Dude, how are you ahead of me even when I watch the game live? Barnhart just struck out.

Sooooo...... Cabrera.......

Somebody needs a group of mentors instead of a group of enablers.

He must have impressed AJ if he signed off on the hire already.

I believe it with the vendors. Their polo shirt game got stronger upon Dombrowski’s arrival.

I am glad they went outside of the organization. It also appears that they've gone outside of the Hinch baseball tree, so to speak. The credentials seem good. They've gotten someone in place before the offseason begins. That seems positive.

This seems like it came out of nowhere. I thought CI was too busy counting his pizza pizza money money?

Because MLB had to add games at the end of the year to make up the first week, St. Louis hosts Pittsburgh for 3 then travels to Pittsburgh for 3. St. Louis has the division in hand, up 8 with Milwaukee at an elimination number of 8. Maybe seeding could be at hand Atlanta, or maybe even New York? I don't know, seems like the chances are slim. I guess wat I am getting at is that the final 6 games of the season shouldn't make or break anything for St. Louis or anyone else.

Meh..... Can he steal 3B like Cabrera did earlier this season?

Arsenal aside and just looking at outcomes, he's above 5.0 BB/9 for his 4th MLB season. Its fantastic that when its clicking, he's on. But the walks are just too much. 13.1% vs 8.5% league BB% over his career. To be completely honest, I'd be fine with nontendering him. You just can't give up all of those free passes. Or they have to be more willing to yank him quickly. It seems like its pretty obvious whether its Jeckyl or Hyde after 2 batters.

I like the ones pictured in the game thread. There are Stars' jerseys with the thick blue accent along the buttons in the front going up and around the collar. I know the Tigers have worn those before, and it might be the version that they always use. I'm not a fan of those, but I like simplicity. I really like the hats, both the grey cap and the white cap that have the red star and the blue bill.

Detroit Tigers (55-91) at Baltimore Orioles (76-69)

Hey, at least he didn't walk him.

There's simply no excuse for certain FBS programs to lose at home vs FCS programs. Zip. Zero. Nada.

Chicago White Sox (75-71) at Detroit Tigers (55-90)

Nice play by Torkleson on the Andrus bunt.

Hey, Cabrera makes the most money around there. Maybe he should make the decision?

I don’t know that they should have a heavy influence. Why should they? With all due respect to Horton and his legacy with the city and fan base, I would think his employment is more ceremonial than operational. There’s absolutely nothing working with that at all. It’s good to see someone of his stature associated with the team. it just doesn’t mean that he should sign off on the next GM before it’s official. As for Leyland, is he still doing some scouting around the minors and Pittsburgh? He might have some connections through that, but again, is he in the know enough to contribute anything to this search? Bottom line is this, just because someone has had favorable history with the club doesn’t mean they’re in a position to advise on the future of the club. In fact, it might be beneficial to network with other clubs to get an idea of opinions about potential candidates.

I don't understand why people assume CI's motivation or his interest level in the Tigers. MI was the owner through some awfully bad seasons before he finally got rid of Randy Smith, yet for whatever reason, that gets ignored when some folks talk about CI not being the passionate owner that MI was. Heck, I think there was a stretch during MI's ownership where the Tigers had its worst length of time (per winning percentage) for some accumulated seasons in a row. But it clearly goes without saying, CI is going to have hit a home run with this next hire. Worst team in baseball over the last 7 seasons and all of the spoils that come with that through the draft haven't been realized in terms of a farm system that's bursting with talent. If they want to use Hinch's network of baseball relationships, that's fine. Who does he know from the Dodgers, Astros, Cardinals, Braves that can get this team in the right direction? And not just from the capacity of the GM. Take a look at scouting, analytics, and development.

The silent response is deafening.

Went to Vegas twice. Never made a wager on a game. Kind of wish I had just to say that I did. On the other hand, the one that I considered betting I would have ended up losing, so there's that.

I'll say it...... its time to mix some waters into your current hydration program.

4. Venmo to Casimir - Just whatever you find to be your allowable disposable funds. I'm not too picky with the amount.
