  1. Perron playing some serious keep-away. That shot almost won it with 1 second left in OT. Wow
  2. 3 on 3 OT is so fun to watch.
  3. Well, shit...........
  4. Wait, I thought they worked it out and started playing in a real arena. That didn't happen? Geez.......Quebec City, Kansas City, Hamilton, Milwaukee, Houston...............come on man...... It's Phoenix, it's not a natural hockey market (neither is Houston, but they have a much higher population
  5. What is your Avatar?

  7. If the new hitting coaches can get Schoop, Baez and Meadows back to their averages and then save Tork before he's completely broken, then the team is going to do a lot better right there. They should go after Justin Turner. He's perfect for them. High OBP guy, still decent at 3rd, and even though he's 38, he still gets on base. He won't be looking for a long contract. I know they'd like to find a left-handed hitting infielder, but they just need to get someone competent at third. I don't think Clemens, Kreidler, Perez or Lupcius is the answer there, at least not right now. The free agent list is weak this year and the ones at the top won't be coming here. The rest of them, I think, you'd have to look at guys with OBPs over .320 (maybe higher). That's what he said his priority was, understanding the strike zone. That's why Daz, Candy and the Castros are gone. That 17-4, 2.14 season comeback- of-the-century year for Franklin Perez is going to be awesome, though.
  8. In baseball, you have to commit to a GM longer than any other sport because of how long it takes drafted players to develop. You have to give him at least 4 years unless he just does some incredibly stupid things, but I wouldn't expect it from this guy.
  9. I don't think Harris leaves his hometown team to come here unless he got certain assurances IN WRITING that seemed appealing to him. Cheap & Controllable might be the 2023 way for 2 reasons. (1) 32 million wrapped up in one aging, non-productive player in his last year and (2) we really don't know the long-term outlook for our young starting pitchers. If the Tigers think that Skubal, MIze and Manning are going to be what they expected in '24 and beyond then they can trade some other young pitchers to bolster the roster, but they aren't going to know any of that this year, so this year it's likely to be band-aids on bullet wounds with next year being more aggressive with Miggy's 32 million, Schoop's 7 million and possibly Javy's 25 million all off the books. The next offseason is probably is probably where they make some interesting signings and trades on the field, this season was about fixing the organization off the field and I think they've made some good moves, but we won't really know it for 3 or 4 years.
  10. That is a great story. They've developed this great friendship.
  11. DING !
  12. 11-0 = $1,500,000 5-6 = $100,000 still a bonus. Seems fair to me.
  13. Did you know that the game Golf used to be called Goff. Wonder why it was called that. Maybe the sound guys made when they missed a shot . GOFFFFF
  14. You let the clock roll if you are going for a tie............but then they called a time out with 30 seconds left. If they were going for the tie all along they should have let it run down and made Buffalo call a timeout. Criminal clock management.
  15. Coached well for 58 minutes.......Crapped the bed the last 2.
  16. Had their chances today.................Defense is looking a lot better. Much easier schedule in the last 6......If they go 4-2 they can finish 8-9..............edge of the playoffs. With that schedule 4-2 is not too much to ask. That Minnesota loss is such a killer.
  17. Terrible game management at the end. Played not to lose instead of playing to win.................
  18. Well............I'll tell you, they fought hard. Buffalo is a much better team and we have so little depth. They looked good in front of the country today.
  19. Upset with the Lions coaches because they were playing to tie that whole time.
  20. Yep...........there you go.......FG range in one play............. Kerby almost had it
  21. 23 seconds is still a lot of time for Buffalo.
  22. Curve ball by Badge Man Did they open the the doors?
  23. Goff & Chark have not been on the same page very often this season.
