I can imagine the scene in Tiger manager AJ Hinch’s office: a bingo-ball tumbler, the kind with the crank handle on the side, and white ping-pong balls inside with various Toledo Mud Hens’ names on them.
[Hinch turns the crank while calliope music plays in the background]
Hinch: “The next Toledo Mud Hen to come up is... Drew Hutchison! Hey, somebody get Drew on the phone!”
Well, indeed, Hutchison got the start for the Tigers tonight against the Chicago White Sox, and he generally did alright. Who didn’t do alright were Tiger hitters — again — as they dropped the second game of their series, 5-1.
