Motor City Sonics

It's funny that we move Keith to 1b because he was a below average defensive 2b. There were only 3 second baseman worse at Defensive Runs Saved than Keith. One of them was Gleyber Torres. I hope Torres hits, because that move still doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Maybe he just needed out of NYC.

Because McStinky can play in the OF. If only J-Hen could play Center, but since he can't play Left or Right, I'm thinking it's a non-starter

DING ! I was in 10th or 11th grade. As big a Tiger fan as I was, I had never heard of him, but he played before I was born and he was basically Zack McKinstry. I remember him being nice, but he was kind of a depressed guy.

If Meadows isn't throwing this week, then is he going to have enough time to be ready for Opening Day? 13 position players (I don't see them going with less than 13 pitchers) C (2) - Rogers, Dinger OF (4) - Greene, Carpenter, Perez, Meadows (or Jones) INF (7) - Keith, Torres, Sweeney, Ibanez, Tork, McKinstry, Baez Once Vierling gets back, I guess that means Jones goes. Plus there's Jace Jung, who I think will start in Toledo. I don't know, I sense a trade is going to happen at some point. The infield is kind of a mess. I hope Baez can show us something.

Okay. Back in 1982 my mom dated a former Tiger player. They dated for a couple of months. See if you can guess who it is - Backup infielder. - Grew up in Windsor - Played from 1953 - 1961 for the Tigers, Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins, and Kansas City A's. - Wound up scouting for the Tigers and had a 1968 World Series ring that he showed me (when he was scouting). Who is it?

I've really got my doubts about Kreidler. I would really prefer Jones over him as the CF option to pair with Perez.

You mean because "reasons" ?

Really, why?

So the Lions will have DJ Reader and DJ Reed? Or is Reader already gone?

I have a big pet peeve that I think many of you would agree with Anytime someone becomes popular now - they are everywhere to the point where it's completely annoying. I don't need to see anymore Kelce brothers or Post Malone. Cereal box and Oreos. What do the Post Malone Oreos taste like, caramel and cigarettes? Just go away and go count your money, but give us some ****ing peace.

I was thinking the same thing

I think Seattle is going to regret Sam Darnold. The Lions totally exposed him. And the Lions did not have a great defense.

This is just like last year when Larkin went down with his injury. They totally fell apart. Larkin and Raymond are not the same since the Four Nations tournament. Not a point since before the Four Nations tournament. Yzerman's seat should be giving him blisters on his arse at this point.

I hope Manning does alright for the Reds, Pirates, Marlins or A's I, like Gehringer_2, thought he might have been the best of the bunch a few years ago. We always love to rate how good our prospects are and all teams do, but if you look back through MLB history at any given year - out of a team's Top 10 prospects, if 3 of them wind up being above average Major League players then you are doing pretty well. I remember hearing the greatness of Mize, Manning and Skubal, but also thinking that in the real world, the best we can realistically hope for was one to really become a star. Skubal's the star, Mize is a 4th/5th starter and Manning is probably done as a Tiger. If we can get anything above average out of Mize, then we're doing really well.

My head is like a radio on shuffle. I wake up with songs in my head every day. Not always ones I like. Sometimes they are songs I have not heard in years (Go Ahead And Rain by J.D. Souther the other day - which I like). Today it was Strange Meadow Lark by Dave Brubeck, which I love. No idea why it was knockin' around in there, but it was.

I can understand why this song would appeal to someone with mental health issues. If you locked someone in a room and played this on repeat for only 45 minutes, it would be considered torture. I love Brian Wilson's music. He was a genius (talking past tense because his days of music-making are over). But like every artist, not everything he did was on-target. There's plenty of nonsense in his repertoire. It doesn't all need to be found.

Like he's High AF (sorry, I just find it amusing, not accusing the young man of anything, he's like Jim Breuer, who got cast in Half Baked because he looks high all the time).

if he swung at that one, he was late.

No, you just Sprung Ahead 1 hour and 1 minute last night. Goofball.

They're gonna keep him until the last year of the contract.

THIS GUY HATES CANS ! STAY AWAY FROM THE CANS ! THERE'S CANS IN THERE TOO MORE CANS !

Will be able to watch Mud Hens games in 2027? Just as the Tigers will be starting a peak. Losing Skubal will hurt, but only a little bit since he's a 1 out of 5 guy. Starting pitching is not as important as it once was. Tigers kind of proved that last year. But if the Mets don't win a Series this year or next, Cohen will let Skubal/Boras name their price. If he looks anything like he did in 2024 again, that's going to be at least 60 million a year. But always remember. Washington lost their superstar player, an everyday player and then immediately won a World Series. Bryce is still ringless. Build a good organization and you can survive losing one player. I'm telling you -- no MLB season. This will be an ugly one. I wish we could eat cake frosting as a meal.

The players are paid very well, they can survive it. The owners will find ways to write it off and they won't lose a thing. Especially with this Billionaires-First country of ours, especially now.

The amount of greed on both sides here is immeasurable. You know this. Neither side will give on anything until they piss a whole season away. They don't care about the game. They don't care about the fans. They don't care about the cities and businesses that'll lose money. They only care about themselves. We mean nothing.

I don't think there will actually be a season. Just as Greene/Meadows/Carp/Keith get good and Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle are getting read to break out.
