Has a manager ever been ejected from a post game press conference?

Lulling the Brewers into a false sense of security this early in the season well before they meet in the World Series isn’t the worst idea

Hold on, let’s not flush the thread yet. Deer had his best season as a Tiger. He hit much better than average in Tiger Stadium. He truly did play in the wrong time period, although I personally don’t like high strikeout hitters.

Can a mod flush this game thread at your earliest convenience please?

I blame Avila.

I wasn’t able to watch this until the end. I don’t know what happened. Hopefully it’s just rust or a bad game or the off game of a gentleman’s sweep.

If it ain’t rough, it ain’t right?

Might as well.

Special invite for @IdahoBert to post his thoughts and commentary about Monday’s game in this game thread right here.

Tips cap.

It seems a bit easier when I’m in the room by myself.

How about you focus on fielding your position today, eh?

Valdez on the mound for the TIgers today. Seems like Hinch prefers IF defense to drive the starting lineup. I bet Lee gets a start at 2B, Torres at DH. Now, the question is where do McGonigle (SS or 3B?) and Baez (CF or SS?) play? Is that driven by LHP Crochet and Hinch using Vierling (or Perez) in CF? That's probably how it will play out, I would think. Boston will have RHP Gray on the mound tomorrow. You know, nobody wants to see McGonigle sit. But maybe today is a day to do it? He's going to at some point. Or maybe he starts today's game on the bench? Which, given the circumstances, I would call that a start at a new position I would call "lurking and ready to be unleashed". I don't know how that would fit on a box score. LARTBU? We might need to workshop that a bit.

We're all human. We all have our ups and downs. I try to remember the best in everyone.

Still kind’ve debatable. I mean, has he won any awards yet? How playoff games has he won?

Looks like the time has changed for this game from 1:30 to 4:30 per the MLB icon on my mobiular telephone.

The grind to keep his “brand” going?

I’ve had a Pistons layoff. Busy with work. The Tigers starting out a new season. And really, not much for the Pistons to play for given the probable and clinched seeding of top team in the East. Let that sink in for a moment. Top seed in the East. That’s crazy talk heading into this season.

Yup. Time to start another winning streak.
