Yes, I was wrong. It was not Smith. Smith was fired at around the same time. I think Pujols may have been an interim move until Dombrowski had more time to make a decision.

Atlanta will beat Cleveland. I don't want any part of the Hawks.

they've achieved the best run differential in the division as of today. I wonder if this year's Pitching Chaos innovation is going to be Anderson as a virtual split starter for either of Mize or Flaherty to get them out of games early before they self-immolate without burning 4/5 relievers to finish the game. I might like to see this become a thing - If Anderson holds up.

Feed Paul Reed.

It appears the US Stock futures do not like the blockade idea.

Was the Pujols move Smith's or was that Dombrowski? I seem to remember the Tigers wanted Felipe Alou to be manager, but he didn't want the job. He became Louis Pujols bench coach.

I was just wondering how much they moved up in a weekend. Small sample sizes change very quickly. Their pitching was only 20th best? An early season good weekend prolly makes them better. Did Perez even get a hit? 😆😆

The Hungary election result is huge. Everything the conservatives have been doing in the US was modeled after Hungary. It gives me hope that this right-wing authoritarian movement in the US can be not only defeated but crushed.

Now is the time for Trump to put his money where his mouth is. He threatened to pour billions of our tax dollars, whatever that looks like, into Hungary to maintain fascism there. If he fails to do so, everyone else in the world can safely conclude he is, at long last, full of ****, and at that point they can **** with him as much as they want and get away with it. He's got one chance to maintain his Supervillain of the World status. It's put-up-or-shut-up time for him. If things break the right way, this has a chance to be a turning point for us as well.

I though Garner was a decent manager who didn't have much talent to work with, probably the best manager of that entire sorry Tigers era between Anderson and Leyland. It was a real sharp move by Smith replacing him with Pujols. The other thing I remember about him was that he name was misspelled almost as much as Raburn. RIP Phil Gardner

Human sacrifice of Meadows obviously.

I've said that all along. I wasn't saying they were bad. I was saying that they were not doing well to start the season and that was the biggest reason they were losing. Or maybe the swept because they added Perez. Not sure.

My second hand Phil Gardner story. Part of my wife's job when we moved to Detroit was to manage the Tigers radio network. WXYT had won the contract after several years at WJR. My wife had a get aquatinted meeting with Phil and his wife shortly before the season started. She mentioned how I was a Pirate fan growing up and that our son was born approximately 9 months after the 1979 World Series. The kicker, he's our only child. His wife laughed, he turned an interesting shade of pink.

Is the Tiger pitching moving up in their rankings now after only giving up 3 runs this weekend? I still say Detroit has a top 5 pitching staff (potential).

I watched it on mlb.com. I don’t know if it’s still there or not. He basically said that he and Phil had a lot in common, having worn the same uniforms and occupied the same positions and that even though Garner left the Tigers under less than favorable circumstances, Garner had nothing but good things to say about the Detroit organization and the city of Detroit. AJ was actually pretty somber.

Great news! Also shows how Trump and Vance are not a positive to campaigns over there. Losers.

Is there audio?

I guess a fan would have to prove that was the actual ball. Keeping it? Good luck with that, prove that's the HR ball...😅😅

Thanks! yes…. I think he DOES know it.

While this falls in the relatively innocuous “world politics” bin… The fallout from this is very cross-cutting.

I thought AJ‘s remarks regarding Phil Garner in the post game show were really good.

Amazing! Viktor Orban and the Fiedsz party lost and Peter Magyar and the TISZA has won. Fascism was beat back in Hungary and democracy won!!!
