The Ilitch Diamond at District Detroit Field* They can remove the asterisk when a District Detroit actually exists.

Vivek Randive is one of the least likable people in the world.

I think his career will fall somewhere between Darko and Joey Harrington in Detroit sports history.

Maton heating up.

I think this situation is the only one left in the modern game where it’s a must bunt situation.

This team

Javy don’t need 3rd base coaches

How do you think Apple feels having to show this team to the entire country.

I think he homers tonight and the loud boos turn to cheers. Yes, I’m only saying this because I have 28-1 on he and Greene homering tonight

Hardly. This will probably increase tanking. Cuban would be stupid not to try and protect his draft pick if the cost was only $750k.

Not wanting to quit playing baseball but wanting to quit playing baseball here. There is no other recourse than hoping that he has a complete shift in attitude and performance. I don’t see any way that would happen for him while playing on our non-competitive team that sure looks like it is back in year one of a multi-year rebuild. Honestly, I think his attitude and desire are likely to get worse.

No. However, it doesn’t mean we are stuck with him for 5 years. I think we can get him to opt out. Javy lives in Javyland. In his head, he’s a superstar that all teams would want. His current struggles are due to bad teams, bad managers, and other non Javy things. If we can make him hate it so much this guy will foolishly bet on himself instead of the sure thing. It would be financial idiocy but the guy has a giant ego and isn’t very bright. These are proven to be two of the biggest factors in poor decision making. I can also see relentless heckling from the fans impacting him. We saw how his narcissistic brain handled Chicago fans getting on him last year at Comiskey. We just need to stay the course with him for a little bit and make his time as difficult as possible. Make him sit the bench, make him move away from SS, and do whatever possible to make things hard. His ego won’t allow him to suck it up and make the right business decision. It can happen.

**** Javy. Quickly on his way to becoming the least liked athlete in town. Entitled piece of **** that puts in zero effort. I hope he gets booed relentlessly by the home crowd for the rest of his days as a Tiger.

What a perfect Baez inning. HR prances out of the box on a ball that stays in the park and then forgets how many outs and ends a scoring chance. I’m glad MCS isn’t watching

Tork is going yard against Bassit. He’s not going to chase 3 bad sinkers out of the zone

Maton didn’t look like a major leaguer last week and he sure as hell does this week. Vierling has looked pretty good so far but I suspect he’s going to start seeing a lot less fastballs especially on the first pitch. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts.

I don’t see any way this team loses a game. Completely loaded roster and very manageable schedule. That running back room. Wow.

Have them killed

I’d rather talk about the Blue Jay instead this coming L. While it is a strikingly beautiful bird, most people don’t realize they are actually one of the nastiest, unfriendly species in the bird family. They don’t play well with others and are aggressive to the point of attacking other birds even going so far as to bite their heads off. Despite their regal appearance, Blue Jays really are the giant assholes of the bird family. This meaningless bit of information will probably be more memorable than anything you see during tonight’s game.

That’s easy. Craig Monroe because it’s the only way to get him off the broadcasts.

The once great Dan Snyder humiliated and forced to sell his team in shame and all has to show for it is $6 Billion and record for largest US franchise sale. Not bad for a team he bought with $800m of borrowed money. Pro sports leagues really knows how to dish out a tough punishment. Sterling, Sarver, McCourt, and now Snyder.

That was the perfect scenario to bring in your closer. Oh yeah, we don’t have a closer. We have a rotation of whatever guy is pitching the best at the moment and then AJ brings him in at what he feels is the most high leverage situation in the game and not necessarily for the last 3 outs. A completely odd idea that is loved by exactly 2 people. AJ Hinch and Happy Happy Craig Monroe.

The Lions got a steal if he plays like he did to finish last season. A 5th round pick is a lot more valuable than that version of Jeff Okudah.

There has got to be a way to work out a trade with the Marlins and let Miggy have a half season goodbye tour with his original team. I’ve got to think this would be amenable by all sides at some point this season.

The Tigers are currently on pace to finish 36-126. This would put them 126 games behind Tampa, who is on pace to go 162-0.
