I say this half in jest but part of me thinks he should legit try it and that is once he gets to two strikes just take a couple pitches, if it ends up being a fastball down the middle and you do down looking so be it. On the other hand if they are sliders away like they have basically been every time you now show teams that you are willing to lay off of them so maybe they'll actually start to throw you something different sometimes going forward.

Jesus turned water into wine but Fetter turned the Tigers bullpen into a force. You tell me who the real miracle worker is.

A top 5 prospect in baseball is getting called up for this weekend's series at Comerica...unfortunately it's not the guy we were hoping for.

I'm gonna keep watching since I'm only 5 mins but just want to comment this before I forget. Holmes and Campbell say something like "there's only 1 person on the board" when they put in the Hutch pick, if I'm reading it right I'm thinking they must've had him and Walker as the only 2 guys they thought about with that pick and after Walker was taken that left Hutch as the only person on the board.

ESPN put out their projected draft order based off their FPI metric and they have the Lions with the 8th pick. The teams ahead of them in order are Jets, Bears, Texans, Jags, Falcons, Steelers and Panthers. 4 of those 7 teams used 1st round picks on QBs in the last 2 years so they may not necessarily be in the market for one this draft. I suppose though that if the Jets finish that bad it was probably due to Wilson not looking good and considering how quickly NY dumped Darnold they may do the same if Wilson looks bad again this year.

Yes offense is down and yes these are kinda arbitrary cutoff numbers but still to do something that only 2 other players in the last 130 years have done is pretty damn impressive.

I think if he is there then he's probably the pick but I wouldn't be surprised if Sacramento goes after him, particularly if they are indeed serious about making the playoffs next year.

With the lack of production and defense we have been getting from the OF this year if Reyes comes back and plays to his career norms he may seem like Willie Mays to us.

My Mom's side of the family is from just outside Pittsburgh so we had our family reunions there ever summer up until I was probably 16. That was my Cedar Point as a kid, miss those days.

The more stuff you post about Murray the more I like him. Im getting to the point where I may actually be a little disappointed if we don't get him, which is weird cause a month ago I didn't even want him.

Don't look now but Daz now has the 3rd highest slugging on the team and is about league average in OPS. Granted being 3rd on this team is like being the tallest midget but still he is starting to look a little more conpetent at the plate and may not be a complete lost cause after all.

Judging by the mocks there are a few guys that could be available at 16 that I like so Id do that deal if offered.

Josh and Gibby's interactions were always the butt of jokes with my friends and I. Like they always just came up with random conversations out of nowhere. Josh: Fick with an rbi double to bring the Tigers within 1 Gibby: "So did you see SNL on Saturday Josh" *ten minute discussion about snl ensues.*

God that book was a lifesaver in the pre digital cable days.

It was only in Toledo but Grossman just tattooed a HR, even if it was in the minors it's nice to see him show some power after it being non existent up here this year.

For those that That was cool of Rizzo to tell Barnhart after the fact that they indeed picked up on him tipping pitches and it confirms what eagle eye Jomboy thought. Of course that is assuming the giveaway was the long look at 3rd like suggested in the video and not something else that we couldn't get a good look at from the CF camera.

New thread title "Non Tigers MLB and Bible catch all thread"

What's the word on Austin Bergner? Like could he be a legit prospect now? Hes currently in Erie pitching to a 2.50 ERA and sub 1 whip with a k an inning. He's 25 so he's a little old but he was drafted in 2019 so this is only his 3rd pro season. Only thing I could really gather on himafter a quick google search is that he was one of the highest ranked pitchers coming out of high school and as of the freep article from Feb he has a 93-95mph fb that can touch 98. Not sure if it has ticked up this year or what his other stuff is like.

At the time of his contract it was said to be fully guaranteed by the Browns. My hope is that there were atleast some provisions about it being guaranteed if he was found guilty or if other off the field stuff came out. While I hate the Browns and normally wouldn't mind them being forced to pay 230 million to somebody that can't help them win I hate what Watson has been accused of even more and even if only a fraction of it is true I don't want to see a scumbag like that walk away with 230 million dollars.

I was gonna say that but I thought that might be too unrealistic.

I would feel good about the season if guys were gonna have in the future finish out the year strong. Not just young guys like Tork,Greene, Tarik etc. but guys like Meadows and Baez as well. If they get on track and we win at a decent enough clip I will feel alot better going into next season.

Lange definitely looks good but it's such a small sample it's hard to know how much stock we should put into it at this point, hell that would hold true even if he looks like this all year. There's just a small percentage of relievers that are consistently good year in and year out that the likelihood of him being one of those rare guys is pretty small. It's possible which is why you wouldn't just give him away but if for some reason somebody offers you a good prospect package I probably wouldn't turn it down. Of course for the reasons I stated at the beginning are the reasons that no team would likely do that but hey you never know what is going through certain team's heads.

Looking at the statcast numbers it's not like the Tigers got robbed by at em balls or stuff like that, Cabrera's hit had an xba of .780(though I do agree it very easily could've been caught) but aside from that there was only one ball with an xBA over .290 and that was Jeimer with a lineout in the 8th which was a .340 xBA.

I remember last year when Tarik Skubal shut down the Yankees Michael Kay went to twitter and said something like "How can the Yankees get shutout by some nobody named Tarik Skubal?" Granted Skubal's season numbers weren't the best at the time but he was in the middle of a bit of a roll at that point after the disastrous April. Not to mention being one of the 2 or 3 best LHP prospects just the summer before. When the Yankees have a prospect like that all of them treat them like the second coming of Koufax but for other teams they are nobodies in their eyes.
