Tigers Hire Tim Federowicz As Catching Coach

Well, you're no fun to my theory.

I am guessing Avila was on the crapper or something when it was time to draft Skubal. Someone else made that move. That's my theory.

If only they could'of landed on an independent team like the Long Island Ducks or something. That could'of been a docuseries right there.

Oh, we might find out that history (Smith) has repeated itself (Avila).

Candelario might not be a cornerstone for the next playoff team, but is he taking time away from a possible cornerstone of the next playoff team? I think he’s a good candidate to bounce back. If he does bounce back, I don’t think he’s going to get a next contract that’s expensive in years or salary. Although now that I think about it, I didn’t expect to see Correa sign 3 deals in one off-season, so what the heck do I know?

Where would you have him? What if they had him at 101? Is there much difference between the two?

Maybe you should send the instant pot to Edman as a gesture of gratitude.

Yes, perfectly. It kind of makes me wonder how fans might react towards Harris if Candelario does bounce back to a 2021 type season.

When Shepard was named permanent play-by-play, I thought there would be gradual improvement over the years. Maybe with Morris out of the booth, he can be a little less stark struck and improve upon where he is? I do think that could be part of the issue. Then again, I'm of the age where I've heard a lot of broadcasting by guys that ranged from pretty darn good to iconic, and I think a lot of other folks around these parts fit my demographic. Have we been spoiled? Are we expecting too much? Is what we get from TV similar to what happens for a lot of other MLB teams?

Allez les Pistons!

My mother-in-law buys us scratch offs for Christmas. I would rather have the cash. I used to have to deal with the lottery when I worked in a grocery store in the past. Yes, a lot of "frequent flyers", and sad because this store was in a lower income area.

So we ain't heading to the casino this weekend?

Was it just the normal clock stopping shenanigans exacerbated to a higher degree?

Chicago Bulls vs Detroit Pistons

I thought bbref had number of different lineups used in a season, but maybe they don't? It'd be interesting to see what the total was last season and this year will stack up next to it.

Bad joke was bad I guess.

Rogers has missed a lot of game time. He might show well enough in camp, but I’d wait on it.

Maybe, maybe not. He doesn’t control the strike zone and he isn’t really versatile. I think his defense is due for a sharp step back without the shift.

Harris is combing the waiver wire for a GM.

Assuming reasonable health and no other significant changes between now and then: Green will be the CF. He's earned it. Baez will be the SS. He's earned it (over the course of his career). Meadows will be the RF vs RHPs for sure. He's earned it (over the course of his career). Cabrera will be the DH around every other day at minimum when healthy. Haase will be the primary C. Everything else is probably up in the air, and lineups will likely be different on a day to day basis. Certainly there is hope that Torkelson earns 1B out of camp and that they can cobble together a roster that is well rounded and flexible as there are probably going to be many platoons, call ups, send downs, etc.

He drew, what, 3 or 4 charges today? Another loss, but they were undersized, Bojanovich was out, Stewart got into early foul trouble, etc, etc. On to Paris.

We’re not allowed to hope for better than we’ve got.
