Motor City Sonics

They've come up with a cheating scheme. It has to be. There is no way this can be real.

I was joking. I'll take anyone. Is Tanner Boyle busy?

Can Miggy come back and play Shortstop?

But 7th on a good team is a lot different than 7th on the '22 Tigers.

Almost every team would have taken him. He lost a year of development during COVID. Was brought up before he was ready and put into a terrible lineup, where he was expected to carry much of the load. You put him on a better team, bat him 7th to start out and he's probably further ahead by now.

It's like they don't really know what Socialism is. They think it's the extreme of Stalin (which is funny since they seem to love Putin now). If we had zero socialism, it would be every man/woman for themselves and it would be total chaos. It's a lot like how so many people say they need to be on a Gluten-free diet but they don't even know what Gluten is.

Who says we have to trade him? Just let him go. We have a glut of OFs and pitching prospects that are never probably going to break through here (I am not talking about Jackson Jobe or Ty Madden here, they aren't trading them, but they have others). Some team out there has a glut of shortstops. Some team has a decent potential shortstop that is blocked from playing in the majors. Go find him. All we need is a guy who can be a plus defender and hit over .200. Not looking for a superstar.

I'd take him over Javy right now.

There's a shortstop out there somewhere who could hit .200 with a .250 OBP and could hit at least 2 HRs in 43 games. Somewhere, someone's backup, a guy in the minors who's blocked.........and it probably wouldn't cost you that much, maybe a backup outfielder or minor league outfielder (we have a glut of those). This Javy thing must end. Just eat the money Chris. You can't tell me that there is no possible shortstop anywhere that can't be an improvement. Javy is like the the ketchup clinging to the side of an almost-empty bottle. Can't use it. Time for a new bottle. Even a dollar store brand.

But Kirk walked away mid-season in his last year. He wasn't the same Kirk Gibson and he knew it. For Kirk Gibson to quit in the middle of something shows me that he was just done.

Sometimes you just see when someone is DONE Kirk Gibson's second run with the Tigers O.J. with the Niners Iverson with the Pistons Hatcher and Modano with the Wings Javy is right there. It's just obvious. Not saying his career is done, but he's done as far as being a Tiger. This isn't just a slump.

We need a Shortstop...........I don't care if Jake Rogers can't hit. He does great with the pitching staff. His value could drop with robot umps, but they just have to move on from Baez.

I'm okay with that.

As far as replacing Baez. All a player would need to do is hit .190/.230/.500 to be an improvement with hit 2 HR in 43 games. I think Corey Joyce or Gage Workman could probably do that. Joyce is a good OBP guy and Gage is getting better there too. I know it's minor league pitching, but Javy's OBP before today of .198. Dude's just done.

I fully expect an eye injury from the pizza spear, but someone has to hit a home run first.

Depends on if I get freebies. My company has freebies but today's were taken. I've been a bit overwhelmed at work (lots of last minute things because people think things can be promoted properly on the radio in 4 days). I needed a day off, desperately. I'm not paying to see this team until they give me a reason to pay. Today wasn't exactly a great advertisement.

Biden's fault.

I think they are regressing. Give Carpenter another year under Hinch and they'll ruin him.

16-22 since the 5-0 start, the first 3 against a White Sox team that doesn't seem to care.

I can't think of a better sports trade for everyone involved. Rams and Stafford got the Super Bowl they needed. Lions got the draft capital that our GM knew how to use and started building and Goff got coaches who believe in him and coached to HIS strengths instead of forcing him to be what he's not. Everyone won that trade. That's pretty rare.

Now I know why I haven't gone in 7 years. It's not worth the effort. If they won't put it in, why should I This team's hitters approach at bats with all the enthusiasm of a middle school kid reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance. Had to clean my glasses when I looked at the giant scoreboard and saw Gio's OBP is only one point higher than his BA. -- and he was batting fifth. Kerry Carpenter - one of the few guys that actually give you any offense was batting sixth. Then the Javy problem. Why? Just why? Just find someone who can play short. Anyone. They couldn't do worse than this. There are times when you watch sports and you know when a guy is done and he's done. He's checked out. He got his money. Ooooh, he got a hit today. Still has an OBP under .200, right? Your defense better be Alan Trammel/Ozzie Smith to justify staying - and it isn't. Swallow the pill - blame it all on Al and move the **** on. I don't understand why people think Hinch is good. Yeah, he's good at going on runs when the team is all but eliminated from contention. He tinkers too much. He's Ausmus Jr. Gotta be the smartest guy in the room. Why does Riley need a day off. He's 23. Don't think you're gonna wear him down on a 70 degree day. I think he can manage. Oh yeah, it was a left-handed starter. Well, if Riley can't play against lefties, then he's not a real major league player, is he? A lot of school field trips there today. You probably didn't win over that generation playing like that. Casey Mize was great today - he made one mistake, just one. When the ball went over the fence the stranger next to me pretty much said, right along with me, welp, this one's over. Yep. I still have 18 days left on my current month of the Bally's app. Think I'm just gonna cancel after that. I can find better things to do. Not going to another game unless I get free tickets. Not worth the effort. Could have spent my day off work gardening or something productive.

better start banging on garbage cans then.

Going to my first game in 7 years. Can you still buy tickets right at the Will Call window? I just don't want to pay the ridiculous online fees.

.164 with 2 more guys LOB. His defense isn't so good that it makes up for this. Just swallow the money, Tigers - he needs to go.

COME ON, MAN
