  1. They only get to play the White Sox so many more times.
  2. Wow. Season just ended this week. The rest is pointless. Again before Memorial Day. Couldn't even get us to the 4th of July. How many years in a row is this team going to be out of it before the first day of Summer. Yeah, yeah, I know "evaluation" "rebuilding" "young team". Sorry, I'm ****ing sick of it.
  3. Starting to think the Diamondbacks pitchers were tipping their pitches or something. Total anomaly last weekend.
  4. Are they giving Tork TOO MUCH advice?
  5. The saving grace for Avila is the fact that we also had Matt Millen and Troy Weaver around the same time he was here and compared to those to he's not so bad, but he was pretty bad...............as we watch the Royals pass us by. Please don't let this happen with the White Sox. Harris gets 4 years with me before I say much of anything. Seems pretty clear that the big spending days of Mr. I are long gone, so in order for this team to be good they have to draft very well and we won't know until 2026 at the earliest, especially with him taking a high school pick in his first draft with the Tigers. If we aren't seeing clear indications that that first class of his is showing promise by 2026, I'm gonna be pretty pessimistic on Harris.
  6. He's been pretty good for a guy that didn't pitch in an actual game for two years. He's not all the way back yet, I bet that takes the whole season, but the way he's pitched has been very encouraging. This team gets just two halfway decent hitters next year with Skubal-Olson-Mize and they should be a contender. The voice of Lou Brown sayin "We might have a couple of All-Stars" is in my head. The only thing in the way of Skubal being THE Cy-Young favourite is Seth Lugo, and based on his career, I think his pixie dust will start to run out soon. I don't think Skubal has peaked yet. Just stay healthy, young man. Is Olson a current version of Jeff Robinson or Willie Blair with the out-of-nowhere great year? I think Mize could be as good as Petry in his best years. What about Jackson Jobe? It sure doesn't seem like he's on pace to be in the majors before 2026. Glad it's a hamstring injury and not his arm, but even before that it seemed like they are babying him a bit. I just feel like they should go ahead and pitch him and if he needs TJ - then go ahead and get it now.
  7. The frustrating part is that they are 23-24, but if their hitting was just simply a little below average, they could really be something like 29-18. The pitching's been brilliant, but that offense is so inexcusably bad. That's why they frustrate me so much. I mean, getting shut out twice in a row by the worst team in baseball? That's infuriating. Plus we still can't beat the ****ing Oakland A's.
  8. I saw an article about teams that have had great starting pitching and how rare that is this year. The Tigers weren't mentioned. That's what I mean by obscurity.
  9. What is so frustrating is while we sank to obscurity the Royals got to the World Series twice, won it once, broke up their team, sunk to the bottom and have now passed us again as we continue to languish in obscurity. It's a true indictment of Al Avila's incompetence. Harris doesn't own anything yet. 2026 is the year I start really evaluation what he's doing.
  10. The absolute nightmare scenario for MLB. This along with the Xfinity fiasco, and the avalanche of injuries.............things aren't going well for baseball right now.
  11. Just people that can't get into Dodgers games or there to see the road team.
  12. Yeah, that's what I mean. Eventually. They won't trade them this year (unless they think there's a good chance of future injury.
  13. Is Anthony Rendon the worst contract in baseball history? He's back on the 60 day DL and makes the comment that baseball is not a priority to him. If the Angels had fans, they'd hate him.
  14. How intense is game 7 going to be? I want the winner of this series to win the Cup. Canada needs this !
  15. We're gonna trade him. We'll trade Riley and Olson too. We're gonna be the new Rays. Better hope they draft very well.
  16. Antoine Greene, folks. Secret weapon.
  17. Okay.......... that's how you wanna play it Arizona?
  18. I would be cool with the Tigers petitioning playing their home games at Chase Field.
  19. So, before the season - Who here had Wenceel Perez as the Tigers most efficient run-producer?
  20. Oh my gosh, it IS Jason Girlli
  21. Man, this is awesome. Sitting here with all the windows open, getting fresh air, nice breeze blowing in. Curtains waving lightly with the breeze. I got baseball on and my team's not pissing me off..........
  22. That was a fun inning. Oh no, is he bringing in Jason Grilli ?
  23. Hey, Joey Cora - if the kid missed 2nd base - DON'T BROADCAST IT !
  24. 2 TRIPS FOR THE ROOKIE.
  25. Javy is hitting .340 at Chase Field.......................Hey Diamondbacks............make us an offer..............PLEASE.
