1. Noooooooooooooo. Tl;dr: no.

2. Rest up, young fella.

3. Rest up my sweet king. Save your arm for when we need you.

4. Every year I think “wow we have so many pitchers” and every year ends with Skubal and pitching chaos

5. No no no

6. Tiger’s top four young starting pitchers are now all injured:

   * Jobe
   * Olson
   * Melton
   * Miller

7. Our pitchers are the equivalent of the lions secondary lol, just can’t stay healthy

8. This is always the lead up to Tommy John. Next will be elbow issues. Then TJ. Just go ahead and get the surgery already.

9. Melton is a fucking dawg and we need him this year. Be well, young man.

10. 

    Already?

    Bro I actually was just starting to like him

    I think we all no what’s coming next

    It’s not fair

    Is Ty Madden coming back soon

    I remember being excited about seeing him develop before he ended up getting hurt

11. TJ incoming

12. Hopefully he heals up. He has that short compact wind up. I wonder if his shoulder is stressed.

13. Might as well assume he’s not going to contribute this season – seems how it goes with these young arms more often than not. Legit starting to be concerned about our pitching depth, especially if Verlander’s age catches up.

14. Bubble wrap the bullpen

15. 🎶 *Hello darkness, my old friend* 🎶

16. 

17. Not a big deal at all this early in the year

18. this is a disaster
