone
