Which of the Tiger baserunners commented on his cleavage when the got to first base?

Roof is closed. No hope of holding the lead to the end of the 5th and then praying for rain.

Wow. Not quite Pistons’ alt blacks circa 2022-2023, but someone should be fired for those.

Roof closed, oblong has a happy.

I don’t know. Personally I think they should try acquiring/developing better baseball players and see how that works.

I guess it might depend upon how they use Nevin. Is he an everyday 3B or just a 3B vs LHPs? If the former, DFA McKinstry, he clears and goes to Toledo, meanwhile Maton is the 2B vs RHPs and fill in at 3B and SS. But then if Nevin is the everyday 3B, Baez is the everyday SS, the Maton/Schoop platoon at 2B, then does Kreidler benefit by riding pine in Detroit or playing regularly in Toledo? I don’t know, is a bench role Kreidler’s career best bet?

Not bad. The usage of exclamation marks and some cursing add some much needed tone. If you could add a gif of a cat using an ignore button, that’d really be a nice touch that I don’t think has been used yet.

He did it in 2021 and they were close to a .500 team.

Why were they very radical?

After 3 games?

I’ve skipped out on a most the the last month. A combination of other things to tend to and there’s just not much else to see out of this season.

Day drinking again?

Not really, I would still have your constant bitching about Killian Hayes in the Pistons’ forum to look forward to.😆 Just do me a favor if you do put me on ignore. Continue with the standard protocol that others have developed and make a scene over putting someone on ignore. Nothing is more ironic than creating attention over putting someone on ignore. It’s one of my favorite head scratchers.

But what if the roof is open in Houston?

That’s exactly what the organization should be doing on the field. Figuring out who can do what. Essentially this is an extended spring training for 2024. Why not?

You can put me on ignore if you want to. I don’t care.

Schoop? He's not versatile. It's questionable if he is tradeable. Heck, maybe this is the trade? DFA Schoop to claim Florial. Or DFA a RP.

His neck hit Duren's knee while Bagley was falling to the ground. The good news is Duren's knee seems to be unaffected. The bad news is this team has games yet to play this season.

Yes, this is unlikely to change. They're going to need the pitching, Greene, and Torkelson to be what we hope they will be in order to improve in the short term (ie, 2024/5).

They still sucked in 2004. And 2005.

Well, he has taken to dredging via waiver wire, traded away a couple of relievers, and signed a few one year deals in the short term. Some coaching and other personnel changes have been made. I think his first few years on the job need to be about progression of the organization rather than results in the standings. It sucks for fans that have that 7 years in the rearview, but it is what it is at this point.

Yup. So while we can point to a possible completely blank slate of mostly minimum salaries and a handful of arbitration level salaries going into 2024 if Baez & Rodriguez opt out, there needs to be some substance with that group of players in order to mesh with whatever free agents they can lure in to have a chance at being competitive. Laying the foundation for the next competitive team is going to start from within the organization, not necessarily by shopping the free agent pool. I liked the idea of going after Haniger. He ended up signing a reasonable deal ($8M, $20M, and a player option for $15.5M). Wil Myers made sense as a RHB that could handle corner OF and 1B if needed. I don't think the Tigers were tied to either. The acquisitions of Boyd and Lorenzen seem reasonable enough to me. They should bridge this season if they can stay healthy. But I'm hesitant to assume the pitching that was going to be core of the team going forward will be what we hoped it will be. Their recovery would go a long way to being competitive in 2024.

Cabrera is the ticket draw from what I've been told by some.
