“I don’t talk about this much,” he told reporters after his ceremony, “because I don’t want to preach patience anymore to the fans. I’m sick of hearing the word patience in a lot of different areas, and I understand the fans are, too. But one thing I will tell you: If you trust my judgment as a baseball man, and I hope you do, there are a lot of good ingredients for a great cake here. I truly believe that. “The ingredients are here to make a great cake.” - Jim Leyland

Rookies! Dance off!

Rookies flexing

Incredible catch.

El Mago!

There she blows Bligh!

McGonigal first HR in WM.

Come on win one for the skipper.

A.I. all your base are belong to us.

Yes.

I wasn't talking to him. Tigers score runs!

Score runs!

He deserves it.

Because Dirks defense was not the best?

Inge was actually there for the ceremony today and Leyland said that in his speech.

Good to see Meadows back. Hurter getting called up tomorrow. He's with the team today. He will pitch the bulk of the innings tomorrow but won't start. All games except Skubal and Montero will have an "opener" for now.

Great ceremony. Congrats skip!

He played two games at third in his career.

Things didn't go bad at the trade deadline. Things went bad when Riley Greene got hurt. Whenever they have lost Carpenter, Tork and/or Greene, the lineup has become much easier for opponents to navigate. That's why they need to add a couple more good bats, especially since Carpenter and Greene have dealt with injuries and Tork's lack of performance. Keith and Malloy were feasting on pitching with Greene hitting behind them. They have guys who can get the job done but they need more threats in the lineup.

Emotions are high after the deadline and giving up nine runs. Chafin and Flaherty were big contributors but that's why I said add a starter and closer. Overall their staff has been middle of the pack this year.

I don't think we're going to see a complete overhaul. They have over 20 pitchers on the 40 man roster. I could see signing a starter and a closer and then the best 11 other guys make the team.

A competitive team wouldn't have the amount of question marks the Tigers did entering this season. They answered a lot of questions on players this year and still have time to answer more. Then we'll see what happens in the offseason. Does Harris add proven players or not? We have a pretty good idea about most of these guys at this point. I'm sure there will be some of them being evaluated next year but the majority will be expected to perform. I think it's time to compete next year or Harris should have traded Skubal.
