Thank the baseball gods! Now get C-mo out of there and we are building a winning program!

multi-position versatility and budget efficiency.

The Shep news automatically makes the offseason a win in my books, everything is gravy from here on out.

Give me a ****ing break

Continuing the trend that dems are expected to behave like it's 1991 and not 2023. They have to play nice and old school congeniality while the GOP can run amok and break norms.

If you’ve ever listened to his podcast, you would say hard pass. Very sugary and optimistic—that would wear thin fast. The Masters thing was funny, though.

Want me to throw out a name? If the Dodgers decline Max Muncy's option, sign me up.

Josh Lewin!!!!

My bet is on Mario Impemba returning.

This will shake up the team. I hope to higher and higher levels of production and professionalism. "If Matt Shepherd can be fired, any of us can lose our jobs! "

so... it's on then?

What is Kiner-Falefa going to rebound to? His next season of an OPS at .700 or higher will be his first.

I found him pretty annoying before those allegations came out.

I think this is right. He was coming off a serious injury onto a team that was in a playoff push. The next two months will tell us more about Jamo than the last 18 months have.

The entire caucus is nothing but tweeters

Yeah, I see him on Twitter. He is a pleasant guy but he's like a labrador receiver. Everything thing that happens is the greatest thing ever.

Uh huh... And who bears some responsibility in that exactly? Who has spent years nurturing and enabling thus behavior?

This has become the best part of the week recaps

Another reason Bogey should be moved. He can't play if you believe the new coaches comments. I know what people are going to say. We need his shooting! You are not wrong of course. But on a team full of kids, you need to teach them how to play the right way. Build that identity, the team culture everyone always talks about. That probably has more value than putting a shooter on the floor that doesn't defend. It might make this season more painful than it needs to be. But it will pay dividends 3-5 years down the road.

Nice to see V and Mosely practicing, would be great to get our line back along with our starting secondary sans CJGJ.

Throwing out names is dangerous because every player either sucks or won't play for Detroit or costs too much!

what about Greg Gania the Erie Seawolves radio guy

Surprised. Mario maybe?

Its been said multiple times, its not a crop of free agent position players this offseason. I think if the Tigers bring in new position players, it'll be via trade. Meadows look reasonable at the plate in his debut, and I think can be the CF out of the gate. Baez is going to return, like it or not. Rogers showed enough to be a primary catcher. That's pretty good defense up the middle. If the Tigers can get good enough offense to where this trio is stuck in the bottom third of the order, that's probably the best possibility going into 2024. Greene, Torkelson, and Carpenter will hit in the top 6 spots of the lineup. The key will be adding sufficient bats to the top 6, keeping Greene healthy, and keeping the lesser fielding OF from causing too much damage on a daily basis. In other words, the less time Carpenter (and/or Malloy if promoted) have a fielding glove on, the better. But that means getting bats and defense at 2B, 3B, and RF. It'd be nice for one or two of those spots to be right handed hitting (RF is probably the best spot). Maybe they can figure out a way for it to work with only one of Malloy/Carpenter in the field and the other at DH. But will Greene require more time at DH than we might like? That's kind of tricky. I suppose they can try it for next season and see what happens.

Yeah, McCarthy has poked his finger in the eye of the Dem Caucus repeatedly since become Speaker and has proven himself untrustworthy It's amazing, despite all of this, there is an expectation that the Dems would or should just bail him out.

Considering how well Lions fans have been traveling, coupled with the ease of getting TB tix and the amount of transplanted Michiganders in Florida I could see that Bucs game feeling like a Lions home game.

U2 opened the Las Vegas Sphere.

I predict he will have the type of year that will make us think his extension was a steal.

Trump wouldn't have the votes to get Speaker IMO

PS: Yes. But there will still be holes to fix as I noted above. Think Steve Kemp traded for Chet Lemon.

The 70's ruined me. Of COURSE every Tiger prospect is going to be great! I already SEEN it HAPPEN!!!

So, next year will be like 77. Just 7 more years until the World Series! 76-87 were my Tigers fan glory years, so repeating that would be fun. Except I'm old and cynical now.

Knew the knives would be out for McCarthy within a year. Surprised it took this long. They're gonna try to vote Trump in as Speaker.

did we just get the invite to the cool kids’ table? Just act cool. Just act cool.

Irony is officially dead: Microsoft CEO Nardella complaining about Google monopoly power....... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/02/technology/microsoft-ceo-testifies-google-search.html

It looked to me like the Lions defenders hesitated, waiting for the whistle. We won so it doesn't really matter but if that play would have cost us the game? Another way the NFL tried to screw Detroit. Play should have been stopped once the clock hit zero. There's really no excuses, the clock hit zero and the ball wasn't snapped. To then say it's not reviewable? Absurd.

"ben johnson sucks" "how does this idiot have a job?" "we have the worst coaching staff in the league!" "if ben johnson isnt fired at halftime then dan campbell is the worst head coach in football" its chatgTP!

The Lions aren't losing this game, not THESE Lions. I'll actually be surprised if it's anything less than a double digit win.

The Padres were one of the most underachieving teams ever, so I'm not sure Soto and Tatis made players better.

30+ wins wouldn't totally shock me. Not sure its a lock or anything like that though. I hesitate because it is a new coach with a new system to learn. They could struggle the first few months of the season. I still think Cade is set for a monster season. Maybe not make it, but definitely in the discussion for the all star game.

You can hear the Stringdusters on E-Town on Ann Arbor's 107one Sunday morning at 7 !!!!!!

Are all our teams in the minors done now? Time to close this thread? If so, Kudo’s and other chocolatety-covered granola treats to LongLiveMaroth for his daily commitment in providing summaries for all of our minor league games this past season. Sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman!
