  1. Twins@Tigers (29-19) 1:10 PM Comerica Park (17-29) Dylan Bundy RHP 3-2, 4.54 ERA, 31 SO Beau Brieske RHP 0-4, 5.04 ERA, 18 SO MIN Lineup DET Lineup Luis Arraez (L) 2B Kyle Garlick (R) LF Jorge Polanco (S) SS Gary Sanchez (R) C Trevor Larnach (L) RF Gio Urshela (R) 3B Jose Miranda (R) 1B Nick Gordon (L) CF Ryan Jeffers (R) DH Harold Castro (L) DH Jonathan Schoop (R) 2B Javier Baez (R) SS Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B Spencer Torkelson (R) 1B Willi Castro (S) LF Daz Cameron (R) RF Tucker Barnhart (S) C Derek Hill (R) CF Looks like they took my advice and put Hittin' Harold in the leadoff spot. I guess Miggy is still sore, so that means, what, 2 bench players? Haase & Clemens?
  2. An excerpt from Kody Clemens Hall Of Fame Speech - July 29, 2046 ..........and I would also like to thank the Detroit Tigers for drafting me, I know I didn't play much for the Tigers but being traded to the Pirates gave me the chance to win my 3 MVPs and 2 World Series rings. So thank you, Tigers. I still root for you to have a winning record every year and I know the rebuild since 2015 has been a tough one, but I believe Chris Illitch has nothing but the best intentions and I look forward to dropping by Duggan Field to catch a Tigers game soon............and to see if the District Detroit promise has been realized.
  3. I need some advice. I have 2 jobs (it's really 3 jobs, but 2 of them are part time at home that I do whenever I want - as long as the deadline is met). I don't have to do any of them today and I did my yardwork already this weekend when it was cooler. What do I do now? Today and Tomorrow - what the hell do I do?
  4. Does that mean we'll get to see Roger Clemens in town at the game today? That'll make me a little ill, but I won't take it out on his kid. I don't know that Kody is going to do much, but who knows, maybe he comes up with no expectations and doesn't think about too much and just plays and runs into a few hits. They can play him in the corner OF positions. He' not that good there, but he's not that bad either, just kind of meh.
  5. Lets look at the realistic outfielders here (removing infielders that have tp play outfield) Derek Hill - 1st round draft pick Daz Cameron - Trade Riley Greene - 1st round draft pick Robbie Grossman - Free Agent Akil Badoo - Rule 5 pick Victor Reyes - Rule 5 pick Austin Meadows - Trade So that means in 7 Years all that Al & Company have come up with are Riley Greene (completely unproven) and Derek Hill (basically Quintin Berry). That's it. Oh wait, I am forgetting all the other outfielders the Tigers drafted but are with other major league teams..............................um.........are there any? Honestly, are there any? (Don't say Nick Castellanos, he was an infielder converted to an outfielder and he's a terrible outfielder). How bad is that? I don't see anyone coming from the minors this year...........or even next year (other than Riley). Other guys are seemingly pretty far away or will end up being converted infielders.
  6. How about this lineup today (expecting Grossman to go on the IL, he was yesterday's sacrifice to the Gods of Punishment for lying about District Detroit) Who will today's sacrifice be? Harold Castro. cf Schoop, 2b Cabrera, dh Baez, ss Candelario, 3b W Castro, lf Torkelson, 1b Clemens, rf Barnhart, c
  7. but they are both wearing home uniforms.................A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX !!!!!!...............oh, wait.........probably an All Star Game.............um, never mind.
  8. Oh, and start treating mental illness too........take it more seriously.............stop this toxic masculinity of "suck it up" and actually start getting to the cause of it all.........the reasons someone would even want to do something like this. Not exclusively guns or mental illness or bullying or over medicating, it's all of it, it's a toxic mix. Our whole society is acting horribly now and as sports fans, we see more and more stories about fans interjecting themselves into games by throwing things and it's not just America, there have been numerous incidents at soccer games with fans rushing the filed after the game and assaulting the opponent, even when their home team wins the game. All this anger - everywhere - and we're fighting each other when we should probably be working toward a more common goal of financial equity or, at least, fairness. All this other stuff is just distraction so we don't pay attention over who is really screwing us.
  9. One thing we can do is - if a gun is used illegally, like the case in GR, the person who did not secure the gun needs to go to jail. Like the wonderful Crumbly family. If someone sells a gun to a person not legally allowed to have one, they should be charged as an accessory. If someone buys a gun for another person because that person can't buy a gun, they need to be charged with the full extent of the crime committed. Make it harder for lunatics to get automatic or semi automatic weapons. Since 18-20 year olds can't buy liquor (because they are not old enough for the responsibility) then how are they old enough to buy automatic or semi automatic weapons? Start cracking down hard on this. Regular pistols, shotguns, rifles...........fine, as long as a person hasn't committed any violent acts in the past. People do need them for sport and people do need them for protection Nobody needs a full magazine to kill Bambi.
  10. Roster moves today.............purely speculation Elvin is fine, leg cramps (DRINK YOUR GATORADE, YOUNG MAN) Grossman to the Injured List Kody Clemens called up Sam Howard called up for the doubleheader.
  11. Yes, most days you're giving out traffic tickets and dealing with people either making stupid excuses or cussing you out. Most days you deal with domestic squabbles between neighbors, strangers or spouses that could get dangerous if not de-escalated. Most days you're dealing with petty crimes like left or drug possession where nobody's life is ever threatened and most days are spent waiting for something to happen but hoping it does not. But every day, every single day you put on that uniform you have to have the thought it could be your last. You constantly have to mentally prepare for that and it sucks, but that's the job and if you aren't willing to do your job you shouldn't have your job. Yes, you would have been risking your very lives by going into that school, and that is scary as fuck and I know I couldn't do it, but I don't put on the uniform, you do and you probably shouldn't anymore.

  13. Eric Haase just sucks.
  14. Are you watching an online feed?
  15. Fireman Chet Kelly's been good this year, but today will be his day to melt down.
  16. Opening Day players who have current injuries Casey Mize Matt Manning Tyler Alexander Eduardo Rodriguez Austin Meadows Victor Reyes Will Vest (Almost opening day) Michael Pineda We don't know yet Robbie Grossman Miguel Cabrera. Not to mention Javy Baez missed 2 weeks.
  17. So, when does Peralta get hurt, 6th inning, 7th ?
  18. Some of the blame, but this is freakish. No other team is having nearly this many issues and they all had short Spring Trainings.
  19. I'm looking at the 40 and I am removing Turnbull, CIsnero, Funkhouser and Rogers who were all injured coming into the game and the only guys they haven't used from their entire 40-man roster are. Sam Howard Brendon Davis Zack Short Kody Clemsns and it's not even June. And............when did they put Short on the man? I didn't see that move and who got lopped off to make room for him?
  20. Well, I'm sure Tuck'll have his back turned going to to the Double Bubble bucket for a couple pieces of gum and a line drive will hit him in the back of the head the way this season's going.
  21. Seriously, I've said this like 5 times already but I have been paying attention to baseball since about 1975/76 and I've never seen anything like this.
  22. This team is fucking cursed, man. They need an exorcist.
  23. He could have torn it up. Sometimes when you hyper extend it like that it doesn't really hurt right away. With Grossman out with Shingles or Leprosy or whatever plague has infected him and Miggy with a sore back, we have only Tucker Barnhart on the bench now?
  24. Any word on Grossman? Jeez, even our base coaches are doomed.
